What kind of movies do the members of the Fellowship like to watch? (Die Hard, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, just to name a few for you) Actually, Die Hard is my fave movie, after LotR, of course.

What do Elves eat for breakfast?

Lothiriel Silmarien · 05-27-2002, 11:30 AM

Elves diet on cat tails. They like 'em burnt to a crisp also.

Who was Aragorn's companion while he was a ranger? Or did he wander alone. (Name why he wandered alone if that is your choice.)

Daniel Telcontar · 05-27-2002, 11:43 AM

Aragorn wandered alone like any real ranger. The secret behind this is that they have great hairgrowth and don't want anyone to see them when they shave.

Why does Boromir come from?

piosenniel · 05-27-2002, 12:10 PM

Boromir came from the void. He really was Melkor in disguise.

If Sam could swim, what would be his favorite stroke?

Daniel Telcontar · 05-27-2002, 12:12 PM

Butterfly, because he likes to fly with American Airways and because he eats so much butter.

Where did the Fellowship really go?

Nevtalathiel · 05-27-2002, 12:16 PM

Aragorn used his shield as a sled, bith on Caradrhas and to go down the falls of the Rauros. It was so fun, he didn't want to risk breaking his shield in a fight.

What was special about Boromir's shield?

Nevtalathiel · 05-27-2002, 12:18 PM

Aaah, foiled!

They went to Macdonalds, where the happy-meal toy was FOTR action figures.

The Green Dragon - it was known for accomodating large parties.

The real names of the Valar are:
Pinky, Dorry, Bwishka, Viggo Mortenstern, Heiniken, Calamari, The Real Slim Shady (not the fake one), Meow Man, Shmorgulsborg, Liberaci, Calahan, Billy Boyd, Scotch, and Nessie (also known as Lochy by some people)

Amon Hen is a resort for the dead. When they die, they go there and hang out with all the other dead, smelly, rotten people.

Nevfeniel, I know it sounds mean, but I was staring at my cat when I read that question so.....don't get me wrong I love my kitty though!!

Hobbits name their children after flowers and such because they think that that's how they'll get their kids to smell nice and pretty.

Why do some elves live in forests?

Nevfeniel · 05-27-2002, 07:33 PM

It's okay, Lothiriel. It's not that mean, in fact, it kinda made me laugh.
Anyways, some elves lived in forests because they were too cheap to get a house or apartment.
this might have been asked before, but what happened to the ring on Mt. Doom?

Susan Delgado · 05-27-2002, 10:06 PM

Having a little trouble with toes here, weren't we? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Being psychic, the ring knew why they were all going to Mt Doom, and when Frodo got to the brink, it was doing its best to convince him not to throw it in (since it didn't want to die) and it would have succeeded until it espied Gollum coming up behind Frodo. At that point, it figured if it did nothing it was doomed (um...no pun intended), so it unfurled its wings and flew away. It was never seen again by anyone in Middle Earth, but I happen to know it "lived happily ever after to the end of its days"

How many times did Frodo wear the ring and what happened each time he did? (stick to the movie for this one please)

Lothiriel Silmarien · 05-28-2002, 02:16 PM

I'll try to stick to the movie. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Frodo wore the ring 3 times.
The first time he was at the Prancing Pony. He put the ring on and Aragorn liked his dance so much, he went to go congratulate him but he couldn't find him. He went back to the room to go cry, but he found Frodo there. That's also why Aragorn became their companion.

The second time was on Weathertop when Frodo saw the Nazguls. He wanted to surprise them, but failed to do so. He ended up with chipping a nail and was very unsatisfied. He cried.

The third time was when Frodo was on Amon Hen. He put the ring on while playing a game with Boromir. They were playing hide and seek, and well, Boromir got TOO into the game you could say, it was his turn to get Frodo,and Frodo doesn't row his boat that way, so Frodo got scared and dove into the water which forced him to wash up on the other side. Sam was there waiting for him because of his pshycic powers, he was able to know that that would happen to Frodo.

