Vaguely interesting BBC Culture article leads you to believe that it's actually interesting.

Galadriel55 · 12-01-2014, 02:55 PM

How do you imagine other BDers - in my head, of course.

Isn't this thread for puns based on literal interpretations of thread titles?

Shall I use an even more emphatic qualifier next time?

I believe that could be better titled "The Christian Dior Dilemma".

Where do elves get metal? - From their local music store.

Do you think there should have been a contrivance to pre-empt the Eagles question?

Sauron had all the Eagles on a no-fly list because of their radical terrorist inclinations to eat his minions.

The Worlds of Miyazaki Hayao and JRR Tolkien

I didn't know Tolkien had ever tried sushi....

Transmission theory: what the heck was Tolkien thinking?

That Gandalf drove a stick shift.

Saruman's Pits

...used to cause him all sorts of embarrassment. Now he uses Isengard™, and like fog on the Barrow-downs, his troubles have melted away.

Galadriel55 · 04-03-2017, 04:07 PM

What (or who) am I talking about (I don't even know half the time!) - you were giving a speech about Alzheimer's Club.

I can't remember the last time I laughed this hard - It's okay. I understand. Welcome to Alzheimer's Club.

when did you read lotr for the first time? - I read it when... wait, what did you ask?

Why is LOTR the best fantasy novel of our time? - No it isn't. I just finished reading this other fantasy novel that's much better, but I can't remember which one it was.

Who or what am I talking about (I don't even know myself half the time) 2 - as I said, you were giving a speech about Alzheimer's Club.

Its that time of year again - which one is it now? I forgot.

What time is it? - that time. Of the year. See? I actually remembered.

Nerwen · 06-02-2017, 05:28 AM

I just got the Silmarillion. How long will it take for me to read? -See below.
ummm... -Exactly... ummm...

Help!!! -Hang in there, I'll save you!
Help me please!!!!!!!!!!! -Just a moment, I'm helping the first guy!
HELP! -All right, all right, but you'll have to wait your turn.
Noob Needs help *sigh*
Thoughts stuck in your head repeating over and over again - Why not start a thread?

The Nazgûl: Proof that you can't go home again? Pretty conclusive proof, I'd say...

Nerwen · 06-11-2017, 07:06 AM

Winged Nazgul- Dragons, winged horses, something else? WHAT WERE THEY. -Winged horses. Hence the following tragic verse:

There was a Pegasus
Shot down by Legolas
Its mate went on screamin'
'Til chopped up by Eowyn.

Names of the Nazgûl? -W.K. of A., Khamûl, Nazgûl #1, Nazgûl #2, Nazgûl #3, Nazgûl #4, Nazgûl #5, Nazgûl #6, Nazgûl #7. There, hope you appreciate my exhaustive research.

What if Sauron became the new Lord Of The Nazgûl? -Or, Ruthless Ambition in the Bizarro World.

Do you thi... -On a regular bathith. I hath a lithp. *thi*

Hounds or other dogs? -Or, What if Huan had been a Chihuahua?

Orcs and Gobblins -Are gobblin us out of house and home!

Simbelwyne -Rohirric alcohol. Never drink and ride!

Inziladun · 10-31-2017, 01:32 PM

Parma Eldalamberon- where is it?

South America?

Galadriel55 · 10-31-2017, 05:45 PM

Sex Amongst the Maiar (and the Other Beings in Arda)

As the eldest children of Iluvatar begin to hit puberty, they start experimenting behind their fathers back. He was so busy making music he neglected to give them "the talk" before sending them off to live independently. Ah, the consequences of bad parenting!

Nerwen · 03-28-2018, 03:26 AM

Tom Bombadil and Luthien Tinuviel -Let the shipping begin!

Inziladun · 01-03-2019, 04:10 PM

Transmission theory- what if it's ALL true?

That Tolkien hated automatics?

Inziladun · 01-23-2019, 03:53 PM

Narmer the Numenorean

Historical records indicate that was Boromir, Son of Denethor II's, favourite childhood book.

A well-connected denizen of the Far Harad, Petteramuz Jacksenu, tried to adapt it for "drama", but was sadly eaten by an ill-tempered oliphaunt at the start of production.

Galadriel55 · 10-07-2020, 03:17 PM

New evidence found for the riddle of the West Gate: new first-hand witnesses attest to the Gate's presence, further supporting the theory that the mysterious Gate both exists and does not exist simultaneously.

Who Cleared the Redhorn Pass?

Oh! That was Barden Hammerfoot of the Mindolluin Marauders in the 2267 Rhovanion Cup. They lost, of course, to the Carn Dûm Carcaroths, but it was one heckuva game.
