Okay. Sure thing.

Tenor Sax to Frodo to breaststroke (EVIL!)to [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Tenor sax is an musical instrument, musical instruments take practice to learn how to play, fencing also takes practice, fencing is done with swords, Frodo had a sword, swords are made of metal, metal is naturally occuring, swimming goggles are not naturally occuring, some people wear goggles when they swim, breaststroke is a swimming stroke, some people are very bad at swimming, that might cause their swimming teacher to do this: [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] .

Tinuviel of Denton 08-04-2003 06:14 PM

We do need a new topic, Luthien. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Thanks for reminding me. I think I've done this three times already! I guess I'm just used to waiting for verification in the Quiz and Quotes fora. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

red arrow to trash cans to pints to mice to Beren

A red arrow is an arrow, Arrow points can be made of metal, trash cans can be made of metal, scissors are made of metal, scissors are used for cutting things, paper is often cut with scissors, paper is made from trees, ents are like trees, Treebeard is an ent, Merry and Pippin met Treebeard, he gave them Ent-draught to drink, drinks can come in pints, hobbits like pints, hobbits are small, mice are small, mice like to eat cheese, cheese is yummy, chocolate is yummy, too much chocolate might make you sick, being sick is not fun, having your hand bitten off would not be fun, Beren's hand was bitten off by a giant wolf-thing.


A green telephone to mushrooms to [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] to elanor to the watcher in the water.

polices 08-06-2003 02:00 PM

This will be easy.*kracks knuckles*
A telephone can sometimes be green
green is a color
purple is a color
you sometimes churn purple from eating mushrooms
This: [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] is your exspretion when you turn purple
exspresions can also be of love
woman love
elanor is a woman
the opposite of woman is man
frodo is a man
frodo went to moria
The watcher in the water lives in moria

Okay, here we go...

I is a letter, letters are written by people, people smile, on computers smiles are [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] , [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] is a smiley face, nice people smile, nice people help others, Elrond helped Frodo, Elrond is an Elf, Elves are pretty, Elves can sing, singing is in musicals, Cats is a musical, cats are also animals, animals are fluffy, you can buy colorful fluffy things in stores, purple fluffy things are in stores, stores also have chainsaws, put them all together and you get a purple fluffy chainsaw!

...That was a bit lame, but it was my first try [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] Here's one!

Calculators to manicures to Sauron

Tinuviel of Denton 08-07-2003 10:41 AM

Amarantha, you did fine. Some of the folks who made several posts only got two lines. That, my dear, is what's sad. The really long ones are from those of us (like me) who have altogether too much time on their hands. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Calculators to manicures to Sauron

My geometry teacher called calculators idiot machines, my geometry teacher had a daughter, his daughter had fingernails, manicures are what happen to fingernails, manicures are too expensive to be worth it (in my oh-so-humble opinion. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] ), expensive is NOT an option for me (I'm dirt-poor), I can only buy cheap things, the replicas of Nenya are most certainly not cheap ( [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] ), Nenya was a ring of power, the One was a ring of power, Sauron made the One.

As I said in one of my earlier posts, I'm no longer trying to get really long ones but even by beginners' standards that was sad.

Yellow boots to Belfalas to Ulmo to the One (and you may use any interpretation of 'the One' that you wish)

Yellow boots belong to Tom Bombadil.Tom lived in the Old Forest. The Old Forest is in Arnor. Arnor is one of the realms in exile. Gondor is one of the realms in exile. Belfalas is part of Gondor. Belfalas is on the coast of the Sea. Ulmo lives in the Sea. Ulmo is one of the Valar. Morgoth was also one of the Valar. Sauron was Morgoth's lieutenant. Sauron made the One Ring.

The Lonely Mountain to Meela to Ossiriand to giant slugs to the Paths of the Dead.

