What if's, franchises, and humor - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Ever ponder those "What If's" that you wish you could see the outcome to? Ever have any ideas about the kind of merchandise that could be created? Any humorous thoughts? I'd like to know them.

Example: Cars

If Frodo had to drive the ring to Mordor he would ride in this. With a V-6 engine and 6 cylinders the Ford 4x4 Ringbearer....He's not the only one who carries it.

This thread topic, as a humorous one, is most appropriate on the Middle-Earth Mirth forum - I'm moving it there, where those interested may read and post on it.

Ok, I have a couple.

~ Tanks
Both sides would definately use these at Pellenor Fields. It might even make things a little more even. Although there would probably be more orcs than tanks, the Gondarian soldiers would have no trouble running them all over.

~Teflon Pans
The Hobbits would definately see this as a much needed improvement to their muchly overused kitchens. No sticking, no scrubbing, so they can spend more time eating then cleaning up.

I got something better than a car. A helicopter! Frodo can hover over Mt. Doom, drop the ring in, and fly back. Also, for the Nazgul, fireproof vests!
