Thank you so much, everyone [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [blushes]. Love the Gollum and Cirith Ungol ones, and of course poor old Glorfindel (for a character who has about six lines he certainly did pretty well in terms of popularity - he's like the Boba Fett of LOTR [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]).

Another skit, if it hasn't gotten old:

"Curses be upon your head, you've reached the Tower of Barad-Dur and the voicemail of Sauron the Maia. Unfortunately I'm not yet reinstated in a body, so I'm physically unable to pick up the telephone. This message is being recorded by the Mouth of Sauron. To beg for mercy, press 1. To confess, press 2. To betray someone, press 3. If you have information on some worthless little trinket which may have belonged to me, please press 0, stay exactly where you are, and do not attempt to resist the entities which will shortly be coming for you. All calls will be recorded the better to serve our own purposes."

[press 3]

"To talk to Him, press 1. For Her, press 2. If you don't know who either of these are, please press 0 and expect our agents to arrive shortly."

[press 1]

(Hold while "There's a Whip, There's a way" plays)

"Bubblebubblebubble...hisssss...."

"Greetingssss, your ladysssship. Smeagol bringsss nice tassssty hobbitsssesss, yesss?"

"Bubble?"

"Food. Niccce food."

"Glurp."

"No, not orcses. Fresssh."

[sudden enthusiastic bubbling, during which transmission is lost].

OK, so that was a bit lame. But come on, you KNOW that Sauron & Co. would tape record everything, wouldn't they?
