Which Downer Am I! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Gil-Galad · 06-05-2005, 09:55 AM

ITs simply like Who Am I, except yo udescribe Downers, my apologies if there is already a thread like this, i have not located it

I'll start it off with an easy one

I can be seen glowing an eery green, maybe as a penguin, Who am I?

AbercrombieOfRohan · 06-05-2005, 10:22 AM

It's Shelob! Actually is the B-W, but he's absent... I actually have no idea why that's important....

Gil-Galad · 06-05-2005, 10:22 AM

Aye its the B-W, your turn!

Gil-Galad · 07-27-2005, 07:30 AM

its been more then ten days so anybodys turn

the guy who be short · 07-27-2005, 09:15 AM

Yay!

My gender often puzzles newcomers. I'm bonkers.

Any more and I'd be giving it away...

Kitanna · 07-27-2005, 09:17 AM

Is it mormegil?

ninja91 · 06-02-2006, 05:23 AM

Stupid guess: Minas Morgul?

mormegil · 06-02-2006, 07:07 AM

No not Minas Morgul, is that even a Barrowdowner?

Feanor of the Peredhil · 06-02-2006, 07:36 AM

All I can think is Birdland who is our Ghastly Neekerbreeker. But she doesn't fit all of the clues...

No it doesn't fit one of the clues

.

It's in reference to another book, a non-Tolkien book.

Valier · 06-02-2006, 12:22 PM

Could it be Ender? I know the book you speak of Morm but I cannot find a member with a suitable name to fit your clues...yet

Edit: It could be Beanamir.....Bean was also a bugger killer.

Hookbill the Goomba · 09-10-2006, 04:26 AM

Mansun?

**The Saucepan Man** · 09-10-2006, 04:48 AM

I'm not surprised after that big hint ...

The floor is yours, Hookbill.

Hookbill the Goomba · 09-10-2006, 09:30 AM

Thank you Mr. Man.

Of The Days of Future Passed, this Wight is but the 7th.

If you get this, you have my eternal respect and admiration.

Glirdan · 09-10-2006, 10:06 AM

My guess is Meneltarmacil. But you have to ask me why!

Hookbill the Goomba · 09-10-2006, 10:42 AM

Nope.

What makes you say him?

Hookbill the Goomba · 09-16-2006, 09:32 AM

Is it, mark12_30?

His name is a Bible verse. ("Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, all thy mind, all thy soul and all thy strength")

And, who knows, he may work for MI-5 or some other secret agent place.
You're not a Spook are you, mark, if that is your real name...

Anguirel · 09-16-2006, 09:52 AM

Actually, mark is a she, called Helen...but she is not, alas, the answer.

HerenIstarion · 09-16-2006, 10:49 AM

I thought I finaly had gotten the genders of the more known members right, but I can see I was wrong.

Hookbill the Goomba · 12-19-2006, 04:09 AM

Be it Kitanna?
Due to "Doing the Charleston on a flagpole" location?

Naria · 12-19-2006, 11:58 AM

way off Hook, sorry

Gil-Galad · 12-19-2006, 07:04 PM

Valier

Hilde Bracegirdle · 12-20-2006, 05:28 AM

I'm thinking Durelin, founder of the current Ballroom Blitz WW game.

mormegil · 12-20-2006, 06:25 AM

I believe she is referring to a RPG character that somebody has but not knowing many of those I do not have any idea as to who it might be.

Hookbill the Goomba · 03-12-2007, 10:30 AM

A guess...

Hot, crispy nice hobbit?

Volo · 03-12-2007, 10:40 AM

Nah, but you're close to the first part of the riddle.

Thinlómien · 03-13-2007, 04:07 AM

I can only think of Don Quijote...

Volo · 03-13-2007, 08:31 AM

2/3 guessed. Only the last part remains.

Thinlómien · 03-13-2007, 08:47 AM

??? I got some of it?

Does "three parts" mean "donkey", "burnt" and "spicy"?

Hookbill the Goomba · 03-22-2007, 03:08 PM

Rhod the Red?

The 'singular' of Robbie I took to mean 'Rob' which sounded simelar to 'Rhod' and the 'Red' seemed reminiscent of Rudolph the red nosed reindeer... so... yes.

Mithalwen · 03-22-2007, 03:11 PM

Nice idea but nope ... simpler maybe?

mormegil · 03-22-2007, 03:57 PM

Firefoot

Hooves of Fire in the singular is Hoof of Fire, hoof being a foot of an animal and it's rather clever because Firefoot is the name of a horse and our beloved member so it fits rather well in many respects. Of course, having said that I'll be wrong.

Mithalwen · 03-23-2007, 10:57 AM

Well done Morm... spot on.

Hooves of Fire was the title of the first Robbie the Reindeer animated short...so the answer, when made singular is indeed Firefoot

mormegil · 03-23-2007, 01:45 PM

I hope this isn't too difficult to tie in.

Definitely does not wear a bonnet.

Hookbill the Goomba · 11-24-2007, 12:32 PM

AbercrombieOfRohan because of the Downer Periodic table. But there have been others who have made one and I'm not sure if Abercrombie is female or not...

... Am I on the right lines at least?

Thinlómien · 11-24-2007, 12:45 PM

You are quite close even though the riddle doesn't have anything to do with making Downer Periodic Tables... Keep guessing.

(And yes, I think Abercrombie is a female.)

Thinlómien · 12-03-2007, 08:18 AM

Come on, this is an old joke... anyone who's been around long enough should know it and newer members, especially thoise who know anything about science, have very good chances of guessing it...
