Happy Birthday, Nogrod. I'm so glad you're around here, because if you weren't, I'd probably have had to take over the Mead Hall, and you are doing such a superb job that I don't even want to think of the awful job I'd do in your absence! You're ingenious, clever, creative, and a good writer.

Have a great day!

-- Foley

Thanks everyone! It has been a nice day (flu not counting)...

I had a nice dinner with my daughters and the boyfriend of the older one.

... and then we frantically played werewolf with three of us playing on two computers (the laptop net-access falling down every other minute) - and the fourth being the mod of the game and smiling over our shoulders.

Now what does that tell of us?

But it was fun and actually a BD -meeting of sorts even if I don't think us four sitting an evening together like a BD-meeting anymore.


And thanks Foley! I really appreciate that.

But also, the Scarburg Mead Hall wouldn't be the same without you. You're the heart and soul of it, or at least one of the two...

What Agan said. Unless it was inappropriate or dirty.

Scratch that.

Especially if it was inappropriate or dirty.

Formy, you stole my idea to say what Agan said. Happy birthday Nog.

It's amazing how in Finnish you can say so much more than in English in only two words!

Also, as a side note, if you write "Eonwe" into google translate (Finnish to English) it gives you "Eönwë", but if you write "Manwe" it gives you "Mandos", and "Mandos" gives you "Irmo". "Melkor" becomes "Morgoth". So then I tried Finnish 'Downer names, but only "Lomien" came up with something- "holidays".

Haha, yes, actually it would mean holidays', never thought of that before. (Mostly because the pronounciation of lómien is closer to what we would write as "loomien" and which doesn't mean anything...)

They are very long words though... I know Quenya is inspired by Finnish but after meeting Aganzir last year I suspect Entish may be related too...
