another quote game.
You have to identify the speaker, the insulted, and the referrence (if there is one) of the insulting quote from a Tolkien book. correct guess goes next.
to start off

Edit: excuse me if for stating the obvious.

Was it Melkor to Ungolient?

Bergil · 11-21-2005, 03:48 PM

you got it.

arcticstorm · 11-25-2005, 09:39 AM

Impressive! Go ahead.

luthien-elvenprincess · 11-26-2005, 10:06 AM

I think this should be easy...

Hobbits are so dull.

The Elves to Frodo, Sam and Pippin, when they were leaving the Shire.

luthien-elvenprincess · 11-26-2005, 01:22 PM

Yep!

Good luck.

arcticstorm · 12-04-2005, 11:20 PM

was it the mouth of Sauron to the delegation referring to Frodo?

Dimturiel · 12-05-2005, 10:41 AM

Nope, not that, sorry.

Sleepy Ranger · 12-09-2005, 12:53 PM

Thingol to the dwarves who made the necklace I believe. It was when they asked for greater payment I believe.

Dimturiel · 12-09-2005, 12:59 PM

That's right.

gralin musicteeth · 01-17-2006, 06:30 AM

This thread seems to be dying....so here's an easy one to start it up again:

I actually felt really bad for the recipient of that one. I almost cried.

Sleepy Ranger · 08-20-2006, 04:54 AM

To get this moving again I believe I shall give you an easy one. Almost too easy in fact...

Fool of a Took

Annatar! · 08-21-2006, 12:09 AM

Gandalf to Pippin in Moria.

the previous one is Turin Turambar to Brandir the Lame

Sleepy Ranger · 08-21-2006, 02:03 AM

Heh... maybe it isn't that easy. Gandalf to Pippin in Moria is not what I'm looking for.

Dimturiel · 08-21-2006, 05:18 AM

Gandalf to Pippin in Isengard, then?

Ah, Dimturiel! It has been a while. Yes, that is it. Your turn.

Annatar! · 08-21-2006, 06:42 AM

Can someone please quote the passage where Gandalf says to Pippin in Isengard "fool of a took?????? double checking it is found in Moria just after Pippin drops a stone into a well, can't seem to find it in any passages that take place in Isengard with the necessary charatcers. Gandalf does call Pippin a tom-fool of a Took though, (without being pedantic)

Sleepy Ranger · 08-21-2006, 09:06 AM

It is the 'tom-fool of a Took' quote. I just have an annoying habit of shortening/cutting away quotes like that. Just to make it a bit more challenging for the others.

Not like I'd cut words into half at random. Just in cases like this one where you can mistake it with something else. Its not the first time I've been tricksy at Quotes.

Anyway, welcome to the Barrow-Downs and I hope you have a good stay. I'll be looking forward to seeing more of you in Quotes.

"If we speak of poisoned tongues what shall we say of yours, young serpent?"

Saruman to Eomer.

Pardon me but, welcome back Evisse. Here, I'll steal this moment to knight you Lady of Quotes. In other news, the user above you is a Lady of Quotes as well.

Dimturiel · 08-26-2006, 07:30 AM

Yep, that's the one, Evisse.

Evisse the Blue · 08-26-2006, 09:54 AM

I'll try to live up to it.

That's correct.

Do you need a hint?

It's from one of the Minor Works...
Or are they not included in this thread?

Evisse the Blue · 09-05-2006, 07:03 AM

They should be included imo, otherwise we'll run out of quotes to use...

But I think we're gonna need another hint to get this one.

Guinevere · 09-05-2006, 12:52 PM

Look in the poems...

Glirdan · 09-05-2006, 01:24 PM

I do believe that was Bilbo to the Spiders in Mirkwood.

Guinevere · 09-05-2006, 01:34 PM

"The Hobbit" is not one of the Minor Works

Glirdan · 09-05-2006, 01:39 PM

Awwww....well, I won't get it... (I don't have any of the minor works...)

Guinevere · 09-22-2006, 03:03 PM

Hm, it looks like I have killed this thread with this quote

It's from "Tales from the Perilous Realm" in one of the poems.

But if nobody gets it soon, I'll solve it and post another "insult" from LotR
