No.
The parrot was not the amputee! Long John Silver was, and he is not the answer either!

I heard this joke once:
'I have a wooden leg named Smith'. Relevant?

Feanor was a good diplomat. When he came to Alqualonde, he told Olwe 'blah blah blah'. And Olwe said unto him 'blah blah blah'.

I prefer the mutilated fish version of that clue. Cruel as it sounds, I think it's sillier. But I had already used it. Still, it's the reason this puzzle has happened. Now, folks, come on. What are bogies/boogers essentially MADE of?

YES! SNOT!

If someone has projectile vomiting, it goes everywhere, right?

What is 'all over' or 'projectile' trying to *indicate?*

Oh wait, I do. Very clever.
Soronto (Roo+Snot). How did I do?

But since Huey guessed the password this time, it's over to him, at least to choose who does the next one.

But will he choose to take over or not, that is the question.

I have one ready, but can't post it until tomorrow. So if you're okay to wait 14 hours or so...? Fun password, Pervinca, and good working with you, Urwen!

I am okay with that, but may we know why can't you just copy-paste it if you already have it prepared? It takes all of fifteen seconds, give or take.

Probably the same reason I sometimes can't ... they're on a Word document on my laptop, which during the week might be locked in my cupboard at work, and I mostly post from my phone, which is always with me.

Precisely that, Pervinca (though in this case it was a Text document on a desktop).
Since tomorrow is now upon us, here you go: 1. West, briefly a ring-slinger, is attending. 2. Sounds like my smile goes from right to left. 3. One step on from a dwarf impaled by two thirds of a spear. 4. No light, and it sounds like no Hell either; it's all backwards! 5. Mother jumbled up the marbles. 6. A crazy omlette row? Never let it end. 7. Take elements of two backwards countries, then add Earth (well, stone) and Air. For Reasons, I'm going to need to insist on at least two-thirds of a clue being explained with each answer. hS |

6. Maeglin (Ma+Eg+Lin). Mad + Egg + Line with the last letters taken away.
Finally, someone who isn't me has used Maeglin as the clue!

Oh, wait, if all the clues are what I think they are, then you're one sneaky person.

2 is also Maeglin (Mae + Grin - R + L)
So is 1 (Mae (West) + LING) So is the password.
