Ask a stupid question
 
Well since things are a little slow(for now). I thought of a game for everyone to pass the time. This is a game where you ask a stupid LOTR related question and get a possibly stupider answer back. Okay? Here we go.....

First person: Why did Gollum where a loin cloth?

Second person: Loin cloths?! Why they are all the rage in the cave scene, of course.


I'll start you off! :D

Why didn't Sam and Frodo just get an Eagle to ride to Mordor instead of walking all of that way?

Valier 07-25-2006 11:50 PM

I'll give it a go....:p



Q: Why didn't Sam and Frodo just get an Eagle to ride to Mordor instead of walking all of that way?


A: Because someone convinced them, that walking makes you grow.


If I get this right I go on with the next question?

Why was Boromir, named Boromir?

Glirdan 07-26-2006 07:51 AM

Valier, I think it works like the "Be Careful What You Wish For..." thread. So you give a whacky answer and then give us a whacky question to give a whacky answer and so on so forth.

So here's my whacky answer! :p

Which credit cards do they accept at the Gap of Rohan ?

Naria 07-26-2006 10:53 AM

Bean, your question has got to be a little more lotr related than that. Only the answer can be that "far out" :D . I think that is what makes this game really funny and fun. It could be a question that you've always wanted to ask or just a silly question, but obviously one isn't going to get the answer that they are looking for. I probably should have named the thread "give a stupid answer" :rolleyes: ahh well.

If you don't mind Bean I'll ask another question.
