To the merriment

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Having had a vague memory, I made to track down and old war of sorts... and I then got pulled into rereading an entire six page thread. On my way from the initial post linking to a hilarious quiz that Lush created while bored in Durham, all the way to the end, I discovered a few half-forgotten laughs.

Lush's inadvertant proposal to Heren Istarion and his subsequent agreement, so long as there were not too many festivities and formalities involved.

Eomer of the Rohirrim's kind explanation of the genetics involved with the inborn pinkie (ie: little finger) extension observed during British Beverage-Imbibing.

The origin of my official imaginings of Eomer in a kilt, brought on initially by Saraphim's refusal of a marriage proposal that Eomer was unaware he had made, followed by his determination to win us all over. This is possibly where his terrifyingly large fan club originated.

Continuing through the thread, another laugh was brought on by Saraphim's declaration of war between the Uber-Dorks and the Cheeky Brits. At the very first, it was not an official war... until Eomer declared it so himself. Page Four is where the war really kicks off, seeing as how this is where whipped cream and argyle come into play. The war continues to crack me up as the phantom pops in just long enough to make the offer of the winner becoming his secretary. After a record set for number of pages allowed to continue off-topic, Lush tries really hard to steer us back on course. It uh... doesn't actually work. And then, after Gil-galad's final post suggesting that everybody stalk him... the thread dies.

And that, my friends, is one of my favorite public forum experiences. Mind you, some of the insane PM encounters leave me giggling to no end. And so to end this very linked post... Great thread idea, Eomer. I'd rep you, but I can't for awhile.

Who could ever forget the famous gauntlet Fordim slapped Mithalwen with in the CbC thread for "Strider"? It led to an untimely comparison of Faramir and Aragorn which ended tragically. Well, not really...just with Esty's reprimand.

Oh dear, let's hope the future Mrs. Istarion never finds out about that!

Oh no... it was merely adjourned to another place (The coming of age club) and immortalised in merchandise.

Bravo, Fea! Perhaps with all those links, someone will bring the thread back to life.

Or Saucepan Man's now famous self-provided image of himself involuntarily spitting a mouthful of coffee all over his computer screen when faced with a not-too-accurate description of himself in the How do you imagine other BDers thread. This was definitely a fall-out-of-your-seat-laughing moment.

Oh, I loved that! My parents were watching a movie when I started laughing uncontrollably. They ended up kicking me off the computer, all thanks to SpM.

This is probably something very few noticed, but in the New Members Introduce Yourselves thread, Gil-galad told me I could call him Sugar because of a random title to my post. I began calling him Sugar and a couple people were wondering why. I still call him Sugar.

Fea, that thread made me laugh so much. Probably because I am such an insufferable egomaniac...

Another single comment that made me burst out laughing was Helen's "Did your face atrophy?", which essentially begged for a stern warning from the moderator. I think we were talking about smilies, or something. A brilliant example of off-the-wall humour.

And also the 'bear/bare' fiasco which I think only Mithalwen knows about. Suffice to say, I confused the two words, with highly embarrassing consequences.

I was looking back through some threads today and I found something I had forgotten about- an extremely silly pun by me in the Freudian slip thread.

It started with Finwe's post. And I responded here.

Yeah. It's pretty bad. But it sure made me laugh.

I assure you it did not escape notice.

I choked to death--thrice--when I read those posts.
