Nominations: Best Thread Names - Page 3 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

VanimaEdhel · 04-07-2003, 09:47 AM

Typos (or: Is it a Freudian slip?) is great, I think. Although it got a bit off the original intended topic, it's still funny to read too! Go read it!

And thank you, Maril and The Evenstar!

alaklondewen · 04-09-2003, 03:52 PM

"When Spring unfolds the beechen leaf" by Birdland gets my vote. It's very poetic.

Hobbit Sex Ed from Marileangorifurnimaluim. Geez, who could resist clicking on that one?

*Blushes* I certainly couldn't resist, I must admit...*turns an even deeper pink* I would be willing to guess that every one of my fellow teen-agers clicked on it too. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-25-2003, 05:26 PM

I like: Another stange gift of the elves or lost contacts?, by Silmarien. The thread wasn't as intriguing as the title, though.

Also: Tolkien Scholars or Academics can Kiss My As-taldo, by the one and only Lush

And a third vote for: Blue Wizard Quizzes, from Pallando B.C. on a quiz thread that has nothing at all to do with the Ithryn Luin.

Hobbit Sex Ed's pretty good too... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Really? I've always avoided it because it sounded too learned!

Well, once you said that, I couldn't resist. And I have to admit that I'd read quite a bit of it before I realised what 'Sex Ed' meant *blushes a deeper shade of red than Vanima*

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-26-2003, 02:01 PM

heehee, it's just generic random trivia if you look inside, Lyra. No blue wizards in sight. (unless you count Pallando BC [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img])

Sophia

*Varda* · 04-26-2003, 02:03 PM

Hobbit Sex ED...yes, it would seem the title drew a lot of people to it [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

And I like Typos (or a Freudian Slip?) too.

I think that's one of the most amusing threads to read, actually...

Estelyn Telcontar · 05-30-2004, 11:47 AM

I simply must dig up this old thread to nominate a new, very clever thread title by HerenIstarion - "ReVerse"! Such a cute play on words for his specialty, turning Tolkien poetry around so it's opposite in meaning...

Sirithheruwen · 05-30-2004, 12:00 PM

Well, to nominate one of my own...

Frodo the Drama Queen

The name seemed to draw people in, but the thread was a flop.

It was, after all, the first thread that I started.

- LOL!

Ah, there are so many cool thread names I thought were really cool, but now it seems I'm having a blank...I'll be back though.
Here's one that was stuck in my head for days on end: From the Books forum: Man to Man in Araman (by Nilpaurion Felagund).

And in the Quotable Quotes section there was a thread: A few quotes (yes, I'm bored at work). Not sure if this was the exact exact title though.

HerenIstarion · 08-07-2004, 01:41 PM

So, new nominees are:

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

Tolkien- For the Love of Eowyn!
(The Books)

To the point

by Lady of Light

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

The Ennui of the Elves
(The Books)

Again, gives the reader a chance to fairly well guess of what it will deal with

by Lalaith

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

Losing Sight of the Basics...
(The Books)

Very intriguing title, stirring one's curiosity as to what are basics we are loosing sight of?

by Child of Seventh Age

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

F34r th3 l33tn3$$
(Middle-Earth Mirth)

For it's very strangeness, catches attention

by Witch-King

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

insanity reigns!!!
(Middle-Earth Mirth)

IT DOES (five explamation marks...)

by Lady Snickerdoodle

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

Everything I need to know I learned from LOTR
(Middle-Earth Mirth)

Many of us did

by Maeggaladiel

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

That's not all, of course - there is an ocean of worthy titles to be brought at the altar here

cheers

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 08-07-2004, 01:50 PM

There is only one for me;

Hot Balrog Lovin' by doug*platypus. I just about fell of my seat laughing when I saw that.

HerenIstarion · 08-07-2004, 02:10 PM

Hot Balrog Lovin'

Amanaduial the archer · 08-07-2004, 04:30 PM

Another one which I saw today which made me smile (if in a sort of vaguely confused way) was Monkeys eat bananas, right? Oh come on, tell me you weren't intrigued...

I noticed that one too today. I laughed.

I just had to click on it...I couldn't resist.

HerenIstarion · 08-08-2004, 02:32 AM

Monkeys eat bananas, right?

by Elenglin

It was one of the first nominees on the page 1 of the current thread

Though the title is a bit more promising than what its contents fulfill

HerenIstarion · 08-08-2004, 02:10 PM

And Eru Smiled
(The Books)

Just because I liked it

by Iarwain

HerenIstarion · 08-09-2004, 02:32 PM

=================================
LOTR vs. Scholars, or Academics Can Kiss My As-taldo.
(The Books)

worth a read, sure!

by: Lush

InklingElf · 08-12-2004, 05:18 PM

I haven't seen this thread in awhile: The Geriatric Club -- what a great name! My grandparents would be proud.

Amanaduial the archer · 08-12-2004, 05:37 PM

Heren, I can't help noticing: you posted three posts in a row...and each of them was almost exactly twelve hours apart.

Hroom...

HerenIstarion · 08-13-2004, 12:44 AM

Does the feat qualify for Top Ten Signs You're Addicted To The Barrow-Downs or rather for Downsaholic Anonymous?

(Not to be off topic, I nominate both, btw. So, the latter is by The Perky Ent, the former by Lush)

Lhunardawen · 08-14-2004, 02:55 AM

I second And Eru Smiled and Downsaholics Anonymous.

I also nominate A Little Somethin' Somethin' Just For You by Lush. Sounds really thoughtful...and a great quiz, too!

Sirithheruwen · 08-19-2004, 04:53 PM

Must...Obey...Gremlin and I just wanted to see the sailboat! (both by Eomer) were titles that drew me in...besides the fact that I'm a crazed Eomer-stalker.

HerenIstarion · 08-20-2004, 02:08 AM

Equinii and Solsticsesss, m'preciousss
(The Books)

Just lured me in, that title did...

by Mark 12_30

Morsul the Dark · 08-20-2004, 02:26 AM

there are two I like

"Quantum physics multiple unverses...no LOTR"

and

"Smack the Dwarf"

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 08-20-2004, 08:48 AM

Yes, those were certainly intriguing. Who were they posted by Morsul?

mark12_30's m'preciousss is definitely a good 'un. And cheers Sirith! I contemplated those titles for several months in order to get them featured on this thread!

HerenIstarion · 08-21-2004, 01:22 AM

Morsul is a tiny bit of a cheat

, as Smack the Dwarf is of his own authorship

. Tricky, tricky morsul

But let us second that nomination

Morsul the Dark · 08-21-2004, 01:29 AM

sorry i just find them funny
