so that he could gather a bottle of white ash to take home and show Rosie!

Why would Gandalf pull his chin hairs into a pony-beard?

A very, very, VERY, cranky Galadriel. She had been taking her beauty sleep and she was very angry at being awakened. Her hair spray accidently got set on fire by an Orc, and that's why the Fellowship thought they were being pursued by a Balrog.

I notice that someone else got in there first, which will teach me to be so long-winded. I hope that you'll forgive my posting my answer anyway, since I quite liked it.

-------------------------------------------

In Tolkien's only recorded foray into Lovecraftian fan-fiction, their excavations were guided by Nyarlathotep into awakening Cthulhu himself. Initially the Old One helped the Dwarves of Moria (albeit unintentionally) by eating the Balrog, whose protection racket was bleeding their Mithril stocks dry; but ultimately he will destroy the world. Until then, as the Watcher in the Water, he sleeps and waits for some fool to wake him.
Later study of the Book of Mazarbul revealed the telling couplet
Quote:
That is not dead which can eternal lie
And in strange aeons even death may die.
Either that or it was Elvis. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

---------------------------------------------
"Sharkey" was a semi-mythical being, who was rumoured to lurk in the background of any conversation, occasionally removing the impolite and foolish from existence.

She didn't want to: she was as afraid of being left on the shelf as any Hobbit-lass, it's just that the wooden leg, glass eye and facial warts tended to put off a lot of men. Sam could see through that to the fact that she had good child-bearing hips and was a better cook than he. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

It was Gil the Bouncer. Tough nut to crack, that Gil. First he accused the hobbits of having bogus I.D. Then Legolas kept saying "check the guest list again" while trying to read the names over his shoulder. And none of them were really dressed right for Lothlorien, anyway.

But eventually Aragorn just slipped him a fistful of silver pennies, which got their hands stamped, and they were in the door.

But the band sucked, and it was too early for anything to be really happening, so they headed back over to Moria to see if if they could catch up with Gandalf again.

A 14-20 was, of course, the Hobbit version of the popular 18-30 Holiday Packages available from any disreputable travel agency. Typically, an appropriately aged group of young Stoors, Harfoots or Fallohides, would journey to Rivendell or Lothlorien, under the auspices of some older Hobbit mentors (as old as 30!). There they would sample the delights of miruvor in great quantities, vomit copiously and talk a great deal about procreation.

-------------------

How did the Elves forge weaponry and armour in their beautful wooded abodes, without the risk of fire and the noise/smell/effects of pollution?

They were using the Mary-Sue Industries Type #520 smokeless, heatless forge: all the back-to-basics genuine craftsmanship of a real blacksmith's forge, but it doesn't soil one's delicate samite sleeves. Indeed the user exits smelling of apple blossom due to the AromaTech (TM) air-freshening device, which is an optional extra that no Elf would be without.

What were the social, political and economic effects of Sauron's downfall in the 100 years following the War of the Ring?

Mr. Squatter! Is this - like - a multiple choice question?

Essay? What it's count towards our final grade? That much?

OK, social, political, and economic effects of the fall of Sauron...Well, they got a king out of the deal. That was pretty sweet. And people were traveling around a lot more, what with the Orcs kinda dying off and all, so you had a lot more trade and tourism, which meant that everyone was spending money and buying on credit. So the economy was really jumping.

Socially it was kinda a bummer, cause the Elves were all leaving and they always threw the best parties. But that left plenty of room for Men to move into the neighborhoods that the Elves left behind, so everyone was buying these flets and Baranduin riverside condos at fire sale prices, so socially everyone was pretty happy, even without the Elves, (except the popular music was pretty lame, so most people just preferred to listen to Elven "oldies")

Anyway, the first 100 years after Sauron was wacked were pretty good. But then the Second Great Plague of F.A. 110 struck. After that everything pretty much sucked again.