(I purposely know that he put the ring on more times though. I hoped I stuck to the book, I tried. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] )

*Aside to Gimli: Have you been studying the Communist takeover of Russia by any chance? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Boromir attended the Council of Elrond because of the cool freebies that the Elves were giving out. He got a pen and pencil from Lothlórien National Bank, free Lemba samples, and watched a miruvor tasting demonstration.

What are the Hobbits' favorite pasttimes?

Lothiriel Silmarien · 05-29-2002, 04:43 PM

Ahh, tis a very nice chance that I got to answer this one. If someone doesn't before me! Hmmmm, ok let's see. Hobbits are delightful creatures, taking pleasure in hunting games, such as find-the-lost-arm-of-the-hobbit-that-you-"accidently"-sliced-off-with-a-razor-sharp-implement-of-destruction. They love that one. And sometimes they find more than an arm! And they also love getting drunk and throwing fits. Sometimes they just may wake up and find their friend or relative lying dead next to them. Hey they can't help it when their drunk! And there's a big population of hobbits anyway, they have lots of kids. Like take Sam Gamgee for example.....

Why did Faramir marry Eowyn?

Gimli Son Of Gloin · 05-29-2002, 06:37 PM

Because Faramir really was Lenin in disguise and his wife wasn't really his wife, but a man that escaped from prison and had a very sizable sum of money hidden away and since Lenin got him out of jail he financed Faramir's nuclear missle project.

Aosama, the Wandering Star · 05-29-2002, 07:36 PM

Ronald McDonald created the Ents as attractions at his McFunWorld. Unfortunately for Ronnie, the Ents rebelled against his leadership because he forced them to entertain the kiddies by threatening to take away their hair curlers and nail polish. The terrified Ents managed to escape with the help of a certain Minillium Dresspeter, but he was more controlling than Ronnie, making the Ents work in his circus to 'pay off' their debt that they incurred when he rescued them. The Ents escaped from him, too, and are now living on reserves in Middle-Earth. The reserves are much too small, but they console themselves by saying that it is better than waking up to the smell of BigMacs.

Question: Does Frodo eat the red ones last? (Ever heard of Smarties?)

And yes, I am studying the French revolution in history. How did you guess?

Thinhyandoiel · 05-29-2002, 08:48 PM

No. Frodo always ate the yellow ones last cuz they reminded him of a certain golden trinket he used to carry around with him. He'd carry the yellow smarties around instead, but they always melted in his pocket, so he ended up eating them anyways.

Why was Sam so fond of Bill the pony?

The Half-Hobbit · 05-29-2002, 09:39 PM

Sam was fond of Bill because Bill gave great massages. It's not commonly known, but Bill was a crossbreed pony: his sire was a Welsh mountain pony and his dam was a chiropracter. Bill's uncanny ability to relieve muscle tension and increase energy flow through the chakra points made him very dear to Sam and the rest of the fellowship. they were very sad to leave him at the entrance to Moria, but the tentacle-monster was willing to double Bill's salary, and that was an offer Bill could not refuse.

Who fought the Balrog, and what happened during and after the battle?

Susan Delgado · 05-29-2002, 09:57 PM

The Moria goblins fought the Balrog because they were tired of being dicated to by someone who doesn't even have a real body for crying out loud! The Fellowship all thought the goblins were shooting at them, but they were actually shooting at the Balrog and were simply very bad shots. After the Fellowship got across the bridge, someone finally managed to land a hit, breaking one of the Balrog's fingernails. It had just had a manicure, so this made it angry, but it was still willing to let the goblins go until another arrow landed in its hair and stuck there. The Balrog was ridiculously proud of its "do" and having an arrow sticking out of it was simply the last straw. It found and slaughtered every goblin in the place. After that was finished, it looked around for the nassty creatures that had woken it up originally, but they had all managed to escape. The Balrog was very disappointed, but all it could do was shrug and go back to sleep.
--------------------------------------------
Why did the Balrog attack the Fellowship?

[ May 30, 2002: Message edited by: Susan Delgado ]

Aosama, the Wandering Star · 05-29-2002, 10:02 PM

The Balrog was an avid doll collector. It saw the Hobbits, thought they were dolls, and instantly wanted them. The hobbits were very annoyed by this, and kept insisting, "I'm NOT a doll! I'm a hobbit, thank you, and I don't take kindly to being dressed up and going on 'dates' with a plastic man named Ken!"

