The Brandywine is a large river that flows through the Shire. It earned its name because during Lotho's short reign he enforced a Middle-earth Prohibition and all the alcohol, which consisted mostly of brandy, was dumped into the river. They say that any Hobbit who drinks of the river may become a bit tipsy to this day.
(Gimli: I'm pretty sure that brandy is a type of wine, but I'm not exactly sure.) ----- Why did Lotho wish to control the Shire?

Whoops, double-post syndrome (sorta). In answer to Elanor's question, Rose Cotton was a flight attendant on Smaug Airlines. Question as above.

It's not common knowledge, but Faramir was not all that bright, and he also had a bit of a mean streak. Fatty Lumpkin was the name he gave to anyone he didn't know personally. Basically, he would go up to any random stranger on the street and greet them as "Fatty Lumpkin". Surprisingly, he didn't have very many friends.

Because they liked digging holes so they dug them everywhere. Then when they built houses they would collaspe. So to make matters a lot easier, they just lived in the holes.

Because all the other races had trouble pronouncing the word 'hobbit.'
What is the day, the month, and the year Frodo left the Shire to destroy the ring?

The eight hundred and seventh person to call into WYRD FM to attempt to win Fox's bar of soap. Unfortunately, they wanted the eight-hundred and eigth person, so Tannim won instead.
(brownie points for anyone who catches my references. ^^) Question: Why didn't Elrond just give Arwen the go-ahead to marry Elessar?

Bilbo wanted to stay with the Elves because they have great healing powers, and as he got older his back got worse and worse, and only the beds in Rivendell were soft enough.
Elrond didn't let Arwen marry Aragorn right away because at the time he proposed, Aragorn (who Arwen affectionately called Gornie) had a rather large spot directly in the middle of his forehead. Since the wedding pictures were to last a very *long* time, and Elrond didn't want others to remember his son in law as 'that guy with the spot on his forehead at his wedding', he made up this fib about Aragorn not being good enough. So Aragorn went off on the quest, and Eowyn started going out with Faramir after she found out about Gornie's spot. In Minas Tirith, Ioreth lent him some Neutrogena, so the spot cleared up and Elrond let Arwen marry him. The end. Which member of the Fellowship loved practical jokes? What were some of his most memorable jokes, and who did he play most of these jokes on? |

You wouldn't think it, but Legolas loved to play practical jokes on the Hobbits, especially Merry and Pippin. Usually he did this by throwing his voice like a ventriloquist. On time he made it sound like Merry said "Hey, ugly!" to Pippin. Pippin asked what that was all about and, of course, Merry had no idea what he was talking about. Then he imitated Pippin's voice and called Merry "fur face." Merry, who was sensitive about the unnatural peach fuzz growing on his upper lip, took offense and challenged Pippin to a duel. Fortunately, Legolas stepped in and confessed his prank before anyone lost a limb. Another time he shaved the hair off Sam's feet and glued it onto his face. It was two weeks before the poor Hobbit completely got over the shock (he kept mumbling "What will me Gaffer say?" over and over, even in his sleep). Legolas constantly put whoopee cushions on Bilbo's chair during the stay at Rivendell. In fact, the reason Elrond sent him on the quest was so that he couldn't toilet-paper the last homely house anymore.

Eorl was the great-great-great grandfather of the Old Took, and he got his name as a joke from his rather cruel friends who made fun of him when he got his first grey hair, wrinkle, liver spot, etc.

Pippin wanted to stand out from the rest of his terribly boring and ingenious family, so he started doing all this awful stuff and apparently had two pints of miruvor every morning on the trip. He had triple that in Moria, since he quenched his fears of the dark by drinking. Rather sad. Gandalf called him a fool for drinking so much, while the rest of his dear family were tea-totalers. (I know it's not funny, but it's wrong!)

Sir Grover the Fuzzy & Blue was having a little too much fun with his sword, and poor Frodo got in the way, causing Sir Grover the Fuzzy and Blue to stab him in the big toe and cut it off. That was one heckuva stubbed foot.
Why did Frodo and Sam cross to the Eastern shore of the Anduin?

He set off mortars and invited all the Ents to a party at Carn Dûm, where he then got his butt sizzled by a wild rocket.
Why did everyone call Melkor "Morgoth?" What was the meaning of the name?

Because the other Dwarves had drugged his ale a while back and "coincidentally" started taking affect just then. Apparantly, Bombur had owed Thorin some gold and refused to pay up. Thorin was giving payback and they would have left him in Mirkwood, if it hadn't been for soft-hearted Bilbo. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

He's both (think about the Jets on West Side Story when they sing about how they are misunderstood). He's a thug who needs a hug!
