Correct. Quote on, Tinuviel!

Luthien_ Tinuviel · 07-30-2003, 07:23 PM

Why thankyou! Here's one:

Quote:

it talk don't to Merry!

Easy one...

Horse-Maiden of the Shire · 07-30-2003, 10:17 PM

Don't talk to it Merry!
Pippin to (duh) Merry about Treebeard. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Luthien_ Tinuviel · 07-31-2003, 04:07 PM

Yes, very easy, wasn't it? It's kind of hard to come up with a hard quote and then scramble it. Your turn. (Is this some kind of an exchange or something? It's not limited to this thread, either. We keep answering each other's questions on the Actors' Quotes thread as well.) [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

Horse-Maiden of the Shire · 08-16-2003, 05:00 PM

It's because we wuv each other, Tinuviel! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Okay...here's another one.

Quote:

Firondoiel · 08-22-2003, 01:16 PM

"Ten thousand strong."

Aragorn to Theoden at Helms Deep in TTT.

Horse-Maiden of the Shire · 08-22-2003, 04:26 PM

Yep.

Evisse the Blue · 09-19-2003, 04:05 AM

*bump* - I love this game, my friends and I have been playing it for ages, I had no idea it was here!

And I got new ideas to make it a bit more difficult and interesting! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
1. If you replace a substantive with a verb, you preserve the verb's ending and tense, adding it to the substantive instead.
example: it fined to seem "It seemed so fine"
2. If you replace a susbt with an adjective / adverb you preserve the adjective's original ending, adding it to the substantive:
example:the roader the long, the feeter the weary. the longer the road, the wearier the feet
3. You can also replace a verb with an adjective, thus switching their endings, and also revert the order of pronouns, prepositions, etc, thus making a true jumble of the entire sentence:
example: Mind is sufferinger it the in to be nobling.- It is nobler in the mind to be suffering.

Sound like fun, eh? If you think it doesn't - just you wait - you'll soon be convinved it is!

So , here's the first one:
If I the realed had Stride killer, I killed can you.

Mithisilien · 09-19-2003, 10:03 PM

That's a little too confusing for me...I don't know about anyone else...

Laivine · 09-20-2003, 11:07 AM

I thought I'd join in, if no one minds [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] The correct quote would be

Quote:

If I had killed the real Strider, I could kill you

Said by Aragorn to Sam in The Prancing Pony.

Evisse the Blue · 09-20-2003, 12:21 PM

Yes, Laivine, well done! Your turn to scramble now [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] .

Laivine · 09-21-2003, 09:54 AM

Hmmm... I've never done this before, and I'm not sure I understood completely, but I'll try anyway. It's probably far too easy to be any fun, but still, here it goes;
Destroy must be the ringed.

Evisse the Blue · 09-21-2003, 11:38 AM

"The ring must be destroyed", Elrond, I think in the FOTR movie.

Laivine · 09-24-2003, 09:56 AM

You're right, of course... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Evisse the Blue · 09-24-2003, 02:21 PM

Okay - new one, a bit more complex:

"Them murmur now remember", Tom fewed, "sons still go of yetting, wander in forgotten kinging, evilness in lonely thinging from folk walk are heed thatless ground."

this has rhyme and rythm if you read it loud- cool. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Cinderella · 09-28-2003, 05:07 PM

*Bump* A hint maybe? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
And btw Evisse, I LOVE your siggy... "the sea monkeys took my money..."

Evisse the Blue · 09-28-2003, 10:54 PM

lol,I'm glad you find it funny, I thought it was hilarious. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Right- the hint: it's Tom (Bombadillo) speaking.

symestreem · 01-02-2004, 07:24 AM

"Few yet now remember," Tom murmured," yet still some go wandering, sons of forgotten kings walking in loneliness, guarding from evil things folk that are heedless."

Evisse the Blue · 01-02-2004, 03:07 PM

symestreem, congrats, you got it, I had given up on anybody unscrambling that quote!
And a warm welcome to the Downs from me! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

(PS: It's only now that I noticed that this bit has rhyme and rhythm in the original, too, not only when scrambled - wonderful piece of writing)

symestreem · 01-03-2004, 11:22 AM

Thanks, Evisse. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

It take you, you leave safety can cannot you it behind with nor with.

This is a book quote. The letters are not scrambled, but the words are. The comma is after the correct word, but the period is not.

Evisse the Blue · 01-19-2004, 02:52 AM

Can I have a hint please, symestreem? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

symestreem · 01-19-2004, 03:53 PM

Gandalf.

Crystal Heart · 01-19-2004, 04:29 PM

You cannot leave with safety behind you, nor can you take it with you

That is my guess.

symestreem · 01-19-2004, 06:07 PM

You are correct. Welcome to the Downs!

Crystal Heart · 01-20-2004, 11:37 AM

I'm right?! Rock on! Thanks for the welcome. It is truly wonderful to be here.

Here is mine:

I give mine it to will I whom

Evisse the Blue · 02-14-2004, 02:47 PM

Crystal Heart, can we have a hint please?

Arvedui III · 02-14-2004, 06:38 PM

It sounds like it could be what Arwen says, "It is mine to give to whom I will". Only, the 'is' is missing.

Evisse the Blue · 02-17-2004, 02:40 AM

Ok, here comes a new one:

"Our not but after for those who make will we come times of the legends"

bilbo_baggins · 03-29-2004, 07:39 PM

I don't quite know the last one...

But it's been over a month, and this Thread looks interesting, so...

"Unaltered bookish and fin, your end the leaving!"

Have fun Guessing!

Evisse the Blue · 06-07-2004, 02:25 AM

Quote:

"Finish your book and leave the endind unaltered"

Gandalf to Bilbo.

That was a really good one!

Tuor of Gondolin · 09-14-2004, 03:48 PM

Over three months. Restart?
And since ROTK is out, should that be included?

Quote:

Evisse the Blue · 09-16-2004, 11:06 AM

Quote:

of plain sweet hill to from the and is sweet the stream falls sound rain that

would be

Quote:

Sweet is the sound of falling rain and the stream that falls from hill to plain

Tuor of Gondolin · 09-16-2004, 02:30 PM

Correct. Your turn.
(Sung by)?

Evisse the Blue · 09-17-2004, 12:40 PM

Sung by Merry (hehe, these freudian tongue (finger?) slips, I wrote 'my Merry' but then corrected myeself

).

Get this:

"Of one fit the funnies, but is bests get one of the queer he best."

Firefoot · 01-10-2005, 08:31 PM

I think it might be this:

Quote:

"Gets funny queer fits, but he is one of the best, one of the best - as fierce as a dragon in a pinch."

Which would be Gandalf to the Dwarves.

Evisse the Blue · 01-11-2005, 12:44 AM

That's the one, Firefoot! Well done!

Firefoot · 01-11-2005, 06:31 AM

Thanks.
