POST NUMBER ONE THOUSAND!!!!!


Frodo loved the shire so much because of his many lovers in the woods. He was constantly making secret rendevous in Farmer Maggot's fields, and loved to steal mushrooms for his lovers.

-----------------------------------

Why did Celeborn want to stay in Middle-Earth, even when Galadriel was leaving?

Celeborn never did like Galadriel. He thought she and Elrond were talking way too much for a mother-in-law and her son-in-law. He was glad to see her go. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

What was the hottest trend going on in Middle-Earth before the War of the Ring?

Harry Feet, it was totally cool to have your feet serve as brooms wherever you went.

Why did Faramir decide to move to Ithilien, rather than staying in Minas Tirith or going to Rohan?

He went to Ithilien because he wanted to get rid of his wife. He was sure she'd leave him and go to Minas Tirith to be close to Aragorn or to Rohan to be at least at home.

Let's see...I'm going to put this in the most easy way possible. Once again, and as usual, the little Fool of a Took got himself stuck down a well while in Buckland one day. Merry just happened to come along and fall down as well. It took about 3 Hobbits to pull the two out, and they've been friends ever since! {Those two...you can't take them anywhere.}

Entmoot, this thread is asking for wrong answers. It's a great way of showing off one's creativity or just plain weirdness. And of course one does not have to wait for confirmation because any answer will do EXCEPT the correct one. So answer, then ask...Care to try again?
Also, welcome to the Downs. Hope to see lots of posts.

They were on a halloween party, all dressed in long black robes. When thy went out to play trick or treats everyone was so scared and they loved it so that they thought well why not keep doing this? After some months of running out in the wilderness without any food because everyone they met was too scarced to give some to them they became thinner and thinner and finally looked like they do today.

How did Gandalf get one of the Elven Rings?

He picked Círdan's pocket, earning him the not-so-well-known nickname, "Gandalf the Sticky-Fingered."

I'll try my other question again (wrong answer please):

What was the name of Pippin's wife?

Everyone got tired of calling him 'Pippin Thor Battleaxe, Tamer of Dragons' which (as we all well know) is his given name.

Just who is Haldir of Lorien better known as?

*Just had to say I love that answer, Eomer [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]. And hiya Mintyztwin, haven't seen you around in a while!*

Haldir is better known as "Glorfindel's Evil Twin Cousin". (Don't ask why, the genealogy is hard to explain).

So he could pick their pockets, find their bank details, and scam thousands and thousands of dollars from them.

Well, it spent an eternity of wandering in the gloom, but I think the answer you're looking for is the dogtrack. He had placed some bets before the whole, unpleasantness, and he didn't want to see them go to waste.

What I want to know is why Fatty Bolger really didn't go on the quest

He was too busy being a bookie on the outcome of the war against Sauron. Unfortunatly, (I can't spell) he didn't believe Frodo would ever really make it, so he lost big when Farmer Maggot and the Cottons came to pick up their winnings.

****************************************

What were the odds Fatty was giving (taking?) on Sauron winning?

42 to 1. But then again, the Bolgers was just plain odd, so the odds could have been Fatty to Estella.

Fashion statement. Everybody who's anybody has pointy ears in ME, except the men, and who wants to be like them? So the hobbits started the foot-hair fad to be different.


Why did Aragorn fall in love with Arwen anyway?

WHAT?!?!?

. . . okay . . . if you want to be random, I'm okay with that! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

There was a Balrog in Moria because he was babysitting all of Sauron's little orcs. Those orcs can be such brats at time! Little did the Fellowship know that the Balrog was just angry with the stupid little orcs for disappearing from the nursery when he had specifically told them to stay there so he could watch "As Arda Turns" and "General Mayhem".

What was Sauron's favorite passtime?
