I wonder if this thread might be part of the reason why people tend to spell better here than on many other websites...

Mithalwen 03-09-2007 05:44 AM

I disagree with this hole notion of Sauron being 'stupid.' - clearly there must have been gaps in the argument... :p

There are certainly some incendiery opinions being thrown about here on the Downs, why not in Middle Earth?

A Freudian slip -- just another coverup?
 
Now that might just be almost a true Freudian slip--a contest between superego and id? ;)

Considering the original context, it could very well be something pro-greeny. I don't see the problem, actually, when Samwise became the Mayor, it was obvious that he was a candidate for the Green Party and the pro-green voters were those who got him elected.

Wow. This is like having a pubescent voice-change-squeak in the middle of asking the pretty cheerleader for a date. I am experiencing a deeply-debilitating moment of personal shame. :o

Seeing Thenamir's clever conjoining of fora here on the Downs, I was prompted to imagine what else frankenfora could be. Possibly an attempt to avoid implying a hobbit twin along the lines of LMP's Lefun and Ritun? Then I went and reread the nasty source. Anyone who can write that scurriously of dear Sam deserves to be tarred with spelling indignities, is all I can say.

He's such a hot property, Alan Lee, that I would never have suspected this of being a typo.

That's psychologically quite an adept description. When men are young and cool they can easily feel themselves to be sky-Gods. Fortunately that age passes... :rolleyes:

Hey! I made it into the Typo thread! Hooray for meeeee....

Nogrod, if I recall correctly (and I've already showed my tendency to mix up people's ages :rolleyes: ), you're not as old as you make yourself sound here...

In that case it can stand as testimony to your oddness. :p

You mean in is not usual to cherish others' malapropisms and incorporate them into one's vocabulary? Oh well, odd is good..... I embrace my eccentricity... as you may have noticed :D

Hmph. In such a case, I think the original author would prefer being PMed instead of having it flaunted about here. :rolleyes:

another similarity is that Gringotts (the wizard bank) is guarded by goblins "So you'd be mad to rob it" and from what we know of tolkien dwarves they don't take kindly to robberry either.
I think I've just found a name for Bêthberry's evil doppelganger rpg character--or maybe a Robin Hood character version of her.

Or would that be a name for a Mr. Berry should Bethberry ever change her: :Merisu:

There was a real Rob Berry at my school.

Hmm... ... when I read the post from which the above is taken I got the impression that "bareback mounting" was intentionally included by the poster.
