<BR> Re: Heheh</b><br><br> No I don't. Although &quot;You have good manners for a liar and a thief&quot;<br> <br> -Smaug<br> <br> <br> <p></p>

[Zoe]

<BR> Re: Heheh</b><br><br> :Grabs Bible:<br> <br> Look, if you don't believe me, I'll swear on it! <br> <br> :Grabs copy of LotR, for those who would value that oath more:<br> <br> <p></p>

[the Lorien wanderer]

<BR> NOW we have to believe you.</b><br><br> Okay people. She's sworn on the LoTR. We know now that you speak the truth o' Zoe. Though I'm not so sure I would have believed you if you had sworn only on the Bible. <p>Not all those who wander are lost.</p>

[the Lorien wanderer]

<BR> Time difference !!!!</b><br><br> 4:29 AM!!!!! No wonder I never figured the time difference b/w the posts here and the American posts. I never noticed the AM/PM bit all these days. Oh and THAT is why we're practically always a day ahead. Coz America is almost 12 hours behind us. Lord, I get more absentminded by the day. <p>Not all those who wander are lost.</p>

[enep]

<BR>No wonder...</b><br><br> Yes, TLW. That's why I miss so much during the day and when I come on at night there's no-one in chat. Strange that <p>- <i>enep</i></p>

[the Lorien wanderer]

<BR><br><br> Yeah, you know I've never chatted on Barrowdowns! Because I never have company.<br> By the way, I LOVE the way my lovely nick has gone from 'the Lorien wanderer' to 'wanderer' and now finally to TLW. <p>Not all those who wander are lost.</p>

[Orald]

<BR><br><br> At least they are just shortening it and not changing it. Mine is Durelan, Durelin, etc.<br> <br> Not big changes, yet... <p></p>

[Mister Underhill]

<BR><br><br> Don't worry, Durling, we'll keep your name intact!<br> <p></p>

[Orald]

<BR><br><br> thanx MU. <p></p>

[Mister Underhill]

<BR><br><br> yw. <p></p>

[Orald]

<BR><br><br> From now on, i am going to abreviate everything. It is easier and more efficient that way, so if you don't known understands what I am talking about you will all know what I feel like some times. <br> <br> <p></p>

[enep]

<BR>u rite man</b><br><br> i now what u mean d'lin. abbrev. evrythin is way esr thn writing evrythin, u know? or do1ng th15. t4at5 wh@7 1 re@11y h@te. <br> The Lorien Wanderer: that's why my nick is only 4 letters. You can't shorten it. <p>- <i>enep</i></p>

[burrahobbit]

<BR><br><br> I could call you e. <p>What's a burrahobbit got to do with my pocket, anyways?</p>

[Orald]

<BR><br><br> a just call me D. <p></p>

[enep]

<BR>Hmm</b><br><br> burrahobbit: I can call you b. And you CAN call me e. But in that case it's impossible to have a nick name that can't be shortened. Unless it's one letter. Oh well. <p>- <i>enep</i></p>

[Orald]

<BR><br><br> You could refer to that person as. Being thart there is no character. <p></p>

[enep]

<BR>Not a bad idea .</b><br><br> That would be confusing though,. Anyway, I think we should stick with one letter,. <p>- <i>enep</i></p>

[Orald]

<BR><br><br> But I kinda like it,. Ok, maybe just think of a name as a &quot;meaningful pause&quot;. where you just pause in silence, instead of not refering to someone at all. <p></p>

[the Lorien wanderer]

<BR>Interesting idea</b><br><br> Very interesting idea *meaningful pause*.<br> And one of your above posts was magnificently incoherent e. HA! That looks so funny.<br> Nice to see you're back b.<br> And where's Z?<br> <br> I like this!<br> <br> <p>Not all those who wander are lost.</p>

[Zoe]

<BR><br><br> Is the Lorien Wanderer LW, L, or W? LW is two letters. L would get confused with Lindil, and W would get confused with the Wight. Hmmm. <p></p>

[enep]

<BR>D, Z, B and TLW!</b><br><br> *meaningful pause for TLW* should be ok. Yes, I was babbling on incoherently for a while, imitating all the losers on ICQ. Not <i> everyone</i> on ICQ, but you know what I mean. The people that think they're cool so t@1k l!k3 th!5. <p>- <i>enep</i></p>

[Zoe]

