Why did the chicken cross the road?

Movie Aragorn: Because he was tracking a band of Uruk-hai westward across the plains.

Tom Bombadil: Because I told him to, derry dol.

Movie Arwen: Because he wanted Frodo, and had to come and claim him.

Gandalf: Because he was meant to cross the road.

Thorin: Because he must away ere break of day.

Boromir: Because he had a riddle that needed answering. He dreamed that a giant wave engulfed his chiken coop, and a voice clucked, "Seek for the egg that was broken, across the road it lies."

Arwen: Because there is now no ship that will carry him hence.

Movie Elrond: He is dying- the chicken is dying. His life-force is tied to the road.

Gimli-- A chicken will go underground and a dwarf dare not?

Denethor: Chicken! Abandon your post and flee for your life!

LOL!!

Bilbo:Because he didn't know half of us half as well as he would've liked, and he liked less than half of us half as well as we deserved!

Gandalf:Because he was a fool of a chick!

Galadriel:Even the wisest cannot tell; for a chicken does many things.

Peace,

*faints from laughing too much*

Gimli: Well then, he was wasted on crossing roads. Those chickens are natural born sprinters!

Legolas: He has gone to fetch the sun. (hmm, i forget the actual quote, close enough)

Nazgul: Foolish chicken! He can cross the road, but we will never stop hunting him.

Firefoot · 03-27-2004, 01:11 PM

These are great!

Nazgûl: The Ring draws it.

Ghân-buri-Ghân: He went to drive away bad air with bright iron beak.

Barliman Butterbur: Chickens? Now what does that remind me of?

Bilbo: It's a dangerous business for chickens to be crossing roads.

Ok, why did the chicken cross the road? (something from RotK movie)

Aragorn: What does your heart tell you?
Sméagol: Up, up, up, up, up the stairs the chicken goes, until he comes to...the tunnel.
Merry: I don't know... I don't know what's going to happen.

Elrond: I looked into the chicken's future and I saw death.
Arwen: But there is also life. You saw there was a chicken! You saw my chicken!

Gandalf: The board is set. The pieces are moving.
Aragorn: Gondor calls for aid!
Théoden: I told Gamling to make haste across the Riddermark and summon every able-bodied chicken to Dunharrow.

Aragorn: Where now are the horse and the chicken?

Movie Frodo: What are we holding on to, Sam?
Movie Sam: That there's some chicken in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for!

Aragorn: If it was known that chickens could cross roads, all the hunters in Middle-earth would be riding to the hen house.

Frodo: Because it knew that if it touched me again, it should be cast itself into the Grill of Doom!
