In Memoriam - Quote Graveyard

[Ainaserkewen]

No one can hear you now, only me, only the one who will feast on your living, bleeding soul until the red rider relieves the One of his head to feed upon what is inside. I smile on the day of this trollop's understanding, because it will never come.

I think I'll get rid of this one...
It was a paragraph of a story I wrote about someone with a weird kind of bipolar disorder. The evilness inside his head ended up being very dark and poetic.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

1. The Ents were seen in Dunland, looking for: a. Saruman and his secret stash of Longbottom Leaf; b. Entwives; c. Taters; d. Legolas and Gimli. They haven't paid the entrance fee.
   
   
2. Much Elven-blood can be found in: a. Helm's Deep (?); b. The Prince of Dol Amroth; c. The Lórien Blood Bank; d. Alqualondë (ooh, harsh!).
   
   
3. At the end of the Third Age the Dúnedain population of Arnor: a. were all dead; b. were rebuilding...what was the name again? It's been so long; c. wait. Didn't Hal take all of them?; d. can breathe easier, with Aragorn gone and all.
   
   
4. The Company abandoned the passage of Caradhras because: a. Frodo lost the Ring in Hollin; b. winter there is bad for Hobbits; c. Gimli stepped on a hole and fell to Moria; d. Leggy forgot his shoes.
   
   
5. The curse on Húrin's Children was caused by: a. a loophole in the free will clause; b. Túrin, the angry man with a talking sword; c. Morgoth (yeah right!); d. stupid staring contests.

(NOTE: Questions 3 and 4 are the complete version. I had to chop a word or seven to make them fit in.)

My personal favourite was question 5 (on account of "stupid staring contests"), although it looks like a lot more liked question 2: Vy ze vay, thanks, Ms. Esty, Ms. Helen, Ms. Evisse, Ms. Nuranar, Ms. Ainaserkewen and NK for the appreciation!

My current sig (the line above I intend to . . . ) is a quote from Tom Clancy's Op-Center: Mirror Image, although it sounds eerily like something from Tolkien.

Oh, I almost forgot: whoever can give me the correct answer to all questions above gets a true-to-life stuffed Balrog. With wings and not!

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Well Nilpaurion, it's a little known secret among teachers that the answer to every multiple choice question is b.

And to what scale is this stuffed Balrog? Would it fit in a Christmas stocking?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

So it is! All b.

Re stuffed Balrog: It really is a Balrog, albeit one stuffed with goose feathers. So sorry, Eomer, it wouldn't fit in any mortal stocking--although Morgoth's would do.

There are two versions of this novelty item: the winged one (the one that fell in Khazad-dûm), and the un-winged one (the one that fell in Cirith Thoronath). Which one shall it be?

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Hmm, so some Balrogs had wings eh? Sounds like a good debate...

I'll have whichever. It's not wings that I love about Balrogs, it's their cute faces.

[Gil-Galad]

Don't forget the great gifts they give yo uat christmas, thanks ot them i've completed my flaming dwarf head collection

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

...if you can fix me up girl, you'll go a long way...


A lyric from a song called Obstacle 2 by my favourite band Interpol. It is not too often you come across a popular band this epic. My only apology is that this particular lyric can in no way be linked to Middle-earth!
