Oops I missed that ......... perhaps it is the door in the famous aria "Questa porta maledetta ......" (Maskerade)

Mithalwen · 05-19-2005, 01:24 PM

M is for Mithalwen crushed by a rickshaw (in Singapore? ....)

the guy who be short · 05-19-2005, 01:45 PM

Relaying your own death, Mith? Ah, but then again, this is The Downs... most apt.

N is for Nilpaurion Felagund, who was shot due to her slow draw...

Who will be defeated by the rhyming pattern?

The Only Real Estel · 05-19-2005, 01:57 PM

so are we rhyming with Mith's 'rickshaw' or Mith's Singapore?

O is for Orual, who snored one to many a snore.
-or-
O is for Orual, who underestimated the aim of the law.

continue rhyming with whichever one we should be continuing with

W is for Witchqueen, a hit by the mafia 'cause she was poor.
(she couldn't pay up)

the guy who be short · 05-20-2005, 05:21 AM

V is for Vanwalossien, mobbed by the fans for being unable to score.

A thought: perhaps we should make these deaths more Tolkien-related?

Holbytlass · 05-20-2005, 07:19 AM

At the top of the page is a spot called Members List, between FAQ and calendar. Click on that, then choose the letter you are working on. Every letter including Q and X has members. This place is great because one does not have to think of names and everyone might have a fair shot of seeing their own fun deaths.
You're right, guy who be short, it should be Tolkien related as possible, but it is fun trying to keep the 'or' rhyme going.

'Y' is for Yavanna who was eaten by Meneldor.
(one of the eagles)

Holbytlass · 05-20-2005, 10:19 AM

I was mopping the kitchen when it dawned on me that I didn't follow my own advice. 'X' is after 'W', not 'Y' (sorry, guy who be short, I think you forgot the ABC order part, too).

X is for Xphial who got poisoned from the fruit of the trees of Valinor.
