You're only half right. I'll give you two guesses as to which half. Very clever guess though.

I'm going to guess that Cele is right...

Bright-> smart-> wise
So, I'll say Celeborn.

I half want to just give it to you, seeing as how this is a really tough screen name. But Celeborn is not correct. Although... it's on the right track.

3rd time's a charm
 

Well...

Gormless- lacking intelligence

Take off "less" and you don't lack intelligence, right? Then you're bright.

So Celegorm?

We do seem to be dominating this game, do we not, my friend? The turn belongs to you.

Fea

Indeed. Let us see if we can continue the streak.

The new screen name... Swampy_Pond_Faucet

Attention, members of the The Barrow-Downs- Feanor of the Peredhil has a lovely brain, I repeat, Feanor of the Peredhil has a lovely brain.

:)

Your turn, m'lady.

Ah, a lovely brain. My ego is purring. Try this on for size, friends:

Well first, just because I know someone else will guess this if I don't, I simply must guess Gollum since that's the first thing everyone thinks of when they hear "fish". :p

And!!!!
 

Gollum is wrong. One of the many reasons I picked that name.

Well, "fishing" can mean "trolling", so how 'bout Hurin? He went "trolling" one day and caught quite a few with that axe of his. :p

Or perhaps Bill and his troll companions who got hit with the sun's troll-be-gone ray.

No and No
 

It is not Hurin or Bill. *Hint* think of my usual style... it is not exactly a straight clue either way.

Fea

And here I thought this one was absurdly simple...

Well... every time I call up Ulmo's office in Valinor, they always tell me he's "gone fishing".

Not a Vala.

Then what about Elrond's daddy?

Or Boromir, who took off down the Anduin towards the sea and never returned.

No and no. I really thought this was... easier.

*hint* Fea likes synonyms.

Fea [who probably just gave away the answer...]

gone-fishing is a synonym for taking a holiday, so, how about Bilbo?

Elwing maybe?

Still no, although I am impressed by some of these guesses. I'll give another hint... Gone_Fishing has zilch to do with actually catching fish.

Okay...

Let's say "fishing" is supposed to give us "rod".

That makes me think Finrod.

"gone" -> fin?

Well, when something is over it says "Fin", and when it's over it's "gone", right?

So that's my guess.

And the phantom is right again. I call attention to everyone in the 'Downs! The phantom is incredibly brilliant!

Fea

thats a first....


on with the next question phantom!

Jealousy is an ugly thing, Gil. :(

Fea's flattery, on the other hand... ;)

New name-

Lap_of_a_Young_Lady

Legolas

Leg- Lap
Young lady- Lass

Edit: The phantom is wonderful and all his questions are brilliantly constructed. *angelic*

Glad to see that edit, missie.

(Fea and I weren't going to give the thread to you till you used a more respectful tone :p )

But you only got "lap"-> "leg" and "a young lady"-> "las". You forgot "of"-> "o". ;)

"Fea and I"? Where in that flattering post did you see a compliment paid to me? :p I don't think I want to give up that easily.
So since Sophia forgot the 'o', does that mean I can pretend I got it? Kidding, kidding.

In all seriousness (at least... in mostly seriousness... no wait... it's all) CONGRATULATIONS SOPHIA!!!!! For anybody who hasn't noticed, Sophia has just broken a long line of dominance. That takes some serious brains and I would totally rep her for it... only I have to "spread some around" first. :D

Fea

Long line of dominance... w00t! Er, I mean, now I have to come up with one of these things... *grumbles*

I'll be in my cave with my thesaurus if you need me.

15 days, 15 days *evil grin*
 

And it's mine again!

*hint*
 

Okay... not so hard. Think along the lines of 'Downs members for the first part.
