Yay - darn this means I have to make one up.

I don't know how many of you have read the Discworld novels but my favourites are the ones about Commander Vimes and his wife Sybil. Both of them are very funny, as are the books.

One word and its very easy.

Kath · 04-19-2004, 11:48 AM

Thanks for the extra points, Kath.
Ok, let's see...

He pushed open the door of his room in the new age hotel. 'A normal one would be better', he thought gloomily. The radio in the walls was shrieking: 'Life is a cabaret, old chum'. Barely seeing his way through the dimly lit room, he moved towards a many- layered window to pull open the blinds. 'Cabaret, heh, yeah, right!' he mumbled ironically, at the scene that greeted him.

There's four to be found.

'Quick! Eat that ham faster, we have to lay forth the anchor and save Frodo!"
Three to find and no Frodo is not one of them.

And you may see humbar, but I see Umbar.

Evisse the Blue · 04-23-2004, 04:28 AM

Mad Baggins · 04-23-2004, 06:40 PM

'A normal

I found Anor, as in Minas Anor. That's the best I can do...if that isn't it I'm stumped.

Evisse the Blue · 04-26-2004, 01:15 AM

You're right , Mad Baggins, but there's yet another one...ok, I'll give it away - it's Aman - towards A MANy.

Now, for points - Kath got four,
Saucepan Man- one,
Mad Baggins - three.

According to this, Kath should give us the next one!
