New one:
Children, please color in and around the blank spaces, link erroneous cat hat all together.
Three words in this one.

Gil-Galad · 09-06-2004, 07:12 PM

all i got was Olorin... must be first time bad luck...

The Perky Ent · 09-06-2004, 07:27 PM

Scatha?

luthien-elvenprincess · 09-06-2004, 07:54 PM

Perky, Scatha is, indeed, one of the three.
Gil-Galad, wow, I didn't see that one! However, it is not one of the three I intended.

The Perky Ent · 09-06-2004, 08:08 PM

Yay!

So this one day, I was biking to the library, going to check to see if they had The Adventures of Tom Bombadli, and on the way, I passed Sports Authority. As I looked through the window, I saw their shoe display. On the display was a really good pair of shoes. So, I forgot the library and went home. My mom was cooking at the time. I went up to her and said "Mom, can I have money for new shoes?" She staired at me and said, "What's wrong with the ones you've got" And to this day, I still wear the same pair of shoes

luthien-elvenprincess · 09-06-2004, 08:34 PM

Perky, what is this?

My puzzle hasn't been correctly answered yet.

The Perky Ent · 09-06-2004, 08:48 PM

oh
i'm sorry. I thought you said I was right. I had no idea I had to answer 3! Usually you only answer 1...

Samwise · 09-07-2004, 04:53 PM

Slinker

luthien-elvenprincess · 09-07-2004, 05:17 PM

Samwise has one right, so does Perky. If either of you get the third answer, you get to be next!

The Perky Ent · 09-07-2004, 05:23 PM

Ea?

luthien-elvenprincess · 09-07-2004, 05:38 PM

nope, thats not it. Actually, Gil-Galad was kinda close with his guess

The Perky Ent · 09-07-2004, 05:54 PM

Lorinand?

Samwise · 09-07-2004, 10:20 PM

Orin?

luthien-elvenprincess · 09-08-2004, 08:55 PM

The correct answers are Lorinand, Slinker and Scatha. So, Perky got two of the three right, and Samwise got one right. Therefore, Perky, it is your turn. Good job!

The Perky Ent · 09-08-2004, 09:50 PM

Yay! Here's the next one:

From wordls related to Tolkien (in any possible way):

Oin
Ea

Any hits?

The Perky Ent · 09-28-2004, 07:04 PM

Nope, but here's a hint: Mom's got the answer

Estarë?

Kath · 01-22-2005, 09:21 AM

Hey is the Perky Ent around anymore? And if not does someone want to take up the thread?

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-27-2006, 07:02 AM

Time to revive this one, I think.

To start us off again, a fairly easy one. There are six related words to be found in the following passage:

Quote:

In July, the Lombard infantry were encamped in the chasm. August found them taking the mountain path, rushing to secure the pass, where border raids allowed them to encroach upon the Germanic archers.

Kath · 03-27-2006, 11:58 AM

Quote:

That's all I could find, I'm a little unsure about Bard.

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-27-2006, 04:07 PM

That's six, so the thread is yours, Kath.

Samwise · 03-27-2006, 04:40 PM

Yes, please go, Kath. My brain needs excersise.

Interesting icon, there, Saucepan Man...

Kath · 06-20-2006, 10:21 AM

Thanks to Mettare for the poke. An easy one to get things going again. Two words to find.

Quote:

Geri adores her new friend but says, “Am I old enough for a puppy?”

Samwise · 06-20-2006, 01:36 PM

*says, "AM "

Sam...can't find the other one...

Mithalwen · 06-20-2006, 01:42 PM

Geri adores her new friend but says, “Am I old enough for a puppy?”

Eriador I am sure of but Sam may be accidental...

Anguirel · 06-20-2006, 01:43 PM

Eriador and Sam-

G eri ador es

and say s am as above.

Kath · 06-20-2006, 02:05 PM

Correct Mith! And just in before Ang too.

Mithalwen · 06-26-2006, 12:37 PM

Give him razor, hairbrush and soap to restore elan or have the smelly goblin directed to Mordor...

Kath · 06-26-2006, 12:41 PM

How many words Mith?

Anguirel · 06-26-2006, 12:43 PM

Imrazor, Elanor, Lindir and Tom (possibly unintentional).

him razor

elan or

goblin directed

to Mordor

Mithalwen · 06-26-2006, 12:49 PM

Three ...Ang is spot on even to the unintentional bit.... which perhaps compensates for being pipped before..

Anguirel · 07-01-2006, 03:22 PM

Car ant hired in media controversy-mag lord Murdoch comments "I am Rastapopoulos of modern era-even insects slam rod of iron into my rivals."

Okay, it doesn't make that much sense...four names.

**The Saucepan Man** · 07-01-2006, 06:04 PM

Ang being the question setter, I probably should have guessed it without even looking at the clue ...

Car ant hired in media controversy-mag lord Murdoch comments "I am Rastapopoulos of modern era-even insects slam rod of iron into my rivals."

Caranthir
Maglor
Amras
Amrod

What, no Maedhros?

Anguirel · 07-02-2006, 03:27 AM

I sort of copped out on Maedhros...well done Sauce...

**The Saucepan Man** · 07-06-2006, 03:40 AM

Thanks Ang.

Quote:

Giles and I both played up front for our local football team. Whenever a goal was scored, it was always either him or me. Giles had a great talent for scoring goals. He could fire footballs into the net with ease. He had a real cavalier attitude, and it always seemed to pay off. Whenever he had the ball, he only had eyes for the goal, a target for him alone and no one else. He was my rival, essentially, which I always thought odd. We never really hit it off together.

“Look at his skill,” people would say.

“La La La!” I thought jealously. “I’m better than him.”

But, more often than not, I would find myself off-side when I made my runs and constantly had to endure linesmen’s calls. I guess I had to accept in the end that he was simply better than me. So, whenever jealousy struck, I took refuge in penitence and recited Ave Maria.

Still, we had a great football kit. Ann, a local artist, designed it for us.

There are the same number of words to find as there are in players in a football (soccer) team, all related.

Mithalwen · 07-06-2006, 06:30 AM

Very clever ..8 found but I have to get back to work now

Mithalwen · 07-06-2006, 11:41 AM

I am not sure that Red is intentional ..Gil is there of course but since that isn't his full name..

Almost hope Red isn't right becasue this will be such an impossible act to follow!!

Edit no not red ..mormegil.. knew there had to be a reason why Giles ... oh bother ...

**The Saucepan Man** · 07-06-2006, 06:43 PM

Spot on, Mith.

Red was unintentional.

No pressure, but I'm looking forward to a real brain teaser from you ...
