Do you think there should have been a contrivance to pre-empt the Eagles question?
Sauron had all the Eagles on a no-fly list because of their radical terrorist inclinations to eat his minions.

Saruman's Pits
...used to cause him all sorts of embarrassment. Now he uses Isengard™, and like fog on the Barrow-downs, his troubles have melted away.

Themed searches are a great inspiration.
What (or who) am I talking about (I don't even know half the time!) - you were giving a speech about Alzheimer's Club.
I can't remember the last time I laughed this hard - It's okay. I understand. Welcome to Alzheimer's Club. when did you read lotr for the first time? - I read it when... wait, what did you ask? Why is LOTR the best fantasy novel of our time? - No it isn't. I just finished reading this other fantasy novel that's much better, but I can't remember which one it was. Who or what am I talking about (I don't even know myself half the time) 2 - as I said, you were giving a speech about Alzheimer's Club. Its that time of year again - which one is it now? I forgot. What time is it? - that time. Of the year. See? I actually remembered.

Noob Needs help *sigh* Thoughts stuck in your head repeating over and over again - Why not start a thread? The Nazgûl: Proof that you can't go home again? Pretty conclusive proof, I'd say...

Sex Amongst the Maiar (and the Other Beings in Arda)
As the eldest children of Iluvatar begin to hit puberty, they start experimenting behind their fathers back. He was so busy making music he neglected to give them "the talk" before sending them off to live independently. Ah, the consequences of bad parenting!

Narmer the Numenorean
Historical records indicate that was Boromir, Son of Denethor II's, favourite childhood book. A well-connected denizen of the Far Harad, Petteramuz Jacksenu, tried to adapt it for "drama", but was sadly eaten by an ill-tempered oliphaunt at the start of production.

New evidence found for the riddle of the West Gate: new first-hand witnesses attest to the Gate's presence, further supporting the theory that the mysterious Gate both exists and does not exist simultaneously.

Who Cleared the Redhorn Pass?
Oh! That was Barden Hammerfoot of the Mindolluin Marauders in the 2267 Rhovanion Cup. They lost, of course, to the Carn Dûm Carcaroths, but it was one heckuva game.
