I mean if they have flings that must mean not all balrogs live up to the aesthetic standard expected of their angelic order.

You should word it more gently; we aren't sure, but balrogs may have feelings.

Do they have important meetings?
Love Tolkien's teachings?
Do they ever receive greetings?

I doubt it...poor balrogs

The poor Balrogs indeed. Wandering through middle earth without rest; does anyone know if Balrogs have dwellings, or even lodgings?

And a more important question, perhaps, to the dwarves who had to clean Moria after the war; do Balrogs have droppings?

Old Balrog is a-sneezing,
he also was a-retching,
set his house ablazing,
for his lack of aiming.

That would need a little correction of Brinniel's (otherwise wonderful) picture, though we'd first have to prove whether balrogs even have ears first.

Well, I cannot prove whether balrogs have ears (and if I tried we might be here forever), so we'll just have to make do with what we have.

Anyways, assuming that Balrog ears in fact do exist and pretending they are somewhere located below the horns, I made a correction to my photo just for you.

Also, jumping to The Might's idea of spring, I decided to give our Balrog a pretty little flower.

'Cuz you know they ain't got a thing, if they ain't got that swing. The one in Moria had a whip, so he must have had that swing.

As Gandalf was a-thrusting,
and he was a-swinging
with his trusty Glamdring,
Balrog was a-dodging,
and the bridge it was a-cracking,
Balrog was a-falling,
note he was not flying,
although he was a-trying,
and he was a-failing,
for to be a-floating,
or to be a-gliding,
he needs to grow that wing thing.

This has me wondering. If a balrog went to Runza, would he order Frings? Or would he prefer to go somewhere else for some buffalo wings?

Elmo · 11-27-2007, 04:50 AM

whatever was his yearning...

When balrogs visit their balrog friends, do they remember to ring the doorbell, or do they just barge in with no respect for the privacy of other balrogs?

That depends on the balance of the balrog's ying. and it's yang of course

Do balrogs have texting? (caught a glimpse of my cell and couldn't resist)
