LOTR related illnesses or injuries - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Good bump up

I must have some injuries myself, but the first thing that comes to mind is one I inflicted on someone else, when I stood on Tom Shippey's toes, heh. I was laughing and not paying attention and stepped back onto him - I was embarrassed and he was very gracious

I also greeted Tolkien's grand-daughter while partaking of the brewer's finest so I inflicted a load of beer and tobacco breath on her.

I got shot in the forearm- not a direct shot, but a ricochet. Still, that was about 15 years ago, and the scar hasn't faded yet. It looks like a minor battle wound, inflicted by some nasty, jagged orc weapon.

Welcome to the Downs, electrichobbit! Great thread...

Except for the obvious psychological imbalances that have caused me to do such things as buy a sword and shoot the bow, I haven't suffered any lasting damage that I can remember (even from said weapons). Even my three cats, all of whom find the archery target immensely interesting and bear no fear for the bow, have escaped thus far.

I got the Black Breath by walking past a laundry that uses too much Downy.

Somebody, please. Take me to the houses of healing so Strider can call my name.

Hmm. No German Downers here sporting schläger scars? What could be more LotR than a sword wound?
