Many magic rings... with strange powers!
 

Remember this line:
(I'll admit, it's a movie quote.)

Well, what strange powers would these other magic rings have? And so that this doesnt become a list thread and something for BW to take his anger out on, instead of just writing it, add it into a scene.
E.g:

Gandalf: There are many magic rings in this world, and none of them should be used lightly. Oh, except this one.
(produces a ring)
Bilbo: Oooh... what does it do?
Gandalf (handing him the ring): Try it on and find out.
Bilbo: Thanks. (Puts on ring and promptly turns into a frog)
(Gandalf rolls on the floor, laughing his beard off)
Bilbo (froggy voice): haha, very funny.

Ok, im sure you peole can think of better ones. And two things: 1) i dont think the BW would appreciate rings that... er... control certain bodily functions. 2) Please read what other people have put first, because i really hate it when people repeat stuff already said.

Let us begin!

I can imagine Pippin trading Frodo's Ring for another one....

Warning: Movie Scene
Frodo falls in the Prancing Pony, the ring is tossed up in the air, and falls directly of Frodo's finger, and it suddenly appears that Frodo's clothes have vanished.

Ring Power: Makes wearer appear naked.

Oh, Lindril, that is funny! But I'm afraid that would make the movie an 18s. lol.

Gandalf: You cannot pass!
Balrog: Oh, and how are you gonna stop me?
Gandalf: I'll give you a ring if you don't pass.
Balrog: Ooh, what type of ring?
Gandalf: A magic one. Here. (holds out a ring)
Balrog: Gee, thanks. Along you go.
Gandalf (whispers to fellowship) Hurry up. That Balrog's gonna spontaneously combust in approximately 5 minutes.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
Gandalf: Thats one more Maia down. Soon I shall be the most powerful of them all!

Booyah! That was a sweet one, theguywhobeshort. You know, your name is very hard to work into a sentence directed to you. Anyhow...
Oh jeez. I can't think of anything right now. I'll edit my post and put one in later.

Hmm, the power to control animals.
*The Scene on the Misty Mountains*
Frodo looks around and sees that his ring is gone.
Suddenly a stampede of animals rages past the Mountain slope. A extremely old man runs behind them.
Frodo: Who are you?
Strange man: I'm Noah, thanks for the magic ring, it really helps. WATCH OUT FOR MAJOR RAIN MAN!
Then Noah thrusts the ring into Frodo's hand and chases after the animals.

Yikes, this is what happens when I stay up late....

I think Sauron should have created the One Ring as having a teleport type thing built in so he could take on the body of the wearer/bearer. And no, I am *not*, I repeat NOT, a Matrix fan. I only just realised the similarity after thinking of the concept.

So, Bilbo slips on the ring at his party, and runs to Bag End. He gets inside and takes the ring off. Gandalf is waiting around the corner, and he steps round to talk to Bilbo, and suddenly sees Sauron instead, who has taken over Bilbo's body. Pretty nifty, huh? If I made a ring, I would want it to be like that.

Actually, the Matrix thing isn't a bad idea.

Frodo slips on the ring and dodges the Witch King's sword. He then proceeds to kick the *ahem* snot out of him. Aragorn stands on the sidelines, holding two torches, with his jaw hanging open in shock. The other hobbits stand by and form a cheering squad.

Ring Power: Ability to slow down time/ be quicker than everyone else.

Lindril (you move just like they do!) Arvilya

Matrix... *sigh*

A red ring and a blue ring... if you put on the red ring, you appear in a different world. If you put on the blue ring, you suddenly wake up in bed at home, no matter where you were before...

Isildur puts on the Ring during the ambush. Instead of becoming invisible, he jumps to his feet and begins belting out "Come What May" from Moulin Rouge!, making all the orcs fall to the ground screaming in agony. Finally, one or two shoot him and he dies.

Ha ha!!! That is a brilliant thought!! God, I'm going to copy that out and stick it on my wall so I can remember it forever!

Ring Power: Makes wearer think he's on American Idol(TM).

Lindril (stop the madness!) Arvilya

Hmmm... a ring that could, if you put it on, just completely destroy the dark lord. And Frodo has it.