<BR><br><br> TWL: You're a meaningful person! (Okay, so you're actually a meaningful pause...) <p></p>

[enep]

<BR>Hmm</b><br><br> TWL? The Wandering Lorien? How about TMP! The Meaningful Pause! <p>- <i>enep</i></p>

[Zoe]

<BR><br><br> Typo, sorry. To quote the school yearbook for my school last year: &quot;Sorry if we made two menny tippos.&quot; <p></p>

[enep]

<BR>Hmm</b><br><br> MWA HA HA! That's strangely funny. Two menny tippos. <p>- <i>enep</i></p>

[the Lorien wanderer]

<BR><br><br> So am I TLW or a meaningful pause or a meaningful person or a meaningful pause for TLW or the Wandering Lorien? Got any of that? I think my written words are even more incoherent than when I speak, which is unintelligible enough at times.<br> <br> So anyway, I advise you to stick with TLW. And I'll stick with Z and e, my philosophical friends. <p>Not all those who wander are lost.</p>

[Orald]

<BR><br><br> Sorry , I am not going to call you that. You will always be known as to me. <p></p>

[enep]

<BR>Hmm</b><br><br> but that could arouse confusion,. Very well, fellow philosopher - TLW, Z and e it shall be! This thread has gone all over the place. 100 odd posts and we're talking about abbreviating names? PS this is my 200th post. 50 more for my Shade-ee-ness! <p>- <i>enep</i></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://www.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_profile&u=00000041>enep</A> at: 2/3/01 4:55:13 pm<br></i>

[Orald]

<BR><br><br> Congrats, e! maybe after you reach 500 you can start over again with a name that has meaning behind it. <p></p>

[Zoe]

<BR><br><br> Yes, congratulations! You are certainly talkative, e. <p></p>

[the Lorien wanderer]

<BR><br><br> yeah, e certainly is very typitive. (yes, yes groan away) I'm as? I'll never know when you're talking to me. But you're going to be HR for me Durelen. <p>Not all those who wander are lost.</p>

[enep]

<BR>Typitive...what next</b><br><br> Typitive. Tsk, tsk. . I'm SURE that one's not in the dictionary I think D meant &quot;you will always be known as (meaningful pause for TLW) to me.&quot; Just to avoid confusion, I think we should stick to first letters. <p>- <i>enep</i></p>

[the Lorien wanderer]

<BR>Sure enough.</b><br><br> I'm pretty sure that's not in the dictionary. No matter, I'll make sure it gets added. Not that it has anything to do with the topic, but did you know prepone isn't in the dictionary either?<br> I got that e. What I meant was, so I'm known as *meaningful pause for TLW*. I guess I forgot the 'known' huh? I quite agree with the initials suggestion. But I don't mind being addressed as by HR. <p>Not all those who wander are lost.</p>

[Orald]

<BR><br><br> why HR, id on't understand, . And you would have to see me in person to understadn the whole concept on meaningful pauses. So i guess i will refer to you as TLW. <p></p>

[the Lorien wanderer]

<BR>HR for....</b><br><br> HR for Howard Roark. And you won't get it till you read the book. Yeah, I think i like TLW better. <p>Not all those who wander are lost.</p>

[Orald]

<BR><br><br> How am I going to read the book when I have no cloe what it is about, or where I an get it? <p></p>

[the Lorien wanderer]

<BR>I told you.</b><br><br> I told you sometime earlier. The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. And you'll get it at any.....waitaminute. Where do you live D? <p>Not all those who wander are lost.</p>

[Orald]

<BR><br><br> West Virginia, in the US. Why do you ask? <p></p>

[the Lorien wanderer]

<BR>Oh..</b><br><br> Because if you lived somewhere way out like Zambia or something, I wouldn't be able to say &quot;Just go to any good bookshop and ask for it.&quot;. God knows if they've evn heard of Ayn Rand. You'll get it anywhere in the US man. <p></p>

[KayQy]

<BR><br><br> The whole meaningful pause thing reminds me of the artist formerly known as Prince who didn't want to be known as &quot;the artist formerly known as Prince.&quot; Did anyone else get that feeling?<br> <br> Q: why is abbreviation such a long word? <br> <br> And when was the last post that was actually about LOTR? Not that I mind, I love going off on tanget after tangent. <p><i>The days are fated to be filled with marvels.</i></p>
