GaladrieloftheOlden · 04-12-2003, 03:13 PM

Maybe Gandalf?

The Daughter of Gollum and Shelob · 04-16-2003, 07:34 AM

Is it Aragorn talking about his last visit to Lorien??

Dondagnirion · 04-16-2003, 11:17 AM

Is it Galadriel?

Dondagnirion

Airehiriel · 04-17-2003, 11:28 AM

Eleanor? Is anybody on the right track?

the phantom · 04-17-2003, 10:51 PM

said by Gloin at the Council of Elrond

eleanor_niphredil · 04-19-2003, 12:01 PM

Phantom is correct. Sorry, I went on holiday for a week. I knew there was someone I forgot to tell...

the phantom · 04-19-2003, 09:01 PM

No prob, eleanor. I hope you had fun!

It sounds to me like something Sam would say.

the phantom · 04-21-2003, 08:33 PM

I agree that it does sound like something Sam would say, but it wasn't him.

Beren87 · 04-21-2003, 11:31 PM

I remember this one purely because when I read Strider saying this to Frodo, it didn't make a bit of sense in the slightest to me.

the phantom · 04-22-2003, 08:14 AM

Ha ha! You're right, it is a really odd quote. For one thing, it doesn't sound like Aragorn at all, but also like you said, it doesn't seem to make sense. I know what he means when he says it, but the wording is weird.

Go ahead, Beren. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Beren87 · 04-22-2003, 08:49 PM

That it is, and congrats on your soon-to-be wightness.

With that exact capitalization? Because if not, then it's Tom to Frodo and co. [good lord, I make them sound like box shippers]

Quote:

I usually try to avoid most capitalization and punctuation in my quotes because it's harder to find that way.

But you got it right anyway, as usual. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Beren87 · 04-25-2003, 05:08 PM

Oo, don't say "as usual".

gandalf?

Firondoiel · 04-29-2003, 08:25 PM

Ahem, Beren? Are you there?

the phantom · 05-04-2003, 05:47 PM

Beren must be on a little vacation. Go ahead, Firondoiel, you're right.

Beren87 · 05-05-2003, 04:20 PM

You are indeed correct.

Thanks for the cover Phantom. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Wow, now I feel proud [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
And no, it's not the Gaffer.

I'm gonna take a wild guess. Is it Sam?

Eeeep! Sorry, you can have it back when I'm though, maybe. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Another wild guess. Is it Frodo? Or perhaps Merry?

Bilbo said it, speaking to Gandalf.
'I’m old, Gandalf. I don’t look it, but I feel it in my bones. I feel stretched, like butter spread over too much bread. I need a holiday, a very long holiday, and I don’t expect I shall return. In fact, I mean not to.'
[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

GaladrieloftheOlden · 05-06-2003, 11:07 AM

You're right!

Good first post [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Your turn.

And enjoy being dead! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

~Menelien

Dondagnirion · 05-06-2003, 11:10 AM

Sounds like Bilbo or Gandalf.
