Ask a stupid question - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Naria · 07-25-2006, 11:41 PM

Well since things are a little slow(for now). I thought of a game for everyone to pass the time. This is a game where you ask a stupid LOTR related question and get a possibly stupider answer back. Okay? Here we go.....

First person: Why did Gollum where a loin cloth?

Second person: Loin cloths?! Why they are all the rage in the cave scene, of course.

I'll start you off!

Why didn't Sam and Frodo just get an Eagle to ride to Mordor instead of walking all of that way?

Valier · 07-25-2006, 11:50 PM

I'll give it a go....

Q: Why didn't Sam and Frodo just get an Eagle to ride to Mordor instead of walking all of that way?

A: Because someone convinced them, that walking makes you grow.

If I get this right I go on with the next question?

Why was Boromir, named Boromir?

Glirdan · 07-26-2006, 07:51 AM

Valier, I think it works like the "Be Careful What You Wish For..." thread. So you give a whacky answer and then give us a whacky question to give a whacky answer and so on so forth.

So here's my whacky answer!

Quote:

Q: Why didn't Sam and Frodo just get an Eagle to ride to Mordor instead of walking all of that way?

A: Because Denethor liked r's. Boromir, Faramir.

Q: Why did the Ents go to war?

Which credit cards do they accept at the Gap of Rohan ?

Naria · 07-26-2006, 10:53 AM

Bean, your question has got to be a little more lotr related than that. Only the answer can be that "far out"

. I think that is what makes this game really funny and fun. It could be a question that you've always wanted to ask or just a silly question, but obviously one isn't going to get the answer that they are looking for. I probably should have named the thread "give a stupid answer"

ahh well.

If you don't mind Bean I'll ask another question.

Q: Why is it that, though elves are so in-tuned with nature, that they have to buy wine of men?
