"Barrow Downs" gives you "Bard owns row," clearly talking about the Globe theatre.

... an anagram of The Fellowship of the Ring, in respect of which I humbly offer up the following:
Frodo Baggins = Goofs Bad Ring Self-explanatory really! ![]() Gandalf the Grey = He tag danger. Fly! Referring to the sacrifice that he made at the bridge of Khazad-Dum. Aragorn Elessar = So real as Ranger And so he should be! Samwise Gamgee = I’m wage message It's a little known fact that the character of Sam was in fact an allegory of the working class struggle for a higher minimum wage. ![]() Meriadoc Brandybuck = Dirk unmade crabby CO Referring, of course, to the dagger used to defeat the bad-tempered commanding officer of Mordor's forces at the Pelennor. Peregrine Took = Perk – I go on tree! Pippin was overjoyed to get a ride on Treebeard. Boromir = Rob ‘im, or … ... fail and die redeeming yourself. Legolas Greenleaf = Lone Elf - Gals eager The poor chap just can't escape those fangirls. ![]() Gimli, Son of Gloin = Going solo in film He's throwing in the double act with Legolas and branching out with his own movie career.

Tolkien = Ten kilo
I think that was the weight of his pipe. Gandalf the Grey = "Land the Rag, Fegy!" Not sure what a Fegy is... It would seem that The Barrow Downs will eventualy, nay, already Owns the dabr row... whatever that is... That's all I can think of...

Some tobacco inspired anagrams...
Gandalf, where is he from? A smoky place, Fagland. Since Frodo Baggins quit smoking he's been giving away all the duty free he picked up in Mordor, so he's become something of a big fags donor. And drink... Legolas has found a new resource in Mirkwood, ale logs. Meriadoc has been importing interesting new drinks from China, the most popular being Mao Cider.

A film fan was rather disappointed to read The Fellowship of the Ring and find her favourite character missing ...
"Loh! No Figwit? Help!" she fret.

Gurthang is a woman of a certain age with an attitude problem, for he is a gran thug.
Formendacil is only the pen name of famous Hispanic/Jewish comedian Rico Feldman.

![]() ![]() All this talk of hidden vices has inspired me to make a list of selected Downers' favourite tipples, concocted from their jumbled names … Rimbaud, of course, likes Drambui. While Bęthberry’s favourite is Bryth Bęer. Lalwendë has exotic tastes, plumping for L’Dëw n’ Ale. Whereas davem, as Lalwendë has pointed out, is a V-Mead man. The Saucepan Man sticks with an Ent Mush Panacea. Formendacil looks to Falmon Cider to slake his thirst. Anguirel is very well-disciplined, having a Gin rule. (Hmm, that may have been done already.) And littlemanpoet has acquired a taste for Lemon Pit Latte. Aiwendil likes his Wine laid down, as one would expect. While Holbytlass clearly has expensive tastes and keeps her Bolly Stash well hidden. The Squatter of Amon Rűdh contents himself with Quarts of the Műdhorn Tea. And finally, Alcarillo’s preferred tipple is Ralli-Cola.

Naturally keeping with the Tolkien theme, Estelyn Telcontar drinks t' Lorelyn Scent Tea.
Mithalwen has a liking for Malt Whine. Hookbill the Goomba quaffs the strange brew that is known as Hokobombo Light Ale. HerenIstarion slakes his thirst at the bar on the one Shire Train. When visiting the Great Lakes, Feanor of the Peredhil generally orders a half of the Erie Pernod. The Only Real Estel buys his favourite beverage from the Honey Latte Seller. Nilpaurion Felagund, unorthodox as ever, favours Ulannion Grape Fluid.

In the past, The Werewolf Games were the law of gems.
A Balrog is nothing but a log bar. (might have been done already) Tom Bombadil is a tidal mom blob. The One Ring was so powerful that everyone was just like a hen on grit to get it.

