Karl Urban in a kilt? Didn't Saucepan Man say that on page 5?

As for the mystery of Inktomi Slurp Spider, I guess you guys just aren't that interested, huh? Either that or you can't read between the lines...

*gasp*

SPM and I thinking the same thing? That won't do at all.

(I looked and it wasn't page five- I found it on page three

)

A KILT???? What kind of sick puppy would think of Karl in a kilt? Is he even Scottish?

the phantom · 03-02-2005, 02:34 PM

The member in question (Eomer of the Rohirrim) is Scottish. That is where the kilt idea comes from.

Aaah, thanks, Phantom

...Does this mean you're the Wighted troublemaker? Ack! Now I have an image of Karl Urban's face on a kilt-wearing spider.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 03-02-2005, 03:19 PM

Eomer of the Rohirrim is a devilishly handsome young man of tall and lanky stature. His mesmerising blue eyes, longish dark hair and inviting smile have caused an alarmingly huge fan following. He has a vivid imagination and an outlandish conception of life, the universe and everything.

He does get slightly embarrassed when something he posts upsets the mods.

However, he also likes to point out when other people's guesses were way off.

Am I anywhere close, Eomer?

Fea

PS: You're still wearing a kilt.

Nuranar · 03-02-2005, 04:10 PM

I see the phantom as a moderately-tall (6') 20-something, tow-headed, with roguish hazel eyes and freckles. He's rather inconspicuous, actually, but his pent-up mischief simmers just below the surface. He has a turn for witty comments and finds a lot of entertainment in maintaining a pseudo-preternatural mystique.

Boromir88 · 03-02-2005, 05:54 PM

Quite acurate phantom and Thinlomien. I'm not quite over the hill yet (eventhough it feels like I'm already tumbling down and sorry no beard). But, everything else is pretty much right. Yes phantom I do find that difficult on which to choose sometimes (I'd say football wins most of the time).

Feanor of the Peredhil · 03-06-2005, 08:29 PM

The 'Downer has secured a cozy little spot in my mind, becoming, rather than an intelligent individual (this I do not know for a fact is true, but I assume, seeing as how Tolkien fans are automatically brilliant), a genderless, squat, small, bright yellow tennis ball. The kind you can buy at Walmart that has a smily face. I have a sneaky suspicion that my dogs would like to chase it (remember, genderless), but since my puppy is anti-social, that isn't saying much. As my Thai's new nickname is Jelly Bean (seeing as how he has a wee bit of a Jellybelly), him chasing The Tennis Ball Kid is much more impressive, as it implies actually running. I see TTBK with a rather active personality, going with the flow and bouncing from one subject to another quite quickly.

Same here, except for some reason Child has light colored hair and Bethberry has darker, and there was going to be a Kohl's, but alas, "it's too expensive" to build one here. I hate living in a small town....

Thinlómien: YOU'RE ALL WRONG! He or she is in fact a racoon, and only has an avatar of one to throw all of us off.

I imagine Bethberry hopping onto one of Gandalf_theGrey's smoke-ships and sailing it around the room-- although I remember vaguely that somebody ELSE did that. Still, I got confused, and associated that with Bethberry.

I miss the old codger. Wish he'd come back.

Short. Long, ash-blonde hair and small but piercing grey eyes.

5"10 . Hair currently about shoulders, colour: Loreal 8.3 - it was ash blonde for a while but I found it depressing. Eyes not that small

, but deep set, green-grey.

Boromir - never apologise for not having a beard....

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 03-03-2005, 10:58 AM

Poor Helen. I can tell you really wanted to be the one who discovered the mystery of the Spider. Perhaps the reason I imagine you with a detective's hat and large brown overcoat.

And Fea, I used to be lanky but lately I've learned how to walk properly. Your description is pleasing, you lovely young madam!

That's just because we are compared to you, O Tall Person!

What is going on with everyone picturing Eomer in a kilt? Yes, I know he's Scottish, but he can't wear a kilt 24/7. But, come to think of it, he probably could... and what pants he wears are plaid... They match his kilt. Hmm.... I must re-think my image.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 03-05-2005, 12:22 PM

Condescending national stereotyping of possibly the most un-nationalistic person on this forum.

A 'tis all in good fun!

elronds_daughter looks absolutely beautiful thanks to her dad's genes. Because of her upbringing she loves the high arts, and can usually be seen reading a classic novel or play. She has rounded ears.

Heavens! That's too close for comfort. What are you, Eomer, psychic? I do usually have my nose in a book... Mostly LotR, though I do throw in some Shakespeare every now and again.

Tall is such a relative term. Gil-Galad, I'm ready to concede that you're taller than *most* other people on the Downs. But to me, you're not tall.

My father and my middle younger brother are both 6'8". When people say someone is tall, perhaps he is - to them. To me, someone needs to be at least 6'6" for me to recognize that he's tall. There's a guy I've known for 3 years, and he's 6'5", I think. It never occurred to me that he was tall - I just felt normal around him! He was the size I am used to. My father was the first man I ever knew (obviously), and for a very long time the tallest I'd ever seen. When you see 6'8" as normal, what does that make the rest of the world??

But, for the sake of most other people, I'm ready to admit that you're tall. But I also hasten to defend Neurion. I don't know how tall he is. But I'm certainly not going to assume that 6'4" is the Downs' upper limit!

Incidentally, my oldest younger brother is roughly 6'2" - 6'3". My youngest younger brother is nearly 6' (we haven't measured in a while), and he's younger than you. It's a big question to see if he'll beat the oldest or not.

To stay on-topic: I see Neurion as his avatar, one of the Lorien Elves, and particularly since he's agreed he's tall. So, that makes him a good 6'6" or more, with a slim, strong build. Blond hair (but not long - I can't stand that), grey eyes, "aristocratic features." But he's a teenage boy, say 15, and although he looks like an Elf, he's full of mischief and chain-pulling.

Thinlómien · 03-10-2005, 08:58 AM

dancing spawn of ungoliant - 170cm tall snake-human. She has short, purple hair and wears too much make-up. Brown eyes. Can't stay still for a moment, but doesn't speak much. 19 years old.
Feanor of Peredhil - long, dark hair. Short and has pointy ears. Hugo Weaving as Elrond -like eyebrows. Round head. Smiles often. And yes - she's a mixture of a noldorin elf and a hobbit. (I thought she was about thirty years old, but I checked. 17 (or 18). Oh my guard.

)

My meaning wasn't to insult you, if I did so...

This is what you look like to me. Maybe I made you laugh as much as you made me laugh for your descriptions about me.

I changed my avatar, as you can see. So the raccoon invasion's ended. (I don't look like this avatar either...)