The first time he was at the Prancing Pony. He put the ring on and Aragorn liked his dance so much, he went to go congratulate him but he couldn't find him. He went back to the room to go cry, but he found Frodo there. That's also why Aragorn became their companion. The second time was on Weathertop when Frodo saw the Nazguls. He wanted to surprise them, but failed to do so. He ended up with chipping a nail and was very unsatisfied. He cried. The third time was when Frodo was on Amon Hen. He put the ring on while playing a game with Boromir. They were playing hide and seek, and well, Boromir got TOO into the game you could say, it was his turn to get Frodo,and Frodo doesn't row his boat that way, so Frodo got scared and dove into the water which forced him to wash up on the other side. Sam was there waiting for him because of his pshycic powers, he was able to know that that would happen to Frodo. (I purposely know that he put the ring on more times though. I hoped I stuck to the book, I tried.

He was a noble and peace loving king and brought much prosperity to Gondor and it's allies. He ruled for 3 ages. --------- Why did Boromir attend the council of Elrond? __________________ IN STEEL I TRUST, BY CROM!

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Boromir attended the Council of Elrond because of the cool freebies that the Elves were giving out. He got a pen and pencil from Lothlórien National Bank, free Lemba samples, and watched a miruvor tasting demonstration. ----- What are the Hobbits' favorite pasttimes? __________________ Soli Deo Gloria*

Hmmmm, ok let's see. Hobbits are delightful creatures, taking pleasure in hunting games, such as find-the-lost-arm-of-the-hobbit-that-you-"accidently"-sliced-off-with-a-razor-sharp-implement-of-destruction. They love that one. And sometimes they find more than an arm! And they also love getting drunk and throwing fits. Sometimes they just may wake up and find their friend or relative lying dead next to them. Hey they can't help it when their drunk! And there's a big population of hobbits anyway, they have lots of kids. Like take Sam Gamgee for example.....

Unfortunately for Ronnie, the Ents rebelled against his leadership because he forced them to entertain the kiddies by threatening to take away their hair curlers and nail polish. The terrified Ents managed to escape with the help of a certain Minillium Dresspeter, but he was more controlling than Ronnie, making the Ents work in his circus to 'pay off' their debt that they incurred when he rescued them. The Ents escaped from him, too, and are now living on reserves in Middle-Earth. The reserves are much too small, but they console themselves by saying that it is better than waking up to the smell of BigMacs. Question: Does Frodo eat the red ones last? (Ever heard of Smarties?) And yes, I am studying the French revolution in history. How did you guess?

He'd carry the yellow smarties around instead, but they always melted in his pocket, so he ended up eating them anyways. ----------- Why was Sam so fond of Bill the pony? __________________ In gwidh ristennen, i fae narchannen I lach Anor ed ardhon gwannen Caled veleg, ethuiannen

It's not commonly known, but Bill was a crossbreed pony: his sire was a Welsh mountain pony and his dam was a chiropracter. Bill's uncanny ability to relieve muscle tension and increase energy flow through the chakra points made him very dear to Sam and the rest of the fellowship. they were very sad to leave him at the entrance to Moria, but the tentacle-monster was willing to double Bill's salary, and that was an offer Bill could not refuse.

The Fellowship all thought the goblins were shooting at them, but they were actually shooting at the Balrog and were simply very bad shots. After the Fellowship got across the bridge, someone finally managed to land a hit, breaking one of the Balrog's fingernails. It had just had a manicure, so this made it angry, but it was still willing to let the goblins go until another arrow landed in its hair and stuck there. The Balrog was ridiculously proud of its "do" and having an arrow sticking out of it was simply the last straw. It found and slaughtered every goblin in the place. After that was finished, it looked around for the nassty creatures that had woken it up originally, but they had all managed to escape. The Balrog was very disappointed, but all it could do was shrug and go back to sleep. -------------------------------------------- Why did the Balrog attack the Fellowship?

The hobbits were very annoyed by this, and kept insisting, "I'm NOT a doll! I'm a hobbit, thank you, and I don't take kindly to being dressed up and going on 'dates' with a plastic man named Ken!"
