Ask a stupid question

What was Bandobras Bullroarer Took's favourite sport before golf came about?

Foxy boxing. Few people know this, but part of the reason for such large hobbit families is that many male hobbits go to underground foxy boxing matches and come home very aroused.

Legolas loved himself very much. And he wanted to show it. But society encourages modesty and discourages arrogance. Little is it known that Lord of the White Tree is one of Legolas' titles.

Little is it know that he actually got paid to marry her. In all actuality it was a good sum of cash becuase no one else wanted to deal with her.

12 Dwarves got good meals 3 times a day, but all Gloin ever got was piles of sour grapes.

When it was time to choose, Elros put a gun to Elrond's head and told him to choose Elf. "I don't want to stay forever in this world", he said, "and I don't want you following me outside of it." So Elrond chose Elf.

Why is going across Rohan known as going across the Riddermark?

[dreeness]

Why is going across Rohan known as going across the Riddermark?

Oh, because in the middle of Rohan there is a mark, that they just couldn't get ridder.


(And if that seems lame, bear in mind that you easily might've had a "Rindsay Rohan" gag instead, and nobody wants that.)


Why was the Arkenstone highly prized?

[MCRmyGirl4eva]

Why was the Arkenstone highly prized?

Not because it was of any real monetary value, but because all dwarves share a passion for things that are sparkly. Unfortunately, as no one has yet found a way to steal the Arkenstone from iddle-Earth and rid our world of Edward Cullen by giving him to the dwarves, we are still plauged by strange sparkling creaturs thjat are deluded that they are vampires, and the dwarves prize the Arkenstone as the epitome of all things sparkly.

Because it just wanted to be loved and noticed. (Though of course it didn't seem to realize that cruelty wasn't the right way to go about this voyage)

Why did the Balrog come after the Company?

He wanted to ask them if they knew where he put his hearing aid. The poor old chap lost it somewhere in his large dwelling and was hoping that the strangers saw it on their way. Unfortunately, without the hearing aid, the Balrog could not hear Gandalf's "you cannot pass".

Who said he was old? Maybe he is really young, a reincarnation that remembers his past lives.

Why does Elrond remember 3,000 years ago and then some?

[Galadriel55]

Originally Posted by crescendo.

After about 100,000 years of life it's understandable that his memory begins to falter, so he only remembers the last three thousand of them or so.

Catwoman and her feline minions, of course! What else could they possibly be?

Why did Elladan and Elrohir save their mother, rather than Elrond saving his wife?

[Galadriel55]

Oh but you see, Elrond actually didn't have a wife. He had a love affair with Celebrian that was hidden from common knowledge. It would not look well for him to go to her rescue, but it would be ok for the twins.


How are Arwen and Aragorn related?

[MCRmyGirl4eva]

How are Arwen and Aragorn related?

They are first cousins. Though a first-cousin marriage is legal in the ME equivalent of Massachusetts (which would be Rivendell), it is frowned upon and considered disgusting. Therefore, that is why they wedded in the ME equivalent of Mississippi(Gondor), where it is technically illegal, but nobody cares and so they lived happily incestuous.

How old is Eowyn?

This is a little-known fact, but Eowyn is an Entwife in disguise. She is actually the daughter of Fangorn, and thus she is many tens of thousands of years old.

Quickly and painlessly?

Alright, alright. He, ahh, he thought he would try parachuting off Meneltarma. But while he was flying in the air, an Eagle of Manwe took him for, well, someone other than Elros...

Why do hobbits have hairy feet?

[MCRmyGirl4eva]

Why do hobbits have hairy feet?

They actually don't. The thing is, since they don't have brains enough to wear shoes, they have wigs for their feet to keep them warm. They glue them on, then can't take them off in summer when their feet are too hot.

So that he could find it and place its location on Mapquest, so that Boromir would eventually find it too.

Why did Eowyn turn into a happy little angel when she had Faramir's love?

[Galadriel55]

The whole trick is that Faramir's love has a few side effects; for example, whenever someone has it they are drowsy, may have an upset stomach, and always turn into a happy little angel.
