Lily Bombadil · 09-03-2005, 07:38 PM

I want to appreciate my favourite Balrog. His name is Bob. Moreover, I would like to express my appreciation in song:

For he's a jolly good balrog,
For he's a jolly good balrog,
For he's a jolly good BAAAALROOOOOG!!!!!!!!! Which nobody can deny!
Which nobody can deny!
Which nobody can deny!
For he's a jolly good bonfiiiiiiire! I mean balrooooooog!
Which nobody can deny!

Woohoo!! Yeah! Let's hear it for Bob! Putcha hands in the air! (oo! oo!) Wave 'em like ya just don't care! (oo! oo!)

I apologise for the bizaare quality of this post. I was just head-banging to System Of A Down and now my head hurts...

Balrog Appreciation Month, eh? How perfect! I'm prepared just for the occasion! You see...

I was traveling down Bucklan, when i was approached by a hobbit. "Hello my good sir!" he said. "Shoo" I said. "Why you look like a crafty business man!" A crafty business man! I never knew! In thanks, I asked his name, and he replied "Facknol Drakkiath!" "What can I do ya for Drakkie? " I says , and he pulls somethign out of this box, and asks if I want to wear it. "What is it?" I says. And he just sat there and laughed for a minute. Then, he threw it on my head, and I felt a burning sensation! I was on fire! As an ent...this is not a good thing. At once I killed the hobbit. Then, after a minute of pain, a whip formed out of my fist, and it was then I first realized. I was a balrog! At once, I ran through bywatter, burning as i go. I put it out...but some things are unavoidable. I didn't know how to unresume by Balrog form, so in confusion, I scratched my head. When I did this, I ceased to be a Balrog, and turned back into an ent. From my head fell this adorable little mask that looked like a Balrog. I stored it in my secret chest of magical goodies, and haven't used it since!

Well...now seems like an appropreate occasoin!

*puts on Balrog mask*

Happy Holidays Everyone!

Andn don't worry! I hug myself at night lol

I would like to aknowledge a very special Balrog today. Johnny the Stinky Balrog. Gil-Gallad's closest friend. If you need more information on how special this Balrog is, please visit the Fourtunately/Unfourtunately thread or "The Adventures of Gil-Galad and Johnny the Stinky Balrog" All donations for Johnny go to Gil.

i really have to get to work on those...

Roggie of Morgoth · 09-05-2005, 12:08 PM

Roggie was scrolling for exercise in Moria's corridors, humming under his nose:

Empty spaces - what are we living for
Abandoned places (indeed, where did all dwarves go?) - I guess we know the score...
On and on, does anybody know what we are looking for... (some wizard or another would come in handy, it's boring!)
Another hero, another mindless crime
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime
Hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore
The show must go on
The show must go on, yeah
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking (especially eyeliner is prone to...)
But my smile still stays on

Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance
Another heartache, another failed romance (and I did loved that chick of a maia, honest!)
On and on, does anybody know what we are living for?
I guess I'm learning (I'm learning learning learning, well, I do, don't I?)
I must be warmer now (hm, indeed, being fiery and whatnot)
I'll soon be turning (turning turning turning)
Round the corner now...

Stop! What's this, right round the corner? Balrog appreciation thread? Good grief, are my eyes deceiving me? What? No interviews? Hey, hey, Mr. Reporter, ask me, ask me, please, please ask me about wings! Hey, I won't mind, honest!

Lily Bombadil · 09-05-2005, 12:59 PM

I apologise; for it seems I've forgotten to hug Johnny. And given that he is Gil-Galad's best friend, and I am Gil-Galad's best girl, I am ashamed for having forgotten. *slips into fire-protective suit* Johnny, wait!!!!!!!!!! *hugs Johnny's ankle* I lurve you, Johnny.......but you STINK!
