Samwise perhaps?

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 07-17-2006, 07:08 AM

Hehe. Too obvious, Gil.

It's another Warg scholar, a very prominent one.

Lhunardawen · 07-23-2006, 01:03 AM

I'll hazard a guess...Formendacil? It looks like something he would say, at any rate.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 07-23-2006, 11:13 AM

It was indeed Formendacil; and what a theory that post posited!

Your go, Lhuna.

Lhunardawen · 07-26-2006, 01:28 AM

Oh, goody. My turn.

mormegil · 07-26-2006, 12:37 PM

It was Thinlomien in the Barrowdown pic thread. She was talking about JennyHallu in Jenny's desire to be Human not Hobbit.

Lhunardawen · 07-27-2006, 02:07 AM

Yes, yes, and yes. Good job, morm; it's yours.

mormegil · 07-27-2006, 09:00 AM

Thanks Lhuna.

**The Saucepan Man** · 07-27-2006, 10:40 AM

That looks like narfforc's style to me.

Gil-Galad · 07-27-2006, 01:29 PM

perhaps even Morsul the Dark

mormegil · 07-27-2006, 03:40 PM

narfforc is the credited response. Well done SpM. In fact this was nafforc's first ever post on the Downs. He started a thread with it.

**The Saucepan Man** · 07-27-2006, 06:38 PM

Ta morm.

Next up, a D-lightful quote:

Quote:

Dour, desperate dwarves drink draughts, demand dinner, disturbing dutiful dugout dweller. Dishes disappear during ditty. Dwarves decide dark deeds demanded during dulcet dirge describing dragon's disturbance. Dour dwarves denounce dragon, declaring duty dictates dragon's disappearance. Dwarves discourse dragon's disengagement, delightfully defiant. Dugout dweller discovers daring dignity, dumbly decreeing danger desired. Dugout dweller's dreams disturbing, destiny descends.

The Only Real Estel · 07-27-2006, 07:44 PM

The first thing that popped into my head was davem but that's about as wild as a guess can get.

Estelyn Telcontar · 07-28-2006, 01:24 AM

Saucy, that sounds like it could be Squatter - I remember a thread with that post, but don't know offhand where to locate it...

Child of the 7th Age · 07-28-2006, 10:51 AM

I remember! Liriodendron in the alliterative verse thread.... That was a few years ago.

Here...

The search function didn't work on this until I remembered her name.

**The Saucepan Man** · 07-29-2006, 03:31 AM

Well done, Child! That's the one.

That was a fun thread.

You're up next.

Child of the 7th Age · 07-29-2006, 07:33 PM

Sauce,

Am I permitted to pass the gauntlet to you? I will be flying out on Sunday for about a week on family business. I will have some computer access, but have sworn to keep posting in a Rohan game that Durelin and I are running, and I'm not sure how much more than that I can do.

Rather than letting this thread sit dead in the water, could you "pinch hit" for me? (Unlike you football folk, I am an avid baseball fan.

)

Well, if you insist ...

Here's another one from the vaults.

Quote:

You know the funny thing about “enchantment”? The more you bandy the word about, the more you try to study it and categorize it and analyze it and break it down, the more it fades into mist and, like the Faërie folk themselves, disappears.

mormegil · 10-01-2006, 09:58 PM

This is somewhat of a guess as I cannot find it at all but Bethberry? It sounds like something she would say.

the guy who be short · 10-02-2006, 08:51 AM

Or perhaps El Empi?

**The Saucepan Man** · 10-02-2006, 09:11 AM

Nope. Neither, I'm afraid.

The thread concerned is a rather infamous one in Downs history.

mormegil · 10-02-2006, 10:41 AM

Mister Underhill in the 'Canonicity' thread here.

Thanks for the hint.

**The Saucepan Man** · 10-02-2006, 12:32 PM

Correct!

Take it away, morm.

mormegil · 10-02-2006, 12:44 PM

Thanks. I'll throw out a fairly easy one.

Whoa! Sauron shows up. Not exactly as imagined, but cool nonetheless.

Gosh, so glad to hear that it wasn't one of mine. For the life of me I couldn't remember ever saying it, but you know what it's like once your posts top 1500.

I would have said davem and not Mister Underhill, though.

alatar on one of the sequence by sequence posts?

mormegil · 10-03-2006, 03:04 PM

The first post as a matter of fact.

Off you go now beth and don't forget to take the thread with you.

Bêthberry · 10-05-2006, 07:08 AM

Okay, here's a history lesson for you more recent members of the Downs.

Quote:

In the spirit of irreverence not often found in the books section of the Downs (in fact, we may have to move this thread), I have done a bit of research into the elusive social mores of hobbit life.

Anguirel · 10-05-2006, 08:10 AM

Surely Hobbit Sex Ed by Marileangorifurnimaluim?

Bêthberry · 10-05-2006, 10:33 AM

Indeed, none other! Take it away but don't squirrel it away, Anguirel.

Anguirel · 10-08-2006, 01:10 AM

Here you go...

Quote:

...Faramir walked out of the woods of Ithilien to be Boromir as he should have been.

Volo · 02-07-2007, 09:39 AM

Anybody has the interest in waking this thread up? (don't look at me)

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 04-27-2007, 09:30 AM

This has indeed been lying dormant all this time.

Anguirel, you quote Mithalwen, in a thread about Saruman and his goodness.

Anguirel · 04-28-2007, 09:05 AM

Yeah. Sorry, rather forgot about this too...yours Eomer.

Thinlómien · 10-01-2007, 11:24 AM

Eomer?

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 10-01-2007, 02:30 PM

Goodness! I remember answering that, but I didn't see Ang's reply. I'll offer a new quotation soon.

EDIT: Try this:

Glacial

Work out where you'd find such a quotation. ;-)

Lhunardawen · 06-04-2008, 01:05 AM

Goodness, Eomer, way to go killing the thread.

This is as crazy a guess as any, but the single word quotation irresistibly brings burrahobbit to mind.

(Mind you, I'm doing this just to give the thread the good ol' CPR.)

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 06-04-2008, 01:32 PM

Over a year, eh?

Wrong Lhuna, though good guess. It comes from one of those 'so-and-so in one word' threads.

Lhunardawen · 06-04-2008, 09:27 PM

Nah, just more than 7 months.

Ah. I should have known. All right, someone with time to spare, hop to it!

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 06-05-2008, 03:22 AM

Oh aye, not a year. Date should come before the month.

Lhunardawen · 06-06-2008, 05:32 AM
