Describe the horse you would ride in the Journey of the Ring - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

07-11-2002, 03:46 PM

If you were a member of the fellowship, what type of horse would you ride, what would your choice of arms be, and what role would u play?

Gimli Son Of Gloin · 07-11-2002, 04:42 PM

I don't ride a horse, I ride a Corvette. I carry an axe, and I run over the orcs.

NazgulNumberTen · 07-11-2002, 04:44 PM

Commanche helocopter. don't run over the orcs, shoot them with hellfire missiles.

Napalm. Had a bigger spread.

NazgulNumberTen · 07-11-2002, 04:48 PM

B2 bomber. My dad works for northrup grumman, the company that built it....MUAHAHAHAHA
(runs to airfeild)

Gimli Son Of Gloin · 07-11-2002, 05:24 PM

A nuclear missle. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]:

NazgulNumberTen · 07-11-2002, 05:24 PM

kinda hard to ride...

Gimli Son Of Gloin · 07-11-2002, 05:45 PM

I know a lot of people I would like to ride on a nuclear missile

NazgulNumberTen · 07-11-2002, 05:46 PM

(backs away and gets back to topic)
i dunno about breed, but something big and black, to strike fear in the hearts of hobbits...

Raefindel · 07-11-2002, 05:57 PM

I know enough about horses to say I'd ride one with 4 legs and a tail [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Gimli Son Of Gloin · 07-11-2002, 06:17 PM

I once asked for a pony for Christmas. Didn't get it. I would like to ride an evil Shadowfax.

Lindolirian · 07-11-2002, 06:26 PM

Heck, I'm ridin' the Ford of the Rings!!
Ford of the Rings

Gimli Son Of Gloin · 07-11-2002, 06:30 PM

I would ride a Caddy.

Lothiriel Silmarien · 07-11-2002, 06:34 PM

I'll ride a Lamborgini (however you spell it) or a Viper!! Ooh, Ford of the Rings, that looks cool! Or a flying cat would be some sweet ride [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
Or a big black horse, or a silver horse, or some other really nice horse.

Birdland · 07-11-2002, 07:26 PM

Gimli - Slim Pickens rode a nuclear missile.

I think Tom Bombabdil is Slim Pickens.

Fingo · 07-11-2002, 09:28 PM

I don't like horses. Horses don't like me. Just give me a good ole pair of Timberlands and I'll be just fine.

Or, ya know, if I had to pick *something* to ride in, I'd probably have to say a Jeep Wrangler, to get me through the rocky terrain of Emyn Muil and up the slopes of Mount Doom. With some of those little smiley face things to go on top.

Oooh, or a Humvee! That would be cool....

Nazgûl Queen · 07-11-2002, 10:55 PM

<center><font colour="red">Hmmmm...

I think I'd ride a Black Arabian... or a Lippizan... or even better, a chectnut horse of the line of Shadowfax...

Weapons - an elven sword and bow

Role - Guide and hunter

The Fifth · 07-12-2002, 12:05 AM

My horse would just have to be a nice, brown pony that followed me wherever I went.
Weapons? I would use a mace; long and spiked, horrible and brutal.
My role? Well, I would just be someone who wanted to join along the way and help them along. By "them", I don't know.

gollum*elf*pup · 07-12-2002, 08:22 AM

i'd ride a really slow stupid arab cross bay pony who likes to go up and down hills and be lazy. my weapon would be a spoon and an elastic and my job would be the person who bes lazy. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

mystra · 07-12-2002, 10:41 AM

a palamino, or bay, stallion called Dante. i'd have a sword, and a bow- like aragorn did. i hate bombs, vehicles, guns, etc. it would be great if we were living now as the fellowship did in the books.

Is Slim Pickens dead?

mystra · 07-13-2002, 02:19 PM

oh, and my role? a bit like legolas.....

u know, the one that hangs around in the background trying to look useful/actually interested, but just gets everyone talking about their looks. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

akhtene · 07-13-2002, 05:23 PM

A horse? That's a question to ask my sister, but she doesn't speak English (what a shame! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] ) I rode a horse only 2 times - it was my first time and last time. Too high!

