The Round-About Game
Welcome to the Round-About Game! In this thread, players try to link two seemingly unrelated topics in a 'round-about' way. Ok, that didn't make sense, did it? Let me explain again....
THE ROUND-ABOUT GAME I'll start you off. One person (in this case, me) will provide two people, places, objects, or ideas, (at least one of which must be ME related) and you, the viewer, must figure out how they relate to each other. WARNING- this may take some thought. I'm just pulling two random thoughts out of that scary, untamed place called my mind. The topics may be anything from Smeagol to cherry yogurt. Hey, that sounds like an example! EXAMPLE- (I will say) From Cherry Yogurt to Smeagol (You will come up with something like) Cherry yogurt is pink. Roses are pink. Rosie Cotton is named after a rose. Rosie married Samwise. Samwise went to Mordor with Frodo, who was guided by SMEAGOL!! See? You get from point A to point B in a ROUND-ABOUT sort of way! If you like, you may suggest your own round-about topic after you answer a previous one. ALL ENTRIES, TOPICS AND ANSWERS, MUST BE APPROPRIATE! THAT MEANS NO VULGER LANGUAGE CONTENT OR THE SO-CALLED 'POTTY HUMOR'! GOT THAT? Okay then. FIRST TOPIC- From zebras to Arwen Go for it! Have fun, and good luck! ~Maegaladiel, the nearsighted elf |
I do this all the time! Good idea by the way! Now, let's see zebras to Arwen, that shouldn't be to hard....
Zebras are four-hooved creatures and Bill the pony was a four hooved creature, he was with Sam, who was with Frodo, who was taken to Rivendell by.... Arwen! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] There was a shorter route (horses=Asfoloth=Arwen), but that was to easy! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Here's another one! SECOND TOPIC~ Purple flowers to Mithrandir(Gandalf) Let's see how you handle that! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] |
Ok- I'll give it a try... purple flowers grow in gardens, gardens are planted by gardeners, gardeners like spend time outside, outside is where animals live, radagast likes animals, Radagast is of Gandalfs order!
Ok, that was kinda pathetic ^.^ Heres mine Chocolate to Eowyn |
You like it! *sniff sniff* You really like it!
Great job, guys!It was NOT pathetic, SilverEmbers! You were brilliant! Let's see... Chocolate to Eowyn... Mmmmm... Chocolate... Chocolate comes in foil. 'Foil' is the second half of Kingsfoil. Kingsfoil is a plant used by Aragorn to heal Faramir. Faramir falls in love with Eowyn! Yippie! Ok, here's one: From tennis shoes to Boromir ~Maegaladiel [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [ May 15, 2003: Message edited by: Maegaladiel ] |
Yay! Im officialy brilliant! This game is fun!
Lets see, tennis shoes are worn for tennis, which is played with a racket, tennis rackets look like snowshoes, snowshoes are used to walk on snow, snow comes in blizzards, blizzards happen on Carahdras (sp?) the fellowship crosses Caradhras, boromir is in the fellowship! Yay! FOURTH TOPIC- Teddy bears to aragorn! ^.^ |
Fun! I love this kind of stuff! Let's see here....
Teddy bears are normaly kept by children, hobbits are the size of human children, Merry is a hobbit, Merry knows Aragorn.... TADA!!! Did I mention this is fun?! TOPIC FIVE!!! Pink fingernail polish to Hobbit songs I'm crazy, I know, I know..... |
This is fun. Here goes: Pink Fingernail Polish to Hobbit Songs
Pink fingernail polish comes in a bottle. Ale sometimes comes in a bottle. Hobbits like to drink ale. Sometimes when they drink too much ale they sing silly Hobbit Songs. Next Topic - The Zoo to Gimli |
Zoos are places where you can find bears. Bears live in caves. Dwarves live in caves. Gimli is a dwarf.
Slippers to the Battle of Pellenor Fields [ May 15, 2003: Message edited by: Meela ] |
I choose number two!
Dol Amroth. Was that easy enough or what! NEXT TOPIC!!! Snowshoes to Azog(the orc that killed Thror, a king of dwarven folk) |
ok... scrap no. 2.
[ May 15, 2003: Message edited by: Meela ] |
Sorry I'll be back!
|
Apologies for messing around.
Oh, and it should in fact be Finduilas to Faramir, not Eowyn. My mistake. And its not mother-to-son. There's a longer link. I won't go into it. I'm the one who collects the obscure information. It gets me into weird situations... [ May 15, 2003: Message edited by: Meela ] |
I shall try again! I had all the information typed up and posted, but it seems Meela, that all that showed up, was Dol Amroth. Sorry about that. Let me explain.
