Lush's I hate to come off as a nymphomaniac, but... in the Books Forum...

Thanks. I guess if this Forum needs its official pervert, the Mods needn't look too far. I personally think that "A Rough Draught of a Topic" is the coolest name ever.

I second the nomination for Middle-Earth AirForce.
And I nominate hold on to those rings started by the Phantom.

I'm not quite sure if this is right to nominate. It's not exactly a thread name, that's a link provided by Belin but I liked the nomenclature he chose very much:
this fine and interesting thread it is to be found here and refers to The Professor as Scholar thread (by the same author and also worth nominating BTW) [ November 11, 2002: Message edited by: HerenIstarion ]

Thanks to Cudae and to Birdland. A compliment from a barrowdowns member is a compliment indeed!
Like VanimaEdhel, I also like Lush's nymphomaniac thread starter. And for some reason Arwen Melian's topic, happy elves, really struck me funny.

This is not a thread, per se, but Belin sent me a pm with this title: "Entertain us, slaves!" I think it's great [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

New nomination!
Elves don't belong in Valinor? by Keneldil the Polka-dot. Hear, hear - that got my attention, and it actually applied to the topic. I'd also like to nominate Lush's nymphomaniac thread name, but it violates the friends and family clause. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] -Maril

Nympho is not a dirty word. It actually has some nice connotations. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
I second the vote on the new Elves thread, because it certainly got a lazy @$$ like me to read it.

*looks around nervously*
Totals Thenamir, Elenglin, BW, Nar, the Phantom, Vanima Edhel, Keneldil the Polka-dot with 2 votes each for single topics. Kalimac with 2 votes, divided between two topics. Lush with 3 votes for a single topic. You know who with 5 votes, divided between three topics. Thirty-six others with single votes. The Academy rests. Self-nominations were not counted. Topics mentioned without the author's name were not counted, unless referenced elsewhere on the list. *laughs madly* [ November 22, 2002: Message edited by: Rimbaud ]

I haven't even looked at the thread, but there is one titled: "Never mind answering, its just a test"
Now this may not be too funny but considering it has two pages I can see that the title's instuctions weren't followed. hehehe [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] |

Tulkas, it's just simple psychology [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Instruction of the "don't do this" kind is temtping people to do the opposite (and I heard Adam disliked apples, and Eve had allergy to them ...)
Rimbaud, I have 2 votes now, la la la...

Actually, it was just someone's signature/avatar test. It's turned out quite funny because of all the testing, then the responses that have come from it...check it out. I would certainly vote for it!

Most of my choices have been mentioned already several times, but I'll say that Baran's "Gandalf a Madman?" has a certain snap to it. Not long-winded, but attention-grabbing nonetheless.
Thanks, HerenIstarion [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. That's what you get for listening to Original Broadway CDs while websurfing. Maybe I should try it again sometime.

I have a thread from the movies section by Birdland to "nominate".

What is the ground speed of an unladen Ent? by Kalimac.

Dwarin Thunderhammer, Roll Out the Barrels. Appropriate, fun, and comes with its own tune. And reminds you of The Hobbit.

I would like to nominate Mr. Underhill's "Silmarilion Screams" in the Movies Forum for the nice alliteration and sheer attention-grabbing power.

All hail Lindril Arvilya for the super silly:

One of my favourite ones is
"Smile when you say that, Gimli!" , started by Birdland. Very funny, especially because Gimli is supposed to look grim and definitely not funny. (I wonder why they made such an idiot out of him in TTT?)

Shagrat and Gorbag.
Does anybody want to make bets? Oh, just so it doesn't look like I'm hijacking this thread and posting off topic (*shifty eyes* Who me?) here's a nomination: Dr. Saruman, or how I learned to stop worrying and love the Ring. by Balin999 [ January 15, 2003: Message edited by: Diamond18 ]

Yippiieee, thanks Diamond!
If there is anything that we need, it's a little praise now and then, my precious [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Oh and the post with the idiot (Gimli/Pippin) makes me think of sth. (Thread soon to be found in "The Movies) [ January 16, 2003: Message edited by: Balin999 ]

Ooh la la, Lúthien... by our dear old Lush. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] (It´s posted in Books.)
I have to say that the title and thread got my attention, and after reading the thread, made me laugh. Maybe that´s just me? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

The South (Farthing) Shall Rise Again! by Gilthalion is far and away my recent favorite. A daughter of the Confederacy am I, and it warms the cockles of my heart to see the tribute paid to our history for such a worthy Cause (i.e. getting together Southern Barrow-Downers.) *tips hat* My compliments, Gil!

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.
