[QUOTE=Lalwendë]Alright I'll look out for a woman in pink thigh boots - because I remember you saying you bought some.

So let's hope Priscilla doesn't turn up in a pair.

[QUOTE]

Only knee high.... I might wear the black ones though...

but not terribly good for walking.. given the uncertain weather and the fact I will have to leave the house by a quarter past six I shall be the one in totally inappropriate clothing. Either I will be sweltering in black knitwear or be a drowned rat in sodden chiffon... actually if you think of a tall Miss Piggy you won't be far out

My train gets in at 8.32 if it goes according to plan - and I shan't be taking hte national rail website routeplanner's helpful suggestion of taking the "midnight mail" and sitting at Southampton Airport for 6 hours in order to arrive at 8.26.......

If you see Statler and Waldorf then that's Lalwende and davem.

Gonzo will turn up at some stage.................I am almost positive.

Lalwendë · 09-11-2006, 11:37 AM

So we shall be a right bunch of muppets then?

narfforc · 09-11-2006, 12:23 PM

Hey just had a great idea The Middle-earth Muppet Show:

It's time to kill some orcse's
It's time to have a fight
It's time to act like corpses
On the Muppet show tonight.

Miss Piggy as Eowyn
Kermit as Frodo
Fozzy as Sam
Gonzo as Gollum
Statler as Theoden
Waldorf as Denethor
Swedish Chef as Gimli
Eagle as Gwahir
Beaker as Suicide Orc at Helms Deep.

Any other idea's, what about Sesame Street or The Magic Roundabout ummmmm.

Oooh Magic Roundabout .....

Guess Gandalf is Zebedee
Bomabadil / Radagast- Dylan?
Elrond - Mr Rusty
Galadriel -Ermintrude
Aragorn Brian the Snail
Frodo - Dougal

Lalwendë · 09-11-2006, 12:51 PM

Aragorn is Brian The Snail?!

I'd have Gollum down as Animal or Zebedee.

Saruman as Dr Bunsen Honeydew.
Sam as Robin.
Arwen as Camilla the Chicken.
Gandalf as Rowlf the Dog.

Doo-doo-de-do-do!
Manwe, Manwe,

Best wishes to all of you who are going to Oxford - have a wonderful time! As I'm travelling to the West this week, I won't be there, but I have fond memories of Birmingham last year. It was a great experience, and has lead to my involvement in the German Tolkien Society (I had to go to England to meet the German fans!) and even to a translating job for a Tolkien studies anthology.

So watch out - you never know where the path takes you once you step out of your door!