Finduilas is daughter of Adrahil of Dol Amroth, Lothiriel is daughter of Imrahil, also of Dol Amroth, Lothiriel was wed to Eomer, Eomer is brother of Eowyn, Eowyn was wed to Faramir. As I said eariler, Dol Amroth! Though not six steps, there are other, more abstract ways to conect the two.... Finduilas was ".... as a flower of the seaward vales set upon a barren rock. The shadow in the east filled her with horror, and she turned her eyes ever south to the sea that she missed.", the sea was the subject of the song of Legolas', Legolas was a part of the FOTR, Boromir was also a member of the FOTR, Boromir was brother to Faramir, Faramir was wed to Eowyn. That got you as far as Eowyn, hope that was understandable! PM me if not! (good question by the way) Continuing on.... NEXT TOPIC!!! Snowshoes to Azog(the orc that killed Thror, a king of dwarven folk) |
No takers? Fine I'll struggle on alone.
Snowshoes are, well, shoes, and shoes are worn on feet, except for hobbits, they don't wear shoes, hobbits are short, like the dwarven folk, the dwarven folk went to war with Azog. There, was that so hard now? Here's a new one, we won't be so hard on the lonely people now will we, Oh no, we will be nice yes we willsssss. I'm done. Topic, Next: Green Fuzzy Slippers to Saruman |
Green Fuzzy Slippers to Saruman.
Generally, people wear fuzzy slippers (at least sometimes green) when they are lounging around, such as when they've just woken up. In the "Movie Bloopers" thread, I made a joke in which Saruman has just woken up when he sees the Ents outside. Of course he was wearing green fuzzy slippers. Next topic. John Grisham to Pippin. |
I would conect them if I knew who that was [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] , me in my ignorance. And you're supposed to connect them in a "round about" way, go the long way around, not the short-cut, stay at the inn! Frodo won't mind!
|
John Grisham is a writer. He uses a computer (work with me here). Computers connect to the Internet. Barrow-Downs is on the Internet. The Barrow-Downs is a site about Lord of the Rings. Lord of the Rings tells about Faramir. Faramir is the name of Pippin's son.
Here's one: Toothpicks and Éomer [ May 16, 2003: Message edited by: Rynoah, the Overly-Happy ] |
Toothpicks are long, thin, and pointy. As are spears. Eomer uses a spear.
Market stalls to Mt. Doom. Quote:
|
Market Stalls to Mt. Doom. Hmm Lets see...
Market stalls sometimes sell handmade things. The Ring was handmade. In Mt Doom! [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] Next topic: Fax machines to Galadriel |
Okie-Dokie, Fax Machines to Galadriel...
Fax Machines send messages from one person to another. The Palantir sends messages from one person to another. Saruman had a Palantir. Saruman sent Uruk-Hai to Helm's Deep. Haladir fought Uruk Hai at Helm's Deep. Haladir was an elf. He came from Lorien. Galadriel was from Lorien!!! NEXT TOPIC Cottage cheese to Gil-Galad |
Cottage Cheese to Gil-Gilad? No worries!
Cottage cheese is well, a cheese. Cheese is made from cows. Cows are found in the shire. Sam also comes from the shire. Sam recited some of the "Fall of Gil-Galad" (well the translation anyway.). The Fall of Gil-Galad was about.. Gil-Galad surprisingly. TA-DA!!!! Grand Pianos to Shelob. Ha, go figure that one out. |
Fax machines send messeges to people far away quickly and Galadriel is one of the few people in ME able to do that.
|
Hm..grand pianos to shelob...ok, Grand pianos are musical intruments, musical intruments make music, singing is music, Kementari sang to make the Two Trees, the two trees were killed by ungoliant mother of SHELOB!
I luv this game NEXT TOPIC- Ball point pens to PAths of the dead lol |
Quote:
OK, ball point pens to the paths of the dead, this should be fun. Ball point pens are, well, pens, you write with pens, Bilbo wrote a book about his journeys with a pen, Frodo read that book, Frodo went with Aragorn on their quest to destroy the ring, Aragorn went through the paths of the dead! Yeah me! Let's see here.... sporks to the elven brooches given to the fellowship at Lothlorien [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] |
0.0 sporks? ok this should be fun...
sporks are plastic, plastic is used to make Fika trees, fika trees have leaves, the elven broaches from lothlorien are the shape of leaves! Yay! NEXT TOPIC- white-out to the entmoot. this should be interesting |
WoW! You're good at this!
White out is white, [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] , white is a color, green is a color, leaves are green, the Ents have leaves, the Ents were at the Entmoot [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] ! Let's see here... Hairpins to Aragorns sword Have fun! |
Wheee! My topic is actually LIKED!!
Okay, white out to entmoot. This should be interesting... White-Out is like Liquid Paper. Paper is made of trees. Ents look like trees. Ents go to Entmoot. That wasn't especially drawn-out and "round-about", but whaddaya gonna do, fire me? Oh wait, better not give anyone ideas. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] Whoops, someone just did that. So I'll do Arfangwen's topic. HAIRPINS TO ARAGORN'S SWORD Hairpins hold hair. Glorfindel's name means "Golden Hair". Glorfindel saved Frodo from the Nasgul. (AT LEAST HE WAS SUPPOSED TO!!!) Aragorn was supposedly protecting Frodo. Aragorn has a sword! Yay! This is fun! NEXT TOPIC- From James Bond to Barliman Butterburr Now THIS should be interesting... [ May 16, 2003: Message edited by: Maegaladiel ] |
Hairpins > long hair > elves > elven smiths (oh no im there already) > Rings of Power > Dwarves of Erebor > Black Messenger > Horse > Rohan > Meduseld > Guards of the Golden Hall > Anduril
Is that roundabout enough for you James Bond > Spy > Grima Wormtongue > Palantir > Gandalf (cant do it yet) > Saruman > Pipeweed > Shire > Eriador > Rangers of the North > Aragorn > Prancing Pony > Butterbur Hows that?? Mine: Rolex Watch - Figwit |
I could be easy and say James Bond is a man and so is Barliman Butterbur... but thats dull.
