The Warg and Warg Rider Appreciation Thread

[SamwiseGamgee]

Interesting indeed, Eomer. Once again you suprise and delight with your unearthing of warg related titbits. It does astound me how these fools can deride the Warg Rider so flippantly and nigh on insultingly. One has no suprise that he strung them up by their intestines and allowed crows to peck at their genitals.*
I have of late been looking through some literature of a non-Tolkien origin in an attempt to find anything in reference to wargs. My search has been fruitless, but I'm sure with a little more trying I'll find something. Must keep trying.

*-dramatisation, may not have happened.

They can be found in the deep, dark places of the world. They are hard to find, but they are worth the journey.

Yes, while on vacation a week ago, in an area where few humans live, I saw signs of wargs... I was hot on the trail for many days, giving up rest and food and drink for a chance of a chance to meet wargs... And all in vain, I might add. Just as I felt I was getting really close, the call came to pack my bags and leave the place... I will not be discouraged by this temporary setback. Better luck next year.

Do not be discouraged, Azaelia . The hunt for wargs is a long and deadly one, and few men ever succeed in their quest to find one. I, for example, once spent 14 months in a cardboard box measuring 3ft cubed in the Japanese Alps in the hope of seeing a warg. I never did, but I don't mind that, not only because I have been blessed enough to see other wargs but because it taught me a great deal: the hardships wargs must face, the nutritional value of excrement and just how many hairs grow inside my nose are but a few.

What has gone wrong? It seems years ago that I last posted on this most noble of threads. It was a mere ten days ago, and while in the past I have seen hundreds of posts leap onto a thread in this time no man has dared post on this thread in that time.
Why, oh why? Even our great leader, Eomer, so faithful in his warg knowledge, has not posted. It breaks my heart.
Wargs are everything to us subscribers to this thread. Our friends, our lovers (selected individuals) and our heroes. Surely when we have an opportunity to show our appreciation we should. Come, one and all, post with your interesting or enrapturing tales of wargs. Even if you are a newcomer and unsure, just post, or better still, ask_wargy@hotmail.com.
Brothers and sisters, I call upon you to remember one thing: wargs. Just think on all that those great beasts of legend embody and ask yourself not what wargs can do for you, but what you can do for wargs. And then post your suggestions. Ahem.

Fear not, Thread, my computer is now fixed and I shall return to my ritual of daily visits to the Downs and our beloved Thread in particular.

I think it is time for another song concerning Wargs. Be prepared for this glorious song! I experienced it live and it brought tears to the eyes. I shall post soon.

The possibility of Warg-related clothing is also a topic which should be addressed. Samwise and I intend to show our love for Wargs by purchasing custom-made clothing from an internet distributor. Would the Wargs appreciate this? I would say aye, yet I fear that the Wargs would be infuriated if we started a trend among the wannabe 'cool kids' to wear Warg fashion.

Let us hope that this power to convey our true feelings remains with the wise, and not the fashionistas, for it is well known how the Wargs despise bandwagon-jumpers.

Why, have we got to try?
Time's on our side, in these mechanical times,
Swallow the pride, of the digital minds,
If time's on our side,

How 'bout you love Wargs more,
How 'bout you love Wargs more,
How 'bout you love Wargs more,

Why, have we got to fly?
Numenoreans have lied,
Time-honoured minds,
Gil-galad's a spy,
Science collides,
Time's on our side,

How 'bout you love Wargs more,
How 'bout you love Wargs more,
How 'bout you love Wargs more,

It's all over the news, it's all over again,

Why, do we have to fight?
The Eldar have died,
Metaphysics denied,
Tar-Palantir was right,
Tomorrow's arrived,
Rebuild their designs.

How 'bout you love Wargs more?




This was a song written for those faithful to the Elves on the island of Numenor, cherishing the simple joys (specifically Wargs) which they left behind on Middle-earth. Alas! Numenor had bliss at a point, but there were no Wargs, and that left a sore feeling among the faithful, especially near the catastrophic end.