Did you think I would ignore this?
For men clad, I rob Rim o'88 Rimmel.
Go find rope to heal here (the man can pause the ph moat). No aim rang hurt got in awful Spain; Gong can dine large - can tell Ent story! I can line a mini-owl - Our lean, lewd she - bold ear. Moth lurks on banjo, frees urn. Herbert, by glib re-malt when I jam talk Ogle a hot blob, OK. Oh as elves darn new - hurl Drambui! (Formendacil, Boromir88, mormegil, Feanor of the Peredhil, The Saucepan Man, the phantom, morai, Gurthang, dancing spawn of ungoliant, Anguirel, estelyn Telcontar, Cailin, Orominuialwen, Lalwende, Shelob, Morsul the Dark, Rune Son of Bjarne, Bethberry, Bergil, Mithalwen, Malkatoj, Hookbill the Goomba, Valesse, Lhunardwen, Rimbaud - all posters on this thread in order of first post). The epic of the Downs anagrams is a curious one. Starting with the unlikely robbery of vintage designer lipstick from the exquisitely made-up Rimbaud by the burly imposter Boromir88, the poem sweeps to talking about the aloe strands within moisturiser required to heal a face ravaged by an unkind ph climate. No matter how well applied though, the face cream cannot change the pain gained in Spain by the plain, and the story is broken by the dinner gong, where Esty regales us with her familiar ent story. Meanwhile, I take up carving, and create a perfectly formed miniature owl, bold and fearless, whilst a large moth, previously supine upon a nearby banjo unfortunately knocks a precious urn over, thus freeing it. My friend Herbert, whilst applying himself to pouring me another whisky as I delve into ebonics, unfortunately spills hot wax on to his trousers, at which he stares while I drink more; as the elves repair his pantaloons, I unfortunately have a Drambui too many...

It looks as if that was just too hard an act to follow......

I feel all selfconcious posting after Rimbaud and all, but he inspired me to move on to bigger and better... ANAGRAMS!
Was the One Ring trying to tell us something?: One Ring to rule them all, one ring to find them... One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them. Mr. Tolkien might be a ranger in Tol-in-Gaurhoth if he told Dr. N. G. Landen nonsense: "Hi! I old timber tentmen."

Three Rings for Elven Kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf Lords in their halls of stone. Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne In the land of Mordor where the shadows lie. becomes THE SEERDOM DID MAKE WEAK THE MAN THAT HAD NO SLYNESS, FOR SOON HE REVEAL'D THE UNKNOWN AND DIED. TOLKIEN WROTE OF THIS DISORDER OF LIFE... HE FORGOTTEN HOLDS THE ROLE OF EVIL, FOR NO GOOD SEEN IN HIS HLNNRRRRRRRRS*. *Hlnnrrrrrrrrs is an archaic term for "Wolf" Take from this revelation what you will.

When entertaining, Fordim Hedgethistle dished the Fig Merlot.
Encaitare favours a Rice n’ Tea mixture. The guy who be short has a taste for the “Hot Huey” Ghost Brew. Whereas The Barrow-Wight prefers the Wraith Goth-Brew. Mister Underhill's tipple is Rilled Entish Rum. Sleepy Ranger tends to drink Pyrene Lagers. While Rune Son of Bjarne satisfies himself with a Jar of Nunson Beer. Dancing spawn of ungoliant takes a slug of Napwan Gin and Tonic. And Meneltarmacil spoils himself with a Mint Caramelle cocktail. Having simple tastes, Tuor of Gondolin is content with London Fruit Goo.

the fellowship's been done, but what about the supporting cast.
Faramir-fair ram. it's hard to find a sheep to be umpires at baseball games these days, we've had to resort to using zebras.
Baggins-bans gig. he must have become cranky now that he's old. "turn that music down, boromir". Barliman Butterbur-terminal rub rub bat. These baseball players have some strange good luck charms to compensate for the zebras' unfair calls, and tjhis one seems to bring bad luck. Elrond-led ron. maybe Rowling was inspired by Tolkien. Arwen-e-warn. she tells people to beware of MSN, because it's addictive and destroys your grammer. This is an interresting insight on the nature of the ring cf;Gollum. Galadriel-lag railed. reluctent to put safety rails in lorien because "no-one's fell yet" Eomer-me ore. he thinks he's made of metal. this also works for our Eomer. Theodon-he do not. this is what grima told him all the time. Saruman-man ursa. shouln't that be Beorn. Denethor-net horde. so he did have a plan! Nothing is an anagram of "Nazgul" makes sense, because they are nothing. P.S. I used a website.
