Typos (or: Is it a Freudian slip?) is great, I think. Although it got a bit off the original intended topic, it's still funny to read too! Go read it!

And thank you, Maril and The Evenstar!

"When Spring unfolds the beechen leaf" by Birdland gets my vote. It's very poetic.

Hobbit Sex Ed from Marileangorifurnimaluim. Geez, who could resist clicking on that one?

*Blushes* I certainly couldn't resist, I must admit...*turns an even deeper pink* I would be willing to guess that every one of my fellow teen-agers clicked on it too. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 04-25-2003 05:26 PM

I like: Another stange gift of the elves or lost contacts?, by Silmarien. The thread wasn't as intriguing as the title, though.

Also: Tolkien Scholars or Academics can Kiss My As-taldo, by the one and only Lush

And a third vote for: Blue Wizard Quizzes, from Pallando B.C. on a quiz thread that has nothing at all to do with the Ithryn Luin.

Hobbit Sex Ed's pretty good too... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Marileangorifurnimaluim 04-26-2003 12:33 PM

Thanks, guys! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] The holder of the 'most nominations' remains to this day Rimbaud. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Really? I've always avoided it because it sounded too learned!

Well, once you said that, I couldn't resist. And I have to admit that I'd read quite a bit of it before I realised what 'Sex Ed' meant *blushes a deeper shade of red than Vanima*

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 04-26-2003 02:01 PM

heehee, it's just generic random trivia if you look inside, Lyra. No blue wizards in sight. (unless you count Pallando BC [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img])

*Varda* 04-26-2003 02:03 PM

Hobbit Sex ED...yes, it would seem the title drew a lot of people to it [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

And I like Typos (or a Freudian Slip?) too.

I think that's one of the most amusing threads to read, actually...

Estelyn Telcontar 05-30-2004 11:47 AM

I simply must dig up this old thread to nominate a new, very clever thread title by HerenIstarion - "ReVerse"! Such a cute play on words for his specialty, turning Tolkien poetry around so it's opposite in meaning...

Sirithheruwen 05-30-2004 12:00 PM

Well, to nominate one of my own...

Frodo the Drama Queen

The name seemed to draw people in, but the thread was a flop. :rolleyes: It was, after all, the first thread that I started.

Ah, there are so many cool thread names I thought were really cool, but now it seems I'm having a blank...I'll be back though.
Here's one that was stuck in my head for days on end: From the Books forum: Man to Man in Araman (by Nilpaurion Felagund).

And in the Quotable Quotes section there was a thread: A few quotes (yes, I'm bored at work). Not sure if this was the exact exact title though.

HerenIstarion 08-07-2004 01:41 PM

it's been a while - time to bring it back
 
So, new nominees are:


=====================================

Tolkien- For the Love of Eowyn!
(The Books)

To the point

by Lady of Light

=====================================

The Ennui of the Elves
(The Books)

Again, gives the reader a chance to fairly well guess of what it will deal with

by Lalaith

=====================================

Losing Sight of the Basics...
(The Books)

Very intriguing title, stirring one's curiosity as to what are basics we are loosing sight of?

by Child of Seventh Age


=====================================


F34r th3 l33tn3$$
(Middle-Earth Mirth)

For it's very strangeness, catches attention

by Witch-King

=====================================

insanity reigns!!!
(Middle-Earth Mirth)

IT DOES (five explamation marks...)

by Lady Snickerdoodle


======================================

Everything I need to know I learned from LOTR
(Middle-Earth Mirth)

Many of us did :)

by Maeggaladiel

======================================

That's not all, of course - there is an ocean of worthy titles to be brought at the altar here :)

cheers

Eomer of the Rohirrim 08-07-2004 01:50 PM

There is only one for me;

Hot Balrog Lovin' by doug*platypus. I just about fell of my seat laughing when I saw that. :D

HerenIstarion 08-07-2004 02:10 PM

yes :)
 
Hot Balrog Lovin'

Amanaduial the archer 08-07-2004 04:30 PM

:eek: ;)

Another one which I saw today which made me smile (if in a sort of vaguely confused way) was Monkeys eat bananas, right? Oh come on, tell me you weren't intrigued...;)

I noticed that one too today. I laughed. :p I just had to click on it...I couldn't resist. :rolleyes:

HerenIstarion 08-08-2004 02:32 AM

Monkeys eat bananas, right?

by Elenglin

It was one of the first nominees on the page 1 of the current thread

Though the title is a bit more promising than what its contents fulfill :)

HerenIstarion 08-08-2004 02:10 PM

And Eru Smiled
(The Books)

Just because I liked it :D

by Iarwain

HerenIstarion 08-09-2004 02:32 PM

=================================
LOTR vs. Scholars, or Academics Can Kiss My As-taldo.
(The Books)

worth a read, sure!

by: Lush

InklingElf 08-12-2004 05:18 PM

I haven't seen this thread in awhile: The Geriatric Club -- what a great name! My grandparents would be proud.

Amanaduial the archer 08-12-2004 05:37 PM

Heren, I can't help noticing: you posted three posts in a row...and each of them was almost exactly twelve hours apart.

Hroom...;)

HerenIstarion 08-13-2004 12:44 AM

Does the feat qualify for Top Ten Signs You're Addicted To The Barrow-Downs or rather for Downsaholic Anonymous?

(Not to be off topic, I nominate both, btw. So, the latter is by The Perky Ent, the former by Lush)

Lhunardawen 08-14-2004 02:55 AM

I second And Eru Smiled and Downsaholics Anonymous.

I also nominate A Little Somethin' Somethin' Just For You by Lush. Sounds really thoughtful...and a great quiz, too!

Sirithheruwen 08-19-2004 04:53 PM

Must...Obey...Gremlin and I just wanted to see the sailboat! (both by Eomer) were titles that drew me in...besides the fact that I'm a crazed Eomer-stalker. ;) :p

HerenIstarion 08-20-2004 02:08 AM

Equinii and Solsticsesss, m'preciousss
(The Books)

Just lured me in, that title did... :)

by Mark 12_30

Morsul the Dark 08-20-2004 02:26 AM

there are two I like

"Quantum physics multiple unverses...no LOTR"

and

"Smack the Dwarf"

Eomer of the Rohirrim 08-20-2004 08:48 AM

Yes, those were certainly intriguing. Who were they posted by Morsul? :D

mark12_30's m'preciousss is definitely a good 'un. And cheers Sirith! I contemplated those titles for several months in order to get them featured on this thread! :)

HerenIstarion 08-21-2004 01:22 AM

Morsul is a tiny bit of a cheat ;), as Smack the Dwarf is of his own authorship :p. Tricky, tricky morsul :)

But let us second that nomination

Morsul the Dark 08-21-2004 01:29 AM

sorry i just find them funny

Downsaholic

Know yer mates or a member above ye

and

The Agony of bad spelling

Son of Númenor 08-21-2004 08:28 AM

Grieg for Gimli, Schumann for Saruman

by mark12_30

:D
