The Benefits of Fresh Air and Interaction - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

11-19-2003, 03:08 PM

Hi people. It's a beautiful day outside. So I wanted to say welcome everyone. Now I really should go outside...my friends are waiting. We are going to take advantage of this gorgeous day and interact with others. Yes. Anywho.. this topic is for people to talk about fresh air and interaction. It's all good.

11-19-2003, 03:11 PM

Oh...I forgot that this has nothing to do with LOTR. Anyway, I guess this topic can be about how fresh air and interaction is shown in Lord of The Rings. See, now it's relevant? Yay.

Erm… not really… What are you trying to say in this topic? 'The Benefits of Fresh Air and Interaction' very interesting heading... so what your actually saying is we don’t get enough fresh air and we don’t interact or what? I'm bewildered what’s the point you are trying to make, please enlighten me. Well I think this topic is going to be closed pretty soon.

Hey "Ari made me come here", I don't know why I'm even dignifying this with a reply. But as long as you're reading this, you might as well go read LOTR before embarassing yourself too badly. (and for all you other people who think I'm being mean, I know this person, so its not like I'm randomly lashing out at people)
anyway. LOTR is ALL fresh air. Except for in Moria and Mordor. But fresh air DID save the fellowship's life, because it led Gandalf in the right direction when he couldn't remember which way to turn. so there you go.

ElentariGreenleaf · 11-19-2003, 03:25 PM

Actually... I think the it's quite a good idea. We could talk about this:

"Differnet ways the various races of Middle Earth spent their time outside."

Hobbits would obviously have done alot of farming, but perhaps Hobbits in their Tweens played some games, such as seeing who could get closest to Grip & Fang (I forget the third one's name) without getting caught.

Dwarves spent most of their time in the mountains, and I've actually often wondered what they'd do (other than befriending an elf) if they were to venture outside. Does anyone have an answer or sujestion about this?

Lady Snickerdoodle · 11-19-2003, 03:26 PM

Niluial, sorry about "ari mad me..." My fault actually, I was trying to get her interested in LOTR. Anyway, she IS interested so give her a chance.... and go explain LOTR to her under "The Books" because she DOES want to know. ("ari...etc", you are, aren't you?)

Niluial · 11-19-2003, 03:42 PM

No, I am not mad or anything, I just didn’t get the point of the topic. But if we just change the structure of the topic a bit I am sure it will make a debatable and very intresting topic.

Quote:

and go explain LOTR to her under "The Books"

maybe she should think of starting that topic under Novice and Newcomers seeing that The Book is a little advanced. I am sure your friend can dig up some old topics too if she is that willing to learn about LotR. I’ll send her a PM as soon as I have time.

Back on topic though, maybe dwarves chopped tree’s or something outside, I actually cant picture a dwarf as a outsider who plays on the grass and picnics etc but it is funny thinking about it.

ElentariGreenleaf · 11-19-2003, 03:57 PM

True, I can't see dwarves playing anything, not even chess. I suppose they'd have to go outside to chop trees for fire wood, get food, but not water. They'd get that from an underwater river I guess. Perhaps dwarven children (what an odd sight they'd be!) play a game where they sneak around just outside, or maybe they watch the braver children as they step out into the sunshine, then leap back into the shadows.

I suppose human outdoors activities would be much the same as they were during the medievil times: falconry, hunting, riding, practice duels.

Well, I think my work here is done.

Elentari I, your neighbourhood topic-saver.

Ainaserkewen · 11-19-2003, 05:09 PM

Reminds me of a topic in Middle-Earth Mirth...hmmm.

Orcs would be like animals I think...playing by wrestling and bitting each other to sharpen their fighting skills. I can't imagine them doing anything else. However, we don't really know how "young" orc kids would be, or if there are or not...but for the sake of argument, I'll say there is and that they're like animals.

dancing spawn of ungoliant · 11-20-2003, 05:35 AM

Hobbits play golf or at least they invented it. Another outdoor activity for them could just be eating outside.

Lady Snickerdoodle · 11-20-2003, 02:28 PM

I forgot that hobbits invented golf. Bullroarer took had something to do with a decapitated orc head, right?

Quote:

dwarven children..."young" orc kids

That made me realize, Tolkien never really described any children (of any race) in his books. (but I've only read the Hobbit and the LOTR so far...)

Child of the 7th Age · 11-20-2003, 10:25 PM

What about Bergil, son of Beregond, who was born about 3008 of the TA? He was the one who chatted with Pippin in Minas Tirith.

Lady Snickerdoodle · 11-22-2003, 09:42 AM

Oh. that works, I guess.

dragoneyes · 11-22-2003, 10:44 AM

According to Bergil he wrestled nad judging by Pippin's reply Hobbits wretle too. Does that make them animals like Orcs?
