A lower-class couple won an all-expenses-paid trip to the Two Towers premiere in New York through a sweepstakes.

Limo? Us?

Súlimo

The mountain man could not be seen, for he was:

I'm not sure...
Led One?
No idea...clue, maybe, possibly? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

Diamond18 · 12-05-2002, 12:00 PM

I think it's Loëndë.

Someone doesn't like Little Nell...

Die, Nell!

Honestly, is it really that difficult? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] It is a character in LotR. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Diamond18 · 12-14-2002, 11:22 AM

Uh.....Legolas Greenleaf?

LePetitChoux · 12-14-2002, 03:05 PM

Yep! Your turn!

Ooh, makes me hungry!

But no, I was thinking more of a geographical location . . .

LePetitChoux · 12-26-2002, 05:47 AM

elvenesse?

I've never heard of it, but it seems like a place name... [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

piosenniel · 12-26-2002, 01:29 PM

Elvenesse, it is! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

A collective term which seems to refer to all the lands of the Elves, both west and east of the Great Sea.

Your turn!

LePetitChoux · 12-26-2002, 05:05 PM

Just as a random trivia fact, BK is an acronym for Burger King. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Erkenbrand

How fast should you run when you see one:

Like mad, Wirm!

LePetitChoux · 12-27-2002, 06:54 AM

Your "title" gave it away, it's Dwimmerlaik!

OK, the K doesn't give a lot of choice....

piosenniel · 12-27-2002, 11:54 PM

Kibil-Nâla - the springs of the Silverlode!

A fish with sharp teeth -

A Paronna!

LePetitChoux · 12-28-2002, 04:56 AM

I haven't got a clue! I've been workig at it for ages, and I still don't know! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
Is it animal, vegetable or mineral? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

piosenniel · 12-28-2002, 05:43 AM

It is an Elven word (Quenyan) - refers to Men.

LePetitChoux · 12-28-2002, 02:45 PM

No idea...I don't speak Quenian... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

piosenniel · 12-28-2002, 02:54 PM

Sorry - it is from the Silmarillion.

Apanónar - (after-born) the name given to Men by the Eldar.

LePetitChoux · 01-04-2003, 05:27 AM

Unless my calculation is incorrect, I make it a week since the last post. Yay! I claim the turn to be mine
an asleep watch:

but that doesn't begin with r, so here is another: (you can do either)
a source of light which you don't come across very often:
the rair candle

[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

tom bombariffic · 01-09-2003, 10:08 AM

how about a clue?

LePetitChoux · 01-09-2003, 01:13 PM

Well, the answer to the first one appeared in the Hobbit, and was disliked by many.

The second may be found in Gondor. It is a place name.

LePetitChoux · 01-11-2003, 06:53 AM

For Goodness' Sake, people! Where is your sense of sportsman(or woman)ship? It isn't all that hard!

C'mon, guess!

Another clue: The first one is a weapon, and the second is in Minas Tirith.
[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Rimbaud · 01-17-2003, 01:28 PM

The relevant answer is Rath Celerdain.

When the lady becomes overly strident, a gentle comment may quieten her:

The rant, Ann...

I have puzzled over this new puzzlery, and would like to request a clue. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Rimbaud · 01-26-2003, 05:51 PM

Think Toad in Toad Hall.

Rimbaud · 01-27-2003, 08:55 AM

Another clue: a popular Indian bread.

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 01-27-2003, 09:40 AM

It's Nan-tathren, the Land of Willows, my old beansprout.

[ January 27, 2003: Message edited by: Squatter of Amon Rudh ]

Rimbaud · 01-27-2003, 09:46 AM

That's the one, Squatter, my delightful Jaffa-Cake of a friend.

Please do go right on ahead with an anagram of your own.

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 01-27-2003, 10:35 AM

Very well, my old fig roll,

Go North. Darn

Rimbaud · 01-27-2003, 11:53 AM

Nargothrond, old apple turnover of linguistic fortitude.

I'll warn you, this piscine mafia have horrific tactics:

Peeing Cod Mob.

Envinyatar · 01-27-2003, 02:57 PM

Have room for another player?

Deeping Coomb, I think the answer is.

Try this:

The lights were out, we grabbed the swag unnoticed:

Sef'n Grand! Boo coo!!

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 01-29-2003, 10:55 AM

Would that be "Beacons of Gondor", by any chance?

What? Crooks bred of 'em?

Envinyatar · 01-29-2003, 08:58 PM

A Shire classic: The Red Book of Westmarch

Sorry! Can't pay up!

Fresh out 'n' I. O. U.

Rimbaud · 01-30-2003, 10:21 PM

Ah, a sneaky one, Envinyatar. I was looking for Húrin. House of Túrin, though, I believe is it.