The lonely mountain was home of the dwarves, dwarves are short, I am short, My roots go back to India, Gandhi gave independence to India, Gandhi wore a loincloth, Gandhi would not wear British clothes, Gandhi ordered the Indians to burn British clothes, Denethor burned himself, Meela is obsessed with Denethor, Meela scares me, Spiders scare me, Shelob was a spider, Shelob had a deal with Gollum, There was a Gollum rip off in the Simpsons, The Simpsons are yellow, the sun is yellow, in Elvish the sun is called Anar, Elves speak elvish, Green Elves used to live in Ossiriand, Ossiriand was in Beleriand, Beleriand was where the Noldor came in their ships, ships can transport peole and goods across water, Ulmo controls the waters, water is wet, liquids are wet, acids can be liquid, metals + acids = salts, Sodium + Hydrochloric Acid = Sodium Hydroxide, if you put Sodium Hydroxide on giant slugs they explode, explosions are loud, loud things hurt your ears, you have two ears, your two ears are symmetrical, symmetry has lines (of symmetry), the lines are straight, Roads can be straight, Paths are small roads, The Paths of the Dead were Paths.

Gondolindhrim to Options to The Mushcone to "Secrets and Lies" to Your Worry About My Sanity.

dancing spawn of ungoliant 08-15-2004 02:19 AM

I think this is so funny thread that I'm going to refresh it, whether you like it or not :D
So here it goes:
Quote:

Gondolindhrim to Options to The Mushcone to "Secrets and Lies" to Your Worry About My Sanity
Gondolindhrim lived in Gondolin, Gondolin is a place in Arda, Arda was created through music, music is played by people, people buy cars, cars have Options, options' second last letter is "n", "n" is the second last letter in the Mushcone, the Mushcone as a word is unfamiliar to me, unfamiliar is the opposite of familiar, familiar things are known by many, things known by many aren't secret but they may be lies, Secrets and Lies (I think) is a TV program, TV programs contain lots of fighting, fighting is not healthy, helthy people might live long, living long is opposite of early death, death is a common thing among BDners, BDners can read this post by me, this post by me is all about My worry about your sanity!

Phew! That was difficult since I don't know what are Mushcones and "Secrets and Lies" and therefore it became quite lame :confused: :rolleyes:
But here's something for the next victim:

kay...let me try this...don't laugh if it's bad...
 
BD's Post Icons to Maple Syrup to Malbeth the Seer.

BD's post icons include a mug of beer, mugs are used for drinking, drinking is what you do with maple syrup, maple syrup is tasty, tasty is an adjective of 'taste', taste is one of the senses, senses are usually five in most people, some people have a sixth sense, the sixth sense means being able to predict things, predicting things is something that seers do, a well known seer is Malbeth the Seer.

Daffy Duck is, well, duck, duck is a bird, some birds live on trees, some trees are cut down by some fellers, some fellers apply axes to the process, Gimli has an ax,

Gimli has also a friend, friend is named Legolas, Legolas has a bow, bow is one of the disciplines at 2004 Olympics Games

They play tennis at 2004 Olympics too, there is a net in the middle of the tennis-court, the internet is the means I use to inform you about all of those things, another word for internet is world wide web, web is a thing spiders do, shelob is spider, her lair is full of web (so she's very modern, it seems, she has lair wide web at her disposal :rolleyes: )

Nargothrond to RPG to Headache pills to Fredegar Bolger

Mithalwen 08-16-2004 11:59 AM

Nargothrond to RPG to Headache pills to Fredegar Bolger[/QUOTE]

Let me try ...

Nargothrond was a fortress formed of caves, caves are underground chambers as are dungeons, a multi-user dungeon is a kind of rpg, my friend has a RPG in which the hero is called Anadin (honestly - despite my best efforts), Anadin is a very well known brand of headache pills (at least in the UK), another kind of headache pill is made with feverfew. Feverfew is a herb. Herbs are a particular interest and field of study of Meriadoc Brandybuck. Meriadoc Brandybuck was friend and brother-in-law of Fredegar Bolger.

If the Anadin thing is too subjective substitute RPG is an acronym as is PMT. One of the symptoms of PMT can be headache for which you take... blah blah...

Hirilorn to handbags to goldfish to Celebrian
Oh, goody!

Hírilorn was a tree, trees are cut down for industry, industry uses trees for providing cellulose, cellulose is a raw material of paper, paper is used for sketching by designers, designers design handbags, handbags aren't usually used for carrying water, water is essential for gill-breathing creatures, gill-breathing creatures are often fishes, fishes are divided into different fish species, fish species include goldfish, goldfish is a name of a company that offers financial services, financial services are in need when one wants to take a loan, a loan can be taken for a house, a house may have a garden, a garden can be full of trees, trees grow in a forest, forest in M-E were inhabited by elves, elves in Lorien obeyed Galadriel, Galadriel is the mother of Celebrian. The end.