Well, Frodo was really cute y'know, but so SERIOUS? M'god, what a wet blanket. But heck, I was on the rebound after being dumped by Bilbo of all people! WELL, I shoulda left that geezer a long time before that, so there, but stability, a comfortable life.. you know how it gets. *blows bubble and pops it.* Now Sam was really sweet, it's too bad you couldn't have Frodo's looks with Sam's personality, eh? But still the Nazgul were so COOL, and then there was Gollum which, you know, we'd been together so long, but... been there, done that... anyhow, Isildur was a great fling, but not really my type, too rough, so I had to dump him of course, but when I met Boromir he kinda reminded me - ? So I guess I had some regrets about that. But I'm kinda glad I didn't get taken up with him, we all know how THAT would'a ended. But Sauron... Sauron... sigh... you know, it's the bad boys you can never forget, right?

That he won victory in battle, crushed his enemies and heard the lamentation of their women. World domination in its most brutal and primitive form.

He was something of a dark horse behind that solid rustic façade, was Master Samwise.

Termites. The fact that Barad Dûr collapsed at the same time as the destroying of the ring is purely coincidental.

Because that rascal Will Whitfoot had Bilbo declared legally dead. The death-duties were crippling, so Frodo had to sell the place to Shire Heritage to cover them.

1420!

Fatty had bad gambling debts from betting on the pony races at the Brandywine track. He had fallen behind on his payments to 'Nick the Nose', despite the valuables he'd nicked from Brandy Hall and Frodo's stuff from Bag End.

He was terribly relieved to learn it was just Black Riders after Frodo, and gladly pointed them on their way.

He found a Mary-Sue Industries Type X-1000 Whole Citadel vacuum system, that's what! Unfortunately, it wasn't working; the owner's manual having been lost through the ages. That explained all the dust, ya know.

But after some careful research by Gandalf, a penny in the fuse box soon put things to right, and the White City once again lived up to its name.

Elbereth Gilthoniel was the first governor of the Shire, campaigning with the slogan "From Bree to the Sea with El.B.G."! (which really made no sense at all, but was extremely catchy).

He served one term, and his wife, Lady Bug, was responsible for the popular "Beautify the Shire" campaign, eliminating the billboards on the Greenway and putting a stop to uncontrolled burrowing.

El.B.G political career was ruined when he was caught picking up his children by their ears.

Argyle socks!!!!! Three pairs in assorted sizes and colors, that is. It was to remind Sam that someday he too would make the journey, and then the three Hobbits, Frodo, Bilbo and Sam, would all be wearing argyle socks together.

What is Bree called in Elvish?

Answer to Birdland's question:

Frodo's pants. You see, Frodo was getting rather along in age and was always forgetting something. This time it was his pants. No wonder why Galadriel was giggling uncontrollably during the trip to Valinor!


Answer to Diamond18's question:

Bree in Elvish, is translated as the Town of Stinky Men. I don't know Elvish!


My question:

What was the creature that lived in the lake before Moria Doors called, and what did it look like?

His name was Harold and he was a vole. Not a very good choice of guardian, but Orcs like voles for some reason. This is believed to be Ratty's last literary appearance before his drink problem finally sank his career.

What significant loss to Arnor occurred at the Ice Bay of Forochel?

TolkienGurl, I think that a very rough translation would be "Ost-in-holma-edain". (I am positive that I am totally wrong.)

In answer to Squatter's question, Arvedui lost his glasses and killed a shipmate, mistaking him for an Orc.

What did Frodo and Sam see in the Dead Marshes?

Why did the Elven King of Mirkwood float barrels to the Long Lake?

After the long ages of living inside single cave, it became somehow stuck up to the top with garbage. There was simply no more room left, therefore Thranfuil ordered the trapdoor to be made in his sellar. His cave cleaned up a bit, though he got very huge problem with the Esgaroth Green Peace protestants afterwords


====================================

Who was Fredegar "Fatty" Bolger?
