Anyway: 123,456,789 hobbits live in Hobbiton at this time. Why is Gollum so wrinkly and gross? (can't think right now...) [ October 19, 2002: Message edited by: TolkienGurl ]

While he was up there, he threw down some flares, hoping they would see them. He also left a big banner that said "Gandalf was Here!"

Lol, that shows how bad of a speller i REALLY am....
Frodo was never under the power of the ring - it was really Sam. You see, when Frodo and Sam started going up with Gollum, they decided to switch places. They quickly traded hair and eyes and names, of course! So it was never Frodo who was under the power... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What powers did the ring hold?

Well, he was a white horse, so of course they called him Bert. Though after the events of the Pelennor Fields, his name was changed to Dead Weight.

Because they were all great gourmets. Each had very particular ideas about how to prepare Dwarf and Hobbit, but before they could decide whether to flambée, sauté or pot-roast their meal they realised that they hadn't yet visited the new local Tuscan restaurant. The problem was solved and Thorin et al were released.

I second that, Birdland, although I sense the distinct flavour of real life creeping in there. No such danger for the Arda Nerds, eh?

From Gillette. They have a new quintiple-bladed action, for a smoother, closer shave. Designed especially for dwarves.
Since among dwarves shaving is considered something of a fetish, those use them are shunned. Just like hobbits shun those who wear shoes. ******** What is Michel Delving? Quite so, Squatter - Michael Delving. [ October 27, 2002: Message edited by: Marileangorifurnimaluim ]

I think you mean Michael Delving, which was one of Tolkien's early ideas for the name of the character who later became Sam.

Erech was the first Man to land on the Land of Gift. When he came ashore he tripped over a large stone that was sticking out of the sand, breaking his big toe. The incident gave rise to the Númenorean expression "stone of Erech", meaning an unseen difficulty that arises on the brink of success.

The sea of Nurnen. It's said Sauron was raised by 10 nuns, and being cruel and nasty boy, he drowned them all in the sea. Hence nuns ten --> Nunnen --> Nurnen

Food poisoning. He'd been too lazy to hunt that day, and had eaten an old jar of frankfurters that was a hundred years past its sell-by date.

By chance they met a minicab driver, who happened to have been summoned to a pick-up at the Sammath Naur by a prankster. He gave them a lift as far as Ithilien for the very reasonable price of everything they were carrying. He left Sam the box that Galadriel had given him because, in his own words, "What sort of a berk wanders around carrying a box of dirt?"

This kind of fish (anduinus aquamarinus urinus), more commonly known as simply Anduin (two species though - Red Anduin and Hairy Anduin), is inhabiting pools adn ponds in the subtropical regions. Better rise is expectable if a fisherman uses horned frogs as a bait.

Sauron, he always had a yellow fetish. Why else was the Ring made of gold and not mithril or something?