Doom of Mandos to Herring to Wainriders to The cave of Ungoliant

Doom of Mandos to Herring to Wainriders to The cave of Ungoliant
The Doom of Mandos was proclaimed to the Noldor after the Kinslaying at Alqualonde. The Teleri were slain there; they are sea-elves. Fish live in the sea, and a herring is a type of fish. In Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Arthur was challenged to chop down the tallest tree in the forest with a herring. Trees are made of wood. So are the wagons and chariots the Wainriders would use. Their invasions were a part of Sauron's plan. Sauron lives in Mordor. Ungoliant's cave is also in Mordor.

wilwarin538 09-25-2005 01:53 PM

I'm going to try this out.

Sauron's eye is round. Pumpkin's are round(sort of). Wheels are also round. Cars have wheels. Henry Ford invented the car. Cars are a form of transportation. Bill the Pony is a form of transportation.

How'd I do? :p

Denethor burned to death. Burning happens when you come in contact with fire. Fire is a main ingrediant in camp fires. You burn marshmellows on camp fires. Marshmellows are a food. Cheese is a food. My dog likes to eat cheese. Dogs are domesticated wolves. Wolves can be wild. Horses can be wild. Horses are in Rohan. Rohan is where Edoras is. Inside Edoras is the Golden Hall. The Golden Hall has gold

Gil-Galad 09-25-2005 05:10 PM

hmmm... Hurin was in Angband for like 30 years. when your gone for 30 years people forget about you. Since people forgot about Hurin, they probaly forgot about his B-Day. Lisa Simpsons b-day was forgotten. Lisas parents Forgot to die on that giant tree that blew up. Giant trees blowing up makes Huorns upset. when Huorns get upset they go crazy all night long. Huorns needs coffee for the morning. Huorns goes to Starbucks coffee for the morning.

Daeron knew Thingol. Thingol is a Sindar. Sindar is part of the Teleri group of elves. Cirdan is a Teleri elf. Cirdan build ships. Ships can be used for Sailing. Sailing was one of the things Numenorians were great at. Some numenorians sailed to Gondor. Gondor was attacked several times by Easterlings. Easterlings weren't part of the last Alliance. Gondorians were part of the last alliance. Gondorians asked for Rohan's aid when they were attacked by Mordor. Rohan's King was Theoden. The king after Theoden was Eomer. Eomer's sister was Eowyn. Eowyn makes bad stew. Eowyn didn't learn to make her awful stew by working at McDonalds as a cook !

Rune Son of Bjarne 10-08-2005 04:56 PM

I do not care if i have made a mistake in this. . .
 
The Nandor was the first to encounter the Onodrim. Treebeard is one of the Onodrim. Treebeard drinks funny strange liquids that I have never tasted. Non-Alcoholic strawberry daiquiris is a strange liquid I have never tasted. Neither did Thingol. Thingol was king of Doriath. West of Doriath rose Amon Rûdh. On Amon Rûdh there grew Aiglos. Aiglos is a plant. You get “Old Toby”, “Longbottom Leaf” frome plants. These plants is grown in South farthing. Longbottom is in South farthing. In longbottom there is ale. Ale is something you buy. You buy Duracel batteries.

It is a bit easier this time.

The first part of Woodhall is wood. Wood is a plant. Cocaine is a plant. There used to be cocaine in Coca-Cola. Coca-Cola was the official drink of the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games. At the Olympics, there is a torch. A torch is on fire. There was fire in the clearing that Gildor took Frodo in FotR. Girldor starts with a 'g'. Golfing starts with 'g'. Golfing involves a ball. There is a ball in basketball. Yao Ming plays basketball. Yao Ming is from China. China is where Chinese food originated. Chinese food is served atChinese restaurants. Chinese restaurants often give out Fortune Cookies.

Sorry for the length. :rolleyes:

Eagles saved Bilbo and his friends. Bilbo had the one ring. Frodo had the one ring. The one ring was in Rivendell. Elrond lives in Rivendel. Elrond has a ring of power. There are only a few rings of power. A few means rare. Another word for rare could be special. There are christmas specials each year. Frosty the Snowman is usualy on a christmas special!
