it was no arachnid that got Tom Pickthorn.

piosenniel · 02-08-2005, 02:49 AM

That's the very one!

Your turn!

~*~ Pio

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 02-08-2005, 02:56 AM

A green shift'r

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-08-2005, 09:01 PM

Night-fearers.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 02-08-2005, 10:01 PM

It does indeed.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-08-2005, 10:30 PM

While out hunting, Saucie said to Fordim:

Hi, trip th' stag!

(If you're reading this, Sauce, don't zap me to the void!)

Eruanna · 02-10-2005, 12:07 PM

Hmm...if that second i were an a then I would say that Saucie and Fordim were on the Straight Path.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-10-2005, 07:26 PM

Hope they don't get lost. Or acrophobic.

Your turn!

Eruanna · 02-11-2005, 11:48 AM

Scarier than The Barrow Downs?

He Haunted Hell

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 02-11-2005, 12:50 PM

The lady's grave, Haudh-en-elleth

Eruanna · 02-11-2005, 02:29 PM

The grave of Finduilas it is

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 02-11-2005, 11:28 PM

"Back churl of 'n ol' land!!"

Eruanna · 02-12-2005, 02:51 PM

Would that be the old Horn-Call of Buckland?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 02-12-2005, 10:23 PM

That's the one. Take it away, Eruanna!

Sophe

Eruanna · 02-13-2005, 04:40 PM

Thank you

As Elrond said to Aragorn, "Arwen is waiting...So Run and see 'r."

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-13-2005, 07:44 PM

Or written in Daeron's Runes?

Eruanna · 02-14-2005, 11:32 AM

Yes, a love letter would have been most appropriate on this day especially

Please proceed!

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-14-2005, 10:21 PM

The incomparable H-I made a new marvel: sleeping pretzels. Thus, the headline on today's paper:

H's drowsy knots' fame.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-21-2005, 09:43 PM

Anyone? Anybody at all?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 02-22-2005, 02:40 AM

I got nothing.

Even pulled a Pio and got out the scrabble board.

NightKnight · 02-22-2005, 05:13 PM

Then they can't have seen the Swordsman of the sky!

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-24-2005, 01:14 AM

Good job, NK!

NightKnight · 02-24-2005, 01:47 AM

It's not easy growing up as a young, ugly pirate:

O, few call ye!

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-24-2005, 01:53 AM

Especially if the Yellow Face sees you.

NightKnight · 02-24-2005, 02:08 AM

Of course! Another reason to stay inside with the computer.

Take it away!

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-24-2005, 02:36 AM

Have you seen Roac in the brier? It's quite good, although ravens clad in pink are not so socially acceptable in other planets.

piosenniel · 02-24-2005, 04:10 AM

Ereborian Cirth . . .

~*~ Pio

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-26-2005, 10:08 PM

Your thread.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-03-2005, 12:18 AM

Ms. Pio?

piosenniel · 03-03-2005, 01:44 AM

After the movie Mûmakil ran amok on the Pelennor, the fields looked rather trashee.

NightKnight · 03-06-2005, 06:07 PM

Her seat? That's the best I can come up with... A clue, perhaps?

piosenniel · 03-06-2005, 08:17 PM

This is a fairly obscure reference to the northern shore of Aman - the Far Shore.

Here lies Mournië at Hanstovanen . . .

Try this!

~*~ Pio

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-07-2005, 01:36 AM

Haerast has two A's, but only one E.

piosenniel · 03-07-2005, 11:10 AM

My apologies . . . and please continue on . . .

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-08-2005, 01:35 AM

It happens to the best of us.

The fashion sense of mortals are weird. Just yesterday I saw someone wearing

Argent slack.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-17-2005, 05:22 AM

Wrong letters.

It should have been:

Argent clanks.

So sorry.

Eruanna · 03-18-2005, 03:58 PM

Wait, they might have needed those slacks. It might be cold in the White Mountains as they go through Tarlang's Neck

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-20-2005, 09:12 PM

Your turn.

Eruanna · 03-21-2005, 12:40 PM

As Merry might have said to Pippin after the battle, "Ended a fight. Ok?"

NightKnight · 03-21-2005, 12:54 PM

Did he fight the King of the Dead?