As for my role - I'd prefer just giving advice and grumbling if it's not followed. I don't claim that I'm nearly as wise as Gandalf, it's just what I like to do most! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Gimli Son Of Gloin · 07-13-2002, 05:33 PM

I ride a Harrier, I use the machine gun on it, and I fly the ring to Mount Doom and drop it in.

Nevfeniel · 07-14-2002, 10:38 AM

I would ride. . . this!!!

NazgulNumberTen · 07-14-2002, 10:40 AM

i really know nothing about horses...
so i guess i will ride a penguin...

Merigrin · 07-14-2002, 10:49 AM

I would ride a horse(unicorn even) like this

I would fight with sword and my role would be... umm... to look sultry and sexy in the background. Oh and to point out the obvious "Orcs!" stuff like that.

Aosama, the Wandering Star · 07-14-2002, 01:36 PM

Hmm... I'd like to ride my ol' pony, Fauve (pronounced Fovey). She's a black Shetland, and would come in handy because she likes to bite people! I'd have a stick of wood to hit orcs over the head with, and my fists. If at all possible, I'd be the one who cooks, cleans, makes sure Aragorn washes his hair, stays behind and hides while they fight, then comes out and give them all band-aids. Sarcastic remarks would also be my area of expertise [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img].

Anarya SilverBranch · 07-14-2002, 01:57 PM

I'd ride an ostrich or emu! That would be so sweet! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

gollum*elf*pup · 07-14-2002, 07:31 PM

maybe i should ride my komodo dragon . . . [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] he bites [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Lindolirian · 07-14-2002, 07:52 PM

I'd just hitch a ride on this skateboard:

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Fingo · 07-14-2002, 08:29 PM

Oh and I forgot to add a weapon and role and what not. I would be the mysterious, strong, silent, warrior type who takes over for the fallen leader/wizard type after a misadventure with a Balrog. I would carry a long broadsword with dragon handle and a short sharp dagger. Maybe some throwing knives and poison darts in a small pouch. I would not, however, allow the Halflings to go to Mordor alone. I would have to go with them. I would really dislike myself if I just let them go. Well, I would follow them as long as I didn't have some major prophecy to fulfill or anything.

(And I just have one question.. where do you people find those nifty little movin icon things. Like yours, gollum*elf*pup, that dragon and unicorn are awesome! And Lindolorian, I really like that burning ring thing. I won't steal your guys' stuff though. As you can see, my posts are pretty boring and I would like something to make them interesting.)

Lothiriel Silmarien · 07-14-2002, 08:34 PM

Lindolirian, the third one on the skateboard looks exactly like my ferret!!! Aw, they're so cute!!

And as for my weapon....um, an Elven blade would be fine

NazgulNumberTen · 07-14-2002, 08:42 PM

hmmmmm lets see
horse: something big and black
weapon: longsword (nazgul blade)
role: assassin maybe, yeah assassin...

Lothiriel Silmarien · 07-14-2002, 08:50 PM

I'd like my role to be like Merigrin's. Sounds fun!

NazgulNumberTen · 07-14-2002, 08:52 PM

the orcs of mordor have a nickname for people who do that, lothiriel, target practice. it's good, but not very practical.

Lothiriel Silmarien · 07-14-2002, 08:58 PM

Oh well. In that case, I'd be having Boromir's job.
Alright, then my role would be like gollum elf pup's. What a hard job that would be [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Or my job would be like....Sauron's. A big disembodied eye that bosses people around and has his slaves do all the work and fight the wars.
BUT Aragorn's job sounds fun. Arwen's too. She gets to fight (only in the movie) and she also gets the hot guy in the end.

NazgulNumberTen · 07-14-2002, 09:04 PM

(nn10 launches an add campian for his assassin job)
hello people of ME, i am nn10, and i am your friend, unless anyone put a price on your head! while others are looking sexy in the backround, i do the dirty work. don't like your boss? Boom. he's gone. it's just that simple. thank you for your time...

Lothiriel Silmarien · 07-14-2002, 09:10 PM

Good ad. It remind me of Grand Theft Auto III. Which is a good game.

I won't put up an ad because I'm still unsure of which job I'd like to do..I can do all 3 then. Or 4. Or how many I said I wanted to do because I forget already!

NazgulNumberTen · 07-14-2002, 09:12 PM

ok, back to topic, do any of you acually have riding expirence?
(oh and GTA III RULZ)