Or James Bond was in Goldeneye as was Sean Bean. Sean Bean plays a character named Boromir who met Aragorn, who met Barliman Butterbur. Someone else can do the amusing and unexpected version. Next one: Elvis Presley to Celeborn. |
Elvis to celeborn! LOl- i can just see Celeborn dancing around singin "aint nothing but a hound dog....hmm, lemme see...
Elvis is called the king, and celeborn is king of lothlorien! lol, no thats dull.... Elvis was abducted by aliens (supposedly-according to some people, lol) aliens live in another world, middle earth is a another world, lothlorien is in middle earth, Celeborn is ruler of lothlorien NEXT TOPIC scuba-diving to Grishnak |
Scuba Diving takes place underwater. Underwater sometimes involves going under the land. Under the land is underground. The caverns of Isengard are underground. The caverns of Isengard are overseen by Saruman. Grishnack works for Saruman.
Salted peanuts to Luthien Tinuviel. |
Quote:
Rolex watch, well, that's a watch, a watch tells time, time is precious, Golum called the ring his "precious", the ring was taken to the counsel of Elrond, Figwit was at the counsel of Elrond. Yippie!!! ---------------------- Salted peanuts to Luthien Tinuviel. Ok, I can do this! Salted peanuts are a food, people eat food, elves are a form of people, Luthien Tinuviel was an elf! That was kinda boring [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] .... Ok, next topic Denethor to a keyboard(just to prove that things can be converted from LOTR to the real world[whatever that is]) |
Denethor is the father of Boromir, who knew Frodo, who is the main character in The Lord of the Rings, LOTR was handwritten on paper,the manuscript was typed on a typewriter, a typewriter is an early form of the keyboard.
Thus Denethor>Boromir>Frodo>LOTR>handwritte n manuscript>typewriter>keyboard. Phew! that was hard! Now: Elves to a Calendar( Where did that come from?) Namarie |
Now: Elves to a Calendar
A calendar has dates. Faramir and Éowyn dated (somewhat). Faramir captured Frodo and Sam earlier. Frodo and Sam knew Boromir before he died. Boromir went to Rivendell to get information on a dream. Rivendell is home of Elrond. Elrond is an elf. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Screwdrivers to Woses |
Alright!
Screwdrivers are a tool, tools are used to build things like weapons, weapons are used by people, Woses are people! How about some crazy-ness here people?! Blue slushies to Galadriels mirror That should keep you busy! |
Blue slushies to Galadriel's mirror.
Blue slushies have ice in them, ice is frozen water, galadriel puored water into the mirror! OK, that wasn't so round-about, but that's the best I can do right now. Next: Purple elephants to Arwen |
Purple elephants are non-existent, so are elves! But that's not fun, so I'll go another way around.
Purple elephants are purple(duh! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] ), purple dosn't rhyme with anything I can think of right now, so we'll just say that it's a color, colors are pretty, dresses are pretty, Arwen wears dresses! Will someone more creative than me please haunt this with me? Alrighty then! Mallorn trees to digital cameras |
Mallorn trees to digital cameras
Mallorn trees are trees. Trees make wood. Wood makes houses and buildings. People take picture of these kinda of theings with digital cameras Trash cans to Aragorn |
OOps, I cross posted with two people
Purple elephants are related to Oliphants (I think), Faramir fought Southeners with Oliphants, Faramir is Boromir's brother, Boromir was in the Fellowship, Aragorn was in the Fellowship too, Aragorn married Arwen. Thus: Purple elephants>Oliphants>Faramir>Boromir> Fellowship>Aragorn>Arwen Trash Cans to Aragorn Some trash cans are plastic, plastic is replacing metal in many places, a kind of metal is steel, swords are made of steel, Aragorn had a sword. Thus: Trash cans>Plastic>metal>steel>swords >Aragorn Next: Clowns to Legolas [ May 16, 2003: Message edited by: Novlamothien ] [ May 16, 2003: Message edited by: Novlamothien ] [ May 16, 2003: Message edited by: Novlamothien ] |
Trash cans to Aragorn:
trash cans are usually made of black plastic, black is a color, blue is a color, Sting glows blue, Sting is a sword, Narsil is a sword, Aragorn's sword is Narsil! much better then last time. my brain is working now! YAY! ok Monkey toes to Orthanc edit: oops! I'm very sorry but I can't think of anything for clowns>legolas. I guess my brain isn't working as well as I thought.
