Just for fun - If people in Middle Earth wore t-shirts, What would they say? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

If you were a character in LOTR, and if people in Middle Earth wore t-shirts with slogans, what would yours say?

If I were a Maia living among elves or men, I'd want a t-shirt that read,

"Ask me about the Ainulindalë"

Suppose the nine Nazgûl had t-shirts (in black, of course) that read,

"Servant of Sauron"

and Sauron had one, almost the same, that read,

"Servant of Melkor"

Frodo would have this one, (this is actually a real t-shirt design)

I was …
chased from my house,
stabbed by a wraith,
assaulted by a mutant octopus,
speared by a troll,
stalked by a creepy little man,
drawn into a corpse-filled swamp,
poisoned by a giant spider,
rendered unconscious …
I even lost my Ring,
And all I got was this lousy tshirt

And if I were any randomly selected hobbit, mine would be: (this is also a real t-shirt design)

The Prancing Pony Inn

I think this should go in the Mirth section...

Butterbur's T-shirt would say:

"One moment, I'm coming!"

or

"Please remind me if I forgot about any letters"

Pippin's t-shirt would probably read....

Demand my help if you ever wish to mess up and get beaten up.

Gandalf's may read as.....

First grey, then white;
My anger's my greatest might.

How about this for Isildur:

Gollum's would read:

GOT RING?

This amusing thread idea is definitely suited to the Mirth forum area. I'm moving it there - please continue to read and post at the new location. Thanks!
