TheGreatElvenWarrior has been trapped in the Barrow!
That was fun. Though, those who were Skyping seemed to have descended into madness by the time that I came 'round.

I shall definitely be doing that again!

The Night of the Kazoo
The cast:

Lottie - narrator
Oddwen - Frodo, zither (?)
Eönwė - Sam, recording engineer
Hookbill - Merry, kazoo, gratuitous sound effects
Laurinquė - Pippin
Pitch - Tom Bombadil
Lommy - Goldberry

All of the above - additional weird sound effects, general mayhem

That would be presupposing we started somewhere else to descend from...

Not to forget Hookbill's musical autobiography; and the light-saber duel in Eönwė's shower; and the Gandalf limericks (utterly unsuitable for publication, alas). And everything else.

On a slightly more canonical note, we discovered that architecture in Middle-earth was way more advanced than is commonly recognized. Has anybody ever noticed that Tom's and Goldberry's home included a penthouse? (Go check, no kidding.)

These sessions sound quite entertaining. I just started getting acquainted with Skype, so perhaps if I can figure it out and there's a next time....

Definitely! You're almost an honorary member, since anyone who can pronounce your name will gratuitously throw it into the conversation somewhere.

Also, om nom nom.

For some strange reason, that doesn't surprise me.

Unsuitable for publication on a family friendly site, you mean. They are perfectly suitable for publication in some place with lesser regulations and a love of uncloaking jokes. And I thought it was his toilet, not his shower...

Oh no, it was definitely lightsabers in the shower. While skydiving.
