Here's to your blarney stone, the phantom:


Four and twenty blackbirds will arise from Lalwende's Bethberry pie and sing the story of events from an eyewitness account, therebye putting to rest davem's conceit, of the Translator variety as well as others.

Amanaduial the Archer will edit all her RPGs for eucatastrophes, under the expert auspices of Helen 12_30.

Kuruharan will show Thenamir how to run a hugely inflated profit-making Barrow Downs store.

Aiwendil and lindil will be hired by the Tolkien Estate to publish the results of the Silmarillion project on the basis of Christopher Tolkien's acknowledgement that their rhyming names reflecting a previously unknown elvish dialect referred to as Black Elvish because of its similarity to an old Irish language.

the phantom will hack the Squatter smilie to replace it with his own name.

The Squatter of Amon Rudh and Fordim Hedgethistle will engage in a battle of canonicity, posting mainly in Old English--as the youngsters here understand Old English, being erudite, eloquent, and long-sentenced, with words over five syllables long.

Child of the 7thAge will forsake RPGs as a postmodern muddle of the true history of Middle earth and piosenniel will unlock The Shire, deciding that Aragorn had the wrong idea how to save the hobbits. Mithadan will invite Cuthalion and Maikadilwen back to help him run The Shire.

Legolas will volunteer to help Estelyn write The Light at the End of the Entish Bow, or, The Simarillion Condensed into Five Easy Ages.

Mr Underhill will retire from the Downs when he realises that Neil Gaiman is a better fantasy writer than Tolkien.

Sharku will start speaking again in chat, but this time in tongues which no one can understand, not even those who have studied Quenya with the guy who be short. burrahobbit will translate.
