Eärwen had been backstage though most of the Award Show waiting to present her award. Finally it was her turn. She walked out onto the stage smiling and waving.
“Hello Barrow-Downs!!” Eärwen called into the mic.
“Hello!” Many of the audience members called back.
“ As you know the Quiz room is a favorite room for many of the Barrow-downers. They love the fun game you can play that always keeps those brain juices flowing. Whether it’s cryptic, a riddle, or just a question, Barrow-downers have much fun guessing the answer and then posting a riddle in return.” Eärwen said as she launched into her speech.
“But of all these games, one of them stands out from all the rest. Its one of the longest threads in the quiz room, and Middle-Earth’s only game show. It’s one of my favorite games but somehow I always manage to guess the letters, and then find the quote right after someone got it.” Eärwen said as she heard a few laughs and snickers from the audience.
“Of course I’m talking about the Palantir of Fortune!!. But there is one woman who always has a good quote for us to guess and her knowledge of Tolkien is shown in this thread. So with out further ado I would like to present the award for The Barrow Downs Post Design Award’, in the ‘Slash and Dash’ category for the best use non-letter posts in the Quiz Room – Palantir of Death section” Eärwen continued. Cue drum roll.
“to the Gilraën a woman of great talent. Congats to you!” Eärwen called after a long pause.
“Gilraën, Gilraën, Gilraën!!!” the crowd cheered.
Eärwen hoped off the stage smiling as a song came on. To the Tune of “Basketball” by Lil’ Bow Wow, rewritten by Eärwen, now entitled “Palantir of Fortune”
[Chorus]
There playing Palantir
Palantir of Fortune
There playing Palantir
Palantir of Fortune
Yo Palantir of Fortune is my favorite game
I love the way you guess the letters- it’s insane
We keep it so fresh on the forum
I like no interruption when the game is on
I like guessing quotes that take me to the book
My favorite game is this one O’
I like the slash
I like the dash
And its Palantir of Fortune lets go
[Chorus]
I got the keyboard in my hands
There ain’t no tellin what I’m gonna do wit it
When I find the quote I’m gonna have to post it
I might mess up but that’s ok
Turn around and hit you wit the right one right away
I throwin down letters like there’s no end
Taking guesses so fast O”
And I’m keeping you on your feat- O’ yeah
When I’m in the game I play wit style
I’m like so good cuz I can get the quote and beat you in a mile
[Chorus]
