Blimey...could I get a mod to delete this thread?

I DID look for it first.

Gwathagor · 04-14-2008, 10:39 PM

I like Lhunardawen's location.

Thank you.

No need to delete, as the idea is good - I'll just merge this one with the existing thread. Please continue reading and posting there - you'll find lots of longtime Downers on it! Alas, some have faded...

Gwathagor · 04-15-2008, 07:14 AM

Oh.

Ok.

Lhunardawen · 05-14-2008, 06:58 AM

Gwathagor's Werewolf Heaven, while a nice idea, has a snowball's chance in hell in existing.

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 06-13-2008, 01:31 PM

I like Aganzir's, It makes me happy! My grandparents have a rock (actually 2) in their backyard that always remind me of Pride Rock...

Thanks.

I'm a fan of the Lion King, but I also like it that the name can be interpretted in other ways.

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 06-15-2008, 11:41 PM

My favourite movie when I was little was the Lion King! My mom told me that I watched it everyday twice a day when I was two...

TGEW's 'Amidst the Halobacterium salinarum'... Are you a Bio major, by any chance?

No actually, I've never taken Biology, that happens in tenth grade, I'm going into ninth... But I did take a class called ecology and we basically studied creek life, my friend did a project on marshes I think, she talked about Halobacterium salinarum and I like saying it, it just rolls off of the tongue! I didn't think that anybody would know what Halobacterium salinarum was... or is.
But I distinctively remember her and I talking about which type of marsh that Dead Marshes and The Midgewater Marshes were though...

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 07-05-2008, 07:58 PM

I rather like sally's

Groin Redbeard · 09-09-2008, 12:42 PM

I burst out laughing when I saw Gwathagor's location. Why are you battling those moops, Gwathagor, and who are they?

Gwathagor · 09-09-2008, 02:01 PM

It is a reference to an episode of Seinfeld wherein "Moors" is misspelled "Moops" on a Trival Pursuit card. And, obviously, one fights the Moors. So...my location.

McCaber · 09-09-2008, 05:27 PM

I enjoy Hookbill's most recent location. It pleased my geek side.

Well I was planning on changing my sig soon, even though Volo likes it so much. But I don't think I'd taste very good if you know what I mean... Maybe I'm in the teapot that is in my avatar... Oh wait I didn't go in that teapot, I just took a picture of it...

Groin Redbeard · 09-16-2008, 02:16 PM

Volo's location made me laugh, and although I'm sure it's and inside joke, it is the funniest one I've seen in a while.

Lindale · 09-17-2008, 08:18 AM

Lhuna's reminds me of the philosophy of language class back in my first year. I'm never really good at wordplay.

And Volo's makes me laugh, and I agree with Groin that it has a deeper meaning.

TGEW, how can a great elven warrior fit into a teapot?

Very carefully!

Oh yes, Groin, were studying the Civil War in History currently, when the South seceded from the Union. I wonder if something to that nature will happen again anytime soon...

Massachusetts almost did, seven years prior to the firing on Fort Sumter when they were required by law to return a slave called Athony Burns back to his plantation owner.

Well I like to think of it in this was: "Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

Just so that I'm not not the cause of a nasty chat squirrel

, Gwathagor, what does your location mean? It sounds like something out of the Illiad.

Gwathagor · 11-13-2008, 02:16 PM

Nothing so sophisticated, I fear. Cyrodiil is the central and chief province of the continent of Tamriel, from the Elder Scrolls video games. I'm playing TES IV: Oblivion right now, so...hence my location.

Groin Redbeard · 11-26-2008, 12:12 PM

Has anyone nominated Folwren's location yet? I remember seeing it when I first joined the Downs and I thought that it was nice. Now after more than a year it still remains the same (I like things that don't change). Gotta love those small towns.

Hookbill the Goomba · 11-26-2008, 05:06 PM

Groin Redbeard, I thought I told you to stay away from my table! I'm not letting you near that thing. Not after LAST TIME!

Don't worry Hookbill, I wouldn't come and eat at your table if you begged me and it's especially because of last time: the rubber chicken, the inflatable raft, Alien and the carving knife!

Thanks Hookbill, you cracked me up, again!

Laurinque's -

"In the only barrow with a tree on the top"

I can't help thinking about it to the tune of "Surrey With the Fringe on the Top" from Oklahoma.

Aganzir · 12-23-2008, 07:13 AM

I like Gwath's

Quote:

El Laberinto del Fauno

It's a wonderful movie.

Gwathagor · 12-23-2008, 02:41 PM

It's my favorite movie since Gladiator, which says something about my taste in movies: sad and beautiful, lots of blood, main character dies at the end and passes into an afterlife. Hmm.

Groin Redbeard · 01-14-2009, 04:33 PM

I use to wonder what LittleManPoet's location meant, after all you don't spell fairy "Faery." But now that I have read the HoME series I really think that it was quite clever of him. Love your location LMP, the best on the Downs.

Bêthberry · 04-26-2009, 02:01 PM

The musical notes in Groin's location are a sharp addition to the mere alphabet code which the rest of us use.
