To the simpathetic Istari Gandalf might be called either Gandalf the Grey.. Gandalf the White.. or Brandon the slightly Desert-Sage.

His many travels into the land of the Shire were riddled with mystery, as he was, quite mysterious personality-wise. None of the hobbits were able to quite pin down what the Big person meant when he would mutter "toddle off and scent your own tea!" for instance... or "Confounded fool! you misplaced my rune-stamp again!" as there was very obviously no one there that he was speaking to.

Being perticularly dominate, Gandalf held his own during Bilbo's adventures and retreated into the Wilder Country when, much to his shame, Brandon decided to act up. In Rivendell Elrond expelled Brandon (and in affect Gandalf) from the Council many a time for loudly humming showtunes to himself.

It was, however, in Moria Brandon and Gandalf were to make their mark on history. Brandon the slightly Desert-Sage, it seemed, had an obsession with collecting antiques and just who would he be without an heirloom from the Second Age? In an act of desperation he pulled Frodo away from the rest of the company by the chain around his neck but tripped over an ill-placed dwarvian flute.

The Fellowship, now hopelessly lost, were overcome by an onslaught of orcs and loud, lingering "Eeeeee!" and pathetic whimpering sounds coming from a very deep ravine.

I wish the Fellowship members were all on a strictly sushi diet.

GRANTED! But it makes them all very testy. Every little thing bothers them and many fights break out due to lack of different foods. They decide to end the suishi diet after stoning Legolas to death because he was eating an apple instead of sushi.

I wish Merry was a NASCAR driver.

*POOF!*

As the first ever NASCAR racer to need pedal extensions, the rookie Meriadoc Brandybuck had a built-in fan base in TGWBS and other vertically challenged individuals. Unfortunately, his career was short lived when he discovered why the officials frowned upon his habit of sitting on a all-too-flammable telephone book in order to see over the wheel, as well as his refusal to wear flame retardant shoes...

No more fuzzy hobbit...


I wish that Boromir played football.

Whoosh! Your wish is granted! Boromir plays Football. unfortunately, no one in Middle Earth does, save for the stone giants. So he challenges them to a game. It goes to a penalty shootout and Boromir breaks his foot when he trips over. The Stone giants laugh so hard that they fall on top of him and squish him.

I wish Shelob had got her own mini series after The Lord of the Rings.

Why did I let this thread become silent?

"Aqui esta, y ya lo ves, Miss Shelob ella es!" And that was the catch phrase of the new SHELOB mini-series. Sadly, it was in Spanish and the "common tounge" of Middle Earth strangely resembles English, not Spanish. It wasn't quite a hit, so Shelob made as Ungoliant and ate all the light of the world. It took a while, but since she was on TV for a while, people would let her into their houses and steal the light quite easily. After all of the Fellowship's efforts, the world WAS covered in a second darkness after all.

I wish Legolas was still alive, still living in "Middle Earth" (which now is what we call "Planet Earth") and posting on the 'downs

Your wish is granted. But when it was revealed that The Barrow-Wight was Legolas mass chaos erupted. The news reached the New York Times with the headline, "Stern forum moderater is Legolas." His house was mobbed by fangirls and others who wanted to talk with a member of the Fellowship of the Ring. But he was not there. He had fled to the woods of West Virginia. At least the Balrog wing debate was solved because of The Barrow-Wight's vote in the Balrog wing poll. But The Phantom became the new moderater and the members yearned for the days of The Barrow-Wight.

I wish Saruman hadn't turned bad.

Your wish is granted. He takes up Tennis instead of becoming evil. He turns all of Isenguard into a giant Tennis stadium and plays endlessly against Gandalf and the other Istari. Gandalf is distracted by the final of the Saruman Cup and does not warn Bilbo about giving away the Ring and so takes it to Rivendell.
Sauron attacks Rivendel and Bilbo is cast out for being selfish. The Dark lord regains the Ring and launches an all out attack on Middle Earth. Gandalf doesn’t finish his game against Saruman and returns to Valinor and sulks.

I wish The Balrog had decided to be civil and not tried to kill the Fellowship. Offering them a cup of tea instead.
