My fave is Smile When you say that Gimli. I think the best one I came up with was Seeking asylum? Sorry we are racist... as it was at a time when the problems of asylum was at a high here in the UK.

Hirilaelin · 03-22-2003, 12:50 AM

Just saw this one...

Uruk Hai Anti Defamation League, started by lindil.

Marileangorifurnimaluim · 04-04-2003, 03:16 PM

Hand me my sword and my teeth, would you Frodo? by VanimaEdhel.

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

- Maril (yes, I'm still dead)

The Evenstar · 04-06-2003, 11:27 PM

Hey,

I'd have to agree with you on that one,Maril.

Oh and P.S. I like your name! (hehe) It's a mouthful!

VanimaEdhel · 04-07-2003, 09:47 AM

Typos (or: Is it a Freudian slip?) is great, I think. Although it got a bit off the original intended topic, it's still funny to read too! Go read it!

And thank you, Maril and The Evenstar!

Morsul the Dark · 08-20-2004, 02:26 AM

there are two I like

"Quantum physics multiple unverses...no LOTR"

and

"Smack the Dwarf"

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 08-20-2004, 08:48 AM

Yes, those were certainly intriguing. Who were they posted by Morsul?

mark12_30's m'preciousss is definitely a good 'un. And cheers Sirith! I contemplated those titles for several months in order to get them featured on this thread!

HerenIstarion · 08-21-2004, 01:22 AM

Morsul is a tiny bit of a cheat

, as Smack the Dwarf is of his own authorship

. Tricky, tricky morsul

But let us second that nomination

Morsul the Dark · 08-21-2004, 01:29 AM

sorry i just find them funny

alaklondewen · 04-09-2003, 03:52 PM

"When Spring unfolds the beechen leaf" by Birdland gets my vote. It's very poetic.

Hobbit Sex Ed from Marileangorifurnimaluim. Geez, who could resist clicking on that one?

*Blushes* I certainly couldn't resist, I must admit...*turns an even deeper pink* I would be willing to guess that every one of my fellow teen-agers clicked on it too. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-25-2003, 05:26 PM

I like: Another stange gift of the elves or lost contacts?, by Silmarien. The thread wasn't as intriguing as the title, though.

Also: Tolkien Scholars or Academics can Kiss My As-taldo, by the one and only Lush

And a third vote for: Blue Wizard Quizzes, from Pallando B.C. on a quiz thread that has nothing at all to do with the Ithryn Luin.

Hobbit Sex Ed's pretty good too... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Really? I've always avoided it because it sounded too learned!

Well, once you said that, I couldn't resist. And I have to admit that I'd read quite a bit of it before I realised what 'Sex Ed' meant *blushes a deeper shade of red than Vanima*

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-26-2003, 02:01 PM

heehee, it's just generic random trivia if you look inside, Lyra. No blue wizards in sight. (unless you count Pallando BC [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img])

Sophia

*Varda* · 04-26-2003, 02:03 PM

Hobbit Sex ED...yes, it would seem the title drew a lot of people to it [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

And I like Typos (or a Freudian Slip?) too.

I think that's one of the most amusing threads to read, actually...

Estelyn Telcontar · 05-30-2004, 11:47 AM

I simply must dig up this old thread to nominate a new, very clever thread title by HerenIstarion - "ReVerse"! Such a cute play on words for his specialty, turning Tolkien poetry around so it's opposite in meaning...

Sirithheruwen · 05-30-2004, 12:00 PM

Well, to nominate one of my own...

Frodo the Drama Queen

The name seemed to draw people in, but the thread was a flop.

It was, after all, the first thread that I started.

- LOL!

Ah, there are so many cool thread names I thought were really cool, but now it seems I'm having a blank...I'll be back though.
Here's one that was stuck in my head for days on end: From the Books forum: Man to Man in Araman (by Nilpaurion Felagund).

And in the Quotable Quotes section there was a thread: A few quotes (yes, I'm bored at work). Not sure if this was the exact exact title though.
