Hi! It's nice to be here, amongst fellow Tolkien enthusiasts!

I am 18 years old, male, and very much not looking forward to school starting (first year of college . . . . yay??)

Besides that, I don't really have much to say about myself, save to give a "status report" with regards to my knowledge of Tolkien lore. I've read The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings (all three, of course . . . ), and The Silmarillion several times, and am currently reading them again as a refresher. That having been said, I am by no means an expert (after reading some of the threads here, well, it's incredible how many little details and subtle connections one overlooks, and some of the theories put forth I found very interesting), so I hope to learn much from you all.

- Koth

PS - I'm really bad at introductions, so if anyone has any questions or anything, go ahead.

Welcome all newcomers!

I know, I haven't been here in a while. I do not have a computer at the moment and won't until the end of October. We are building a house right now, and the house we were renting has been sold. I am now living with my grandparents, and they do not have a computer. I'll try and drop in while I am at school once in a while. I need the BD to keep my love for Tolkien alive. I miss you all! I can only hope you will miss me!

Hugs!

Nimmy

Well, It's been so long, i guess i should reintroduce myself.

I'm...

~*~ THE PERKY ENT ~*~

I played a lot on the downs about a year ago. When i did, i was a solid player. I've been gone for quite some time now, and don't know what's changed. Things look pretty much the same

Mr. Perky Ent welcome back indeed. It's been a long time since I've seen any of your posts in the Quiz forum. Though you shoudl check the Lost in Translation thread, your name has become quite an amusement.

Airspeed

Gil, the airspeed of an unladen European Swallow is, approximately, 11 meters per second, or 24 mph.

Ok, so I kinda cheated and got that from http://www.style.org/unladenswallow/

What was I supposed to do? I couldn't make head or tails of the complex equations
