I posted the thing about the aroused Huorns. Here is my defence.

arouse verb 1 awaken 2 stir, move (a feeling or person)

And thats a dictionary definition, so neh!

p.s. - I agree. This should be kept as a PG.

Since when do they serve tea at bars? And since when did logs learn to drink? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

How do you get the ink to stay on the sand?

strwen? is that an elf I have never heard of?

Eeee, ah, that pun was so bad it was lethal! Phantom you cad. I'm dying (of giggles). [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I'd like to take this moment to point to the subject heading, Typos (or: Is It a Freudian Slip?) to those who question the suitability of the original joke. May not be a textbook typo, but the alternate meaning could qualify as a Freudian Slip. Furthermore, it doesn't even merit a PG-13 rating, and so if you think that's too riské, you would be horrified by the Entish Bow RPG. I rest my case.

I'm sorry, but I don't know what a Freudian slip really is. I plead young age... Would this comment qualify? And what exactly does a scare look like? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I found this one in a REALLY old post

Pardon? what was that?

It's defined as "A slip of the tongue that is motivated by and reveals some unconscious aspect of the mind." In other words, when you accidentally say what's on your mind. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Or, I suppose, it could be referring to Freud's heretofore unknown habit of wearing his mother's slip, but that's debatable...

What she means is when you type something that has either two meanings, eg: aroused Huorns; or else there is a typo and the sentence means something else, eg: writing in dunes.
Therefore, chat mistakes and typos (such as the nazghul one we just had) do not qualify.

Edit: In two posts, I too shall do the wave for chronological order.

Crossbreads. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
You've gotta go and see what BW has written on the subject on the crossbreads thread.

You mean this: Funny. Crossbread [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

My sleep deprived mind finds that inordinately funny...

Hot Cross Buns,
Hot Cross Buns,
One a penny, two a penny,
Hot Cross Buns...

Are they angry for any particular reason, Diamond?

A freudian slip is when you say one thing (or type in these cases) and mean your mother.

What are you talking about? It's never too late to mine!

Here's one I picked up from the chat:

Obtuse, acute, or right? And the last time I checked, I wasn't a man. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

By the way Welcome to the Downs.

Elven maiden Earwen, that was an acceptable contribution to this thread with the substitution of angle for angel.

I would say that either spelling or typing is not one of this Downer's "strights".

Now there is something you can shout about! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

How do you name a wrath? Naming anger? [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img] [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img] [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img] [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img] [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

And what is it about bodily, pray tell?

I had the opourtunity to see a bootleg version on the Fellowship from Indonesia with subtitles (in English, oddly enough.) The entire thing was one hoot after another. Here are a select memorable few:
I've got many more!

Hahahaha! I wish I had a copy. I saw a Chinese bootleg of the Fellowship that was similar. Your post reminded me that I had asked my friend (who owns the copy) to send me a few funny lines from it:

Galadriel in the opening scene:
Saruman
Cheers!
-Angmar

Oh dear, remind me never again to eat while reading this thread!!!! There's chocolate all over my computer!

You guys have to see the Hindi version. One of my friends can fiddle with the languages on her TV, and we watched FotR in that. Here are a few memorable subtitles:

I'm not sure if they were all typos or whether they were actually saying that in Hindi because I'm not too good at the language.

Putting his horse away? Wouldn't carrying a horse around be a little heavy? And just where was he keeping it anyway?

A , dirty, wet what?

More funnies:

Someone had his own theory about Mordor:

...Made it what? [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

I didn't know he had a lead role. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I don't know - can she cook and bake?

[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]giggle [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Pyroclastic said "opourtunity."

(Hee hee hee...) All I can say is, whoops!

this is so hilarious [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I think that last 'typo' was intentional. Something from international versions of FOTR? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Still, it's quite funny.
Peace

sorry to resurect this thread, but one of my own typos was just too funny to pass up.

(I said this about Aragorn)
my,my I would have thought better of a Ranger [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Something I saw on chat
"oop!!"
Intresting

I think it's just a way of saying something to the effect of 'oops!' [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Peace

Also, dear sister, this is a thread for forum mistakes that make some sort of sense, though not what the writer originally intended, not chat mistakes. And what were you doing in the chat room anyway? You know we're not supposed to go there. *hands on hips, very big-sisterly pose*

A little more on topic, I seem to remember seeing someone post something about 'the ent' in place of 'the end'. Or maybe I'm just seeing things. (which is fairly likely anyway. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] )

Thinking of popsicles, perhaps?

Yes, popsicles are always possible. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
Peace
