I see we're in the footsteps of Eärendil here.

Squatter - you have the right of it.

Carry on!

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 07-11-2003, 01:23 PM

Right you are.

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 07-11-2003, 04:23 PM

That's the place all right.

piosenniel · 07-14-2003, 10:48 AM

Traveling through?

Exchange the lira in Ecig Rd.

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 07-14-2003, 11:42 AM

I pity anyone whose journey takes them through Helcaraxë, the Grinding Ice

piosenniel · 07-14-2003, 01:19 PM

It's the Elf whose helmet reaches the parts that no others can, the Gothmog slayer himself ...

You have the right of it, Saucepan.

**The Saucepan Man** · 07-15-2003, 05:41 PM

Why thank you, Squatter. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Between takes on the set - Viggo/'Aragorn' was known as a ribald ham.

Beren87 · 07-22-2003, 06:45 PM

How about that lovely, lively, river Bralda-Him, otherwise known as the Baraduin?

All the other Dwarves made fun of little, laam Dalin, for his odd walk.

I think that one's Malinalda. More familiarly Laurelin.

Beren87 · 07-27-2003, 09:28 AM

Absolutely correct, Squatter. The thread is yours.

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 07-27-2003, 11:12 AM

Thanks, Beren.

In order to keep himself from being spotted, Gollum vainly kept himself v. astern of the Fellowship.

As Boromir floated down the River, his companions sang the dirge t' him.

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 08-05-2003, 05:43 AM

I think this one's Thrimidge, the fifth month of the Shire year.

piosenniel · 08-06-2003, 05:00 PM

Indeed, Squatter!

Your turn . . .

Grendel gives his job description: I lug Danes

Arestevana · 08-07-2003, 10:07 AM

That would be Esgalduin, correct?

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 08-07-2003, 12:29 PM

Absolutely, Arestevana. Your turn.

Overheard at the Port of Harlond when the Umbrian tried to unload his cargo under the new tax laws:
