Lord of The Rings on Flying Moose! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Elendur · 02-19-2002, 04:59 AM

This great team of guys has decided to copy The Lord of The Rings onto the internet. Though there are some SUBTLE changes in the text here and there, it is basically just as Tolkien wrote it! I suggest looking at The Bridge of Khazad-Dum chapter. It is excellent. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

This is a joke, right? The chapter titles are right out of 'Bored of the Rings.'

A Long Expected Parting;
The Shadow of the Pest;
A Conspiracy Undressed;
A Stab in the Back;

And my Fave: Many Margaritas!

LOL!

The Birdbath of Galadriel?????

Ok, ok, someone is pulling my leg. Now I get it. Now, may we have these miscreants drawn and quartered now? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Hah. You have to look pretty closely at that map to really get it.

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-19-2002, 08:30 AM

Even better are the "Tolkien Crackpot Theories" in the same website. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Sherlock Holmes of Middle-Earth: Herlock Sholmes meets Bored of the Rings and has a party. Brilliant.

I looked, but I didn't see.... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] Could you explain a bit further, please! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

It's based on a map of the east coast on North America, flipped east-to-west.

LúthienTinúviel · 02-22-2002, 11:21 AM

Has anyone read the Very Secret Diaries of People from the Fellowship and other characters? They're hilarious! I almost died when I read some of them. I found them on anothr board I'm on (yes yes, an Elijah Wood board if you must know, but I spend most of the time yelling at little girls to be respectful and not homophobic...I swear! I think I've prevented several stalkings.. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] ) Anyway...I'll post the link..I think you can view it without being a member, but if you can't, let me know and I'll repost them here.

Very Secret Diaries

Namárië,
Lúthien

LúthienTinúviel · 02-22-2002, 11:22 AM

Very Secret Diaries

LúthienTinúviel · 02-22-2002, 11:24 AM

AAAAHHHHHH!!!! Not working!!! Alright. Try copying and pasting. Post here and I'll check back. If it doesn't work lemme know. I'll repost them here.

Many apologies for my idiocy. It's inherent. Nothing I can do about it. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Namárië,
Lúthien

Sindalómiel · 02-23-2002, 04:30 AM

I LOVE the Very Secret Diaries. You can buy t-shirts from it now, I SO want "Aloof, Unavailable Elf Princess". Or possibly "Still the Prettiest".
