Tolkien Terry Slogan?

Friends, Downers, Countrymen. I bring before you a proposition.
Wandering the internet is a tiresome business, even for the avid Tolkien fan. Something has attracted those who stay here now to the cosy, timeless life of Barrow Dwellers. But, what about those unfortunate Tolkien-fans who wander, ever seeking, ever searching for that special forum.
Well, I think we need to get out there and make a stand. The Barrow Downs needs to step up a gear and take a more active advertising campaign.



Yes, this is all, as you may have noticed, complete rubbish. But, hear me out. The most prestigious places and products in the world have their own slogans. For example, British Telecom used to have "It's Good to Talk", MacDonald’s are currently using "I'm lovin' it" (In England, anyway. I'm not so sure about other places). And there are many more.
What I am suggesting is that we put our brains together and think of a slogan to go with the site, or the Forum or what ever you like. They can be silly or sensible.
Here are a few of my own Ideas.

"The Barrow Downs:
The Forum that Knows."

"The Barrow Downs:
Your key to the Middle Earth"

"The Barrow Downs:
The Forum that reads you!"

Have fun!

Thumbs up The Barrow Downs:

- Part of a nutricious breakfast

- Where your dreams may (read: won't) come true.

- None (read: all) of us are on drugs or medication.

- No purchase necessary.

- Yeah, sorry, it was the best we could do.

- Violence? Nudity? Swearing? Pfft! Of course not!

- Rotting corpses? You bet!

- Don't say we didn't warn you.

- We put the 'ack' in Peter Jackson.

- We put the 'olk' in Tolkien

I've been advertising the forum a lot recently, so this thread hits a tender spot on my funny bone.

The Barrowdowns:

- "Is there anyone we can't uncloak?"

- "Question everything."

- "We give it five scars!"

- "A powerhouse of thought with an eerie green glow."

- "--/--/--------/-----/-------!"

- "We're even killing the chat skerwls!"

- "This forum is off topic."

- "We might be dead, but we live it up!"

- "Assigned to Mordor? No problem!"

- "Sleep is for the living."

There could be an essay application to get in:

1.) Balrogs. Wings/No Wings. You have to have at least 1000 words. Go.

2.) If there was a still picture of Pippin screaming while Ugluk was looking at him, how would you caption it?

3.) You are on an island with: Smaug-Elrond-Faramir-Sauron. Who do you vote off?

4.) You are called to exterminate wolves from a village that is near Minas Tirith, now the Island of Werewolves. You are teamed with a Seer, a fellow Hunter and Ranger, and about 15 crazy villagers. How do you do it?

Other Rules:
-Only 8 letters in your Signature.
-Pay the annual Green Box Tax
-Send in seperate application requesting permission to use said Avatar. You will be notified in 6-8 weeks, and there is a 23% accepted rate.

This is somewhat off topic, but if you'll allow me:
I once did a Lord of the Rings exam ie created one. It was as follows:

Quote:
Candidates should attempt any three questions.
The use of Unfinished Tales, The Silmarillion, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings (incl. appendices) is permitted.
The exam will last 90 minutes.

1.Discuss, with reference to the relative authorities to support your argument, who you believe Tom Bombadil was.

2. Balrogs don't have wings. Discuss.

3. After the Witch King perished at the Battle of Pelennor Fields Gothmog took over. Who do you believe Gothmog was?

4. Is the mortality of man a gift?

5. 'Had Deagol not found The One Ring none of this would have happened.' Discuss.

And the slogan?
The Barrow-Downs: you'll do the above in a real exam which you will go on to fail miserably and not care.
