Gandalf witnesses what awaits him for his sinful 'uncloaking' habit.

Having been a constant source of annoyance to the other members of the fellowship, Gandalf was forced to walk the plank. (aka destroyed bridge of khazad-dûm)

Despite the Fellowship's warnings, the Balrog salesman really did get to Gandalf.
Gandalf: You're right! Your Fiery-Whip-Light does make my stafflight seem unsubstantial....

Legolas: Urg! Balrog breath!
OR Aragorn's lack of washing really began to go too far.

Merrivere, we usually like to leave each picture for at least 20 replies before moving on. It's an unwritten law of sorts.
But, anyway... Sam is unsuspecting as Rosie prepares to throw a bucket of slugs over him as an April fools. OR Despite her attempts to get his attention, Sam was too distracted by the interestingly shaped crisp to even notice Rosie.

Rosie: Happy anniversary, Sam.

Rosie tries to distract everyone while her miniature pterodactyl tries to escape in a small paper lamp.

Rules
I was always under the impression, either real or imagined, that it was 20 too. However in looking back on the thread, post 1862 , the B-W does say it's 10. There are also some other rules that appear a bit out of date and not as applicable now that we don't have the same bandwidth issues as we had back in 2003 (or so I'm told as I haven't been around that long). Some of the rules that still are applicable, in my opinion, are:
1) Pictures must not be borrowed from the bandwidth of other sites. (No hotlinking) 2) Pictures must be no larger than 100K in file size. 3) Pictures must be related to Tolkien's works. 4) Captions will not be vulgar, religious, political, or otherwise inappropriate. You know what I mean. 5) Anyone can post a caption or picture. I wonder if we should set the standard at 20 captions between pictures or if 10 to 15 is more realistic. As somebody who has posted a fair share of pictures I find it difficult to find good pictures and then to only see 10 captions can be irritating and doesn't allow enough time. Let's set it at 20 unless an admin directs otherwise. In an attempt to avoid clutter on this board PM me if you have questions, comments or suggestions about this please.

I can't see the Rosie/Sam pic at all...all I can guess at is
Rosie: DO THE WAVE FOR BOROMIR THE DISCO KING! Sam: Not again... The Leggy pic... Gandalf's uncloaking antics become too much for this poor elf.

Here's the picture that we can't see. Let's use the last two, the Leggy picture and this picture and go 20 from there.

Rosie just kept smiling and pretended that her hands were not stuck in tree top. . .

Juding by the reactions of those around her, Rosie was able to perceive that she had forgotten to put on deodorant again.

Sam was becoming annoyed. He loved Rosie dearly, but her cheerleading antics had gone on far enough. It seemed to Sam that the hobbit lass clearly did not understand that one is not supposed to cheer during a chess match.

Samwise had no idea Rosie was a female wrestler, but from how she just turned Ted Sandyman 'on his head', it was obvious she had a great deal of experiance. (Needless to say this entire prospect was actually quite a deal more frightening for now grounded Ted Sandyman.)

48 hour rule
If a caption goes for 48 hours since the last post and it's not to the 20 caption total it's safe to assume that t may be a difficult picture to caption and could be replaced at that point.

Rosie starts dancing.
Rosie: Sam, don't you want to dance with me? Sam: no, darling, i have something else to do. I have to fix the last thing you broke when you danced. Sam (under his breath): and besides, your breath stinks. |

"Not asking me to dance this time, too?!" Thought a crazed Rosie Cotten while lifting a heavy barrel of lagger into the air and sending the hobbits around her running in fear. "We'll see who'll just sit around and have another ale instead! Mwahaha!"