Gandalf: You must go to Mordor to destroy the ring.
Frodo: But Gandalf-
Gandalf: We have no time. Hurry! Go!
Frodo: But it'd be easier
Gandalf: Gob!
Frodo: SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO ME.
Gandalf (shocked): What inspired that outburst.
Frodo: Look, see this ring? I put it on, the dark tower crumbles, Sauron dies. Got it? It's just that easy.
Gandalf: Oh.

Okay, that wasnt that funny. Never mind.

How about a ring that when you caress it (I'm thinking Gollum here) switches bodies with you! So whatever was last caressing the ring... er... Isildur takes over Gollums body when Golum gets it and then Gollum gets stuck in Frodo's body and...

PFC, you lost me there... but an interesting thought anyway [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

A ring which turns you into an Agent when you put it on...

Frodo, in Bree: *ring flies up, falls onto his finger, he suddenly stands up, points at Merry* Ah. Mr. Andersen. We meet again.

~Menelien

LOL!!!! THAT was good!

Thank you http://www.cavola.co.uk/forums/html/emoticons/cool.gif

How about the Ring that sends you into another movie... (Matrix for me, sorry guys)

Frodo (on Weathertop): *puts on ring, appears in the Matrix program as wraiths turn into agents*

Agent Smith: Give ussss the Ring...

Frodo: Who the...

Yes, my creativity is running out. Sorry...

~Menelien

I find that hugely funny. How 'bout a ring that makes Orks cry and Ringwraiths laugh?
Woah, that's a strange thought.

Frodo is on Weather Top. Suddenly he finds himself surrounded by Ring Wraiths. He puts the Ring on.
Wraith #1: *hissing* Give the ring or..he he, STOP IT! STOP IT NOW! YOUR TICKILING ME!
Wraith #2: What's wrong with you?
(Wraith "floats" within laughing distance)
Wraith #2: Ah! Why am I laughing? You'll pay halfling!
Pretty soon, all the Ring Wraiths are rolling on the ground "screaming" with laughter. Frodo is accidently stabbed by a Wraith that lost control of his blade.

Morai, you scare me with your incredibly unique and humourous ideas.

Ring power: Makes elves fall madly in love with you.

Dirty, smelly ranger (aka Aragorn): Will you go out with me?
Beautiful elf (aka Arwen): Ew, get away, disgusting mortal thingy.
Aragorn (puts on ring): Are you sure?
Arwen: Come here Shnookums.

And now you know how it happened. Of course, Aragorn might have had a problem with Elrond... and Elrohir... and Elladan, Glorfindel and all the other elves. Poor him.

Why, thanks for the compliment. Your post made me burst forth with laughter. I think I scare myself sometimes....

You got it, ri garra. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

The Bombadil Ring

Boromir is demanding the Ring from Frodo. Frodo slips the ring on and becomes a pair of yellow boots.

Boromir: "... What?! How on Middle-Earth are we supposed to beat Sauron with a pair of--"

He pauses, grins widely, grabs up the boots and runs to Mordor, climbs over the Black Gate and gets inside the tower. Inside, he puts the boots on and proceeds to kick Sauron around.

Boromir: "This is more fun than--"*PUNT*"--slaughtering orcs!"

Hmm...all interesting and funny thus far...but try this one:

Frodo, Aragorn, and the hobbits are on Weather Top, surrounded by the wraiths. As a wraith reaches for his dagger, Frodo slips on the ring.

*POOF!*

All of Weather Top is transformed into a Disco dance floor, with the moon converting into a disco ball. The wraiths are in black, torn bell-bottoms with large "bling-bling" necklaces of darkness. Frodo's curly hair bursts forth into an afro and his large feet produce large platform shoes. All of the party, good and evil, break into a Saturday Night Fever sequence and the movie ends because of its stupidity.

But not before the dance contest! Gandalf and Aragorn go at it for awhile until... the Disco King (aka Boromir) arrived! Do the wave!

Ok that was stupid, gonna hide in my corner now.

I really liked them all! I will think of one... soon!
