That sounds like an action hero name to me, though it makes me miss those days when she'd show up randomly in the chatroom.

But it also looks like one....
so no, and Boromir ..what are you doing...?

Valier · 09-14-2006, 10:22 AM

Could it be perhaps Ninja91? Reminds me slightly of Agent 99....

Anguirel · 09-14-2006, 10:42 AM

Literal to the literary...er...Rimbaud?

EDIT: Is there some action hero called Rambo? If so this may not be a flippant stab, but in fact the right answer. Which would be quite alarming.

EDIT: Lord above. There is.

You may be right, Anguirel. The name sounds like Rambo, it was between Garner and Gibson and appearently you (being young) don't know about him!! I'm sorry but I am laughing hysterically right now.

Lalaith · 09-14-2006, 03:55 PM

I really wish I were young, and therefore didn't have to know about him.

Mithalwen · 09-15-2006, 10:09 AM

An action hero, unlikely as it sounds: Is indeed our Perilous Poet..... I would point out that I am not a Stallone fan but as Anguirel's Wikipedia article points out the name passed into the wider culture.... Nevertheless it seems that Baudelaire remains the preferred French Romantic poet of the downs....

Over to you Maestro Fenriso....

Anguirel · 09-16-2006, 09:11 AM

Hmmm...the Apostolic Agent

Hookbill the Goomba · 09-16-2006, 09:32 AM

Is it, mark12_30?

His name is a Bible verse. ("Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, all thy mind, all thy soul and all thy strength")

And, who knows, he may work for MI-5 or some other secret agent place.
You're not a Spook are you, mark, if that is your real name...

Anguirel · 09-16-2006, 09:52 AM

Actually, mark is a she, called Helen...but she is not, alas, the answer.

HerenIstarion · 09-16-2006, 10:49 AM

007paul

Newly registered, never posted yet, but blimey, as Bill or Tom or Bert, whoever, used to say, if this is not, once we touch the ground, the very Apostolic Agent

Anguirel · 09-16-2006, 12:33 PM

Aye! Take it from the top, m'lud.

I thought I finaly had gotten the genders of the more known members right, but I can see I was wrong.

Lemme see...next one will be

Dead dragon coming back to life the day dread horseman was born

Celuien · 09-17-2006, 10:01 AM

Smaug reborn

Who shares a birthday with the Dread Horseman, Mister Underhill.

Hookbill the Goomba · 09-17-2006, 10:04 AM

Blast you, Celuien! I was just about to say that!

Oh well...

Spot on

The floor is yours, my lady.

Celuien · 09-17-2006, 06:34 PM

Thank you, Sir Heren.

Hmm. Let's try something a little cryptic.

Sounds like a seer is going to be sick.

Diamond18 · 09-17-2006, 10:10 PM

Aylwen Dreamsong, the Melody of Misery

I'm afraid not.

Diamond18 · 09-19-2006, 01:12 AM

Inconceivable... Dream = Seer, Song/Melody = Sounds, Misery = Sick, how could it be wrong?!?

Oh well, it was my only idea anyway.

The 'sounds like' is important.

I thought the Aylwen portion might have been on the right track.

Kath · 09-19-2006, 10:46 AM

Farael? If you really slur your words it sounds like 'feeling ill'.

Celuien · 09-19-2006, 11:21 AM

It's not Farael, but 50% of the reasoning is correct.

Celuien · 09-23-2006, 09:14 AM

Hint:
Two of the three syllables in the solution have been revealed in Kath's and Di's answers. In fact, those replies are only one letter short of having all three syllables revealed. So close.

Hookbill the Goomba · 09-24-2006, 09:39 AM

Formendacil? With the last syllable sounding like 'ill'...

I'm stumped otherwise.

Celuien · 09-24-2006, 09:47 AM

Sorry, it's not Formy.

You are correct that the last part is ill.

Hint: The seer is quite literally a seer. As in something that sees.

Kath · 09-24-2006, 10:01 AM

Aiwendil? Presumably Istari can see.

Celuien · 09-24-2006, 10:08 AM

Quote:

Aiwendil

Correct!

Seer = eye (Ai)
Going = wend[ing]

All yours.

Kath · 09-24-2006, 10:13 AM

I so didn't get all that.

But thanks!

A male from a southern state.

Holbytlass · 09-26-2006, 06:58 AM

Meneltarmacil

men=male
and he's from Virginia (me, too!)

Kath · 09-26-2006, 07:15 AM

No but nice try.

Mithalwen · 09-26-2006, 08:23 AM

It is not Heren Istarionis it ? George from Georgia? I know his is the Trans-caucasian state rather than the American one but ..... all I can think of..

Kath · 09-26-2006, 08:45 AM

Sorry no again.

Mithalwen · 09-26-2006, 10:20 AM

Boromir88? Man of Gondor, southernstateof Middle Earth?

Kath · 09-26-2006, 02:53 PM

No, it's much simpler than that!

Hookbill the Goomba · 09-26-2006, 02:56 PM

If there is a member called Man of the South, then I'll say him. :P

mormegil · 09-26-2006, 02:56 PM

The Perky Ent? Simply he live in New Orleans, LA. Is it that simple?

Kath · 09-26-2006, 02:57 PM

No to both. Though nice try Hookbill.

Diamond18 · 09-27-2006, 01:53 AM

Uh, Mithadan? He's from Miami, Florida, I believe.
