Frodo Sugar: "You mean you wasted my investment of 500 groats on this toot? Celebrimbor, you're fired!"

For hours, Frodo had been trying to melt ants with the magnifying glass, only to be told by Sam that the 'glass' bit had been removed.

Aha! So you weren't please to see me, it really was a ring in your pocket.

It was only seconds later that Frodo realised that Smeagol had swapped the Ring for a hula-hoop.

shameless recycling plug ;-)
Frodo: "It was Professor Plum, in the Kitchen...with the lead pipe!"
Sam: "Uh, that's not a lead pipe." Frodo: "I know. Gollum bent it when he lost the last game so we recycled it." |

It was in that moment Frodo realised the second and less known way to destroy the one ring! Squishing it between two fingers.

Frodo: "Yes, Sam, this Ring is the keystone of my evil plan, which I don't mind explaining to you since you will die anyway. Gollum, show him the first slide."
Beren: "I have a bad feeling about this!" " Luthien: "Chin up, Beren! Dark lord fortresses always have a weakness or two somewhere."

A little known tale of Beren and Luthien is that on their way to Angban they got into a fierce argument about whether or not Luthien looked fat as a bat.

Luthien: Don't loose heart! I can see the dark fortress already!
Beren: Not to be of disappointment, but how can you actually see where you're going? Luthien: ...You mean to say I'm blind as a bat? Well that's rather bland, y'know... ~ Just nature Ka

Luthien had no idea what a chauvinist Beren was until he transformed into a wolf and began marking his property....chase ensued.

In the future, WW games will still take place - though because of time restraints and lack of original plots, there will be only two people playing.
SPM: Wait...you're the WereBat?? tp: What, we're both Gifteds? Modperson!!!!!

It wasn't for another twelve minutes that Luthien would realise that it wasn't Beren she was trying to give a hug to, but an ordinary wolf.
OR Luthien: I swear! The fish was THIS big! Baeren: Pfft. Yeah, whatever you say.

Beren and Luthien did not realise glowing blue eye sockets would be a side effect of the transformation until too late...

It was only a few minutes later that Beren realised that the only reason Luthien followed him into deepest peril was that he had a piece of delicious cheese stuck to his leg.
OR Beren and Luthien demand a refund for their make-over.

In the Lay of Leithian there was no mention that Beren and Lśthien read too often Franz Kafka.

Luthien angrily chases Beren out of the local park after noticing he did not 'scoop'.

"When you said you wanted to dress up Luthien, this isn't what I had in mind!"

Luthien: "You might be wearing a wolf-hame but it does not give you any excuse to cock your leg on my prize hemlocks!"

Luthien: You remembered to turn off the oven, didn't you? And the stove, right? You checked the stove..? What about the coffee maker? Hm? The water heater? I seriously hope you didn't leave that running somehow... OH! The toaster! Eru there'll be nothing left!!
Beren: ...I want you to stop talking until you realize exactly what you look like. OR And somewhere far in the distance "Eye of the Tiger" was starting to play...

Secrets of Middle-earth #765
Christopher Tolkien didn't decipher his dad's handwriting correctly. He thought he was writing about the fea. In fact he was writing about the terrible infestation of fleas that Beren and Luthien carried across Beleriand.

Instead of playing that old favourite childhood game of "Dinner dinner dinner dinner, dinner dinner dinner dinner, Batman!" Beren and Luthien decided to play "Dinner supper luncheon brekkie, dinner supper luncheon brekkie, Batelf!"

Beren: Look, if we just turn left up here, I'm sure Angband is just over the next ridge!
Luthien: Oh for goodness sake! Let's have a new picture! Tolkien: "In a tower block in London there lived a Hobbit." What do you think? Edith: Erm... Do you think 'In a hole in the ground' would be better? OR Tolkien: What are you doing in my house?

Tolkien's thoughts as this photo was taken just after LotR was released: If I pretend to care about this rubbish then maybe somebody will buy it. . .

The Professor quickly checks around the room before slipping to the bookcase and pulling the special book that opens the gateway to his secret pipe weed store.
