It is clearly human hands attacking the Little green thing. . .and it is located in a normal building. The creature attacking me on the other hand was clearly not of this world, dwelling in cold and clamy caves underground. Now that is truly scarry! |

Yes, I can definitely agree on that and probably can't say it better

Some of those pics are in the thread "I met a fellow BDer!". There's more in facebook... (You have an account in facebook, right?)

Hookbill's latest is a bit . . . repetitive. But I'm sorry to see he isn't drinking out of an official Barrow Downs mug.

We do do more than just go to weddings; we don't dress up that often.

There is something Hobbit-familylike in your family Alatar!
I can't put my finger on it exactly but it sure is there!

Fecundity? Sweetness? Fondness for Party Trees?

Even if that's quite correct I'm not sure the thing can be reduced to just these...

Definitely the fondness for trees! The littlest one actually looks as though she has wings though.

Thanks for all of the kind comments, though I'd thought we were more wizardly..

Well, al, you do look tall enough and slender enough to be able to make swishy movements in wizard robes but the rest of the clan seems a bit shortish in comparison. It is really only Mrs. al who we can see does not have hobbit feet--unless she, er, um, *cough* depilates them? She looks great in a very dishy dress though!

alatar continues in his willful disbelief in regards to his children, though they do tend to eat as only hobbits can (and hence the reason he takes them to places were it snows food and rains drink, as they say).

Your children look adorable. Your eldest(?) daughter really takes after he mother doesn't she... the little ones look more like you.
She looks great in a very dishy dress though! And that after FOUR children - if it weren't for the above mentioned strong likeness you'd swear she'd stolen them....

I'm already on the photo page, as Mad Baggins, but I completely forgot my password so I had to make a new profile. Bummer.
Seeing as how that picture is about three or four years old, I'm definitely sending in a new one.

My picture got put up on the photo page a while back, so you all can go admire it if you haven't already.

And speaking of that, I made sir Volo upgrade my picture with a more recent one (taken not even a week ago)... so you can look at it too when you are looking on Cobbler's one. (Er... already happened )

I love it when old members return. . .I often go through the photo page and look at the people who left the forum before I joined, I think they give this place a sence of mythical history.

I couldn't agree more. And tat "mythical history" is much longer for me- I joined over two years after you.

Since I'm in a mood for commenting today
Lhuna's hair is adorable, Legate looks like a hobbit and Cabbie like a Greek statue.

Name edit is great. I assume we send in the pic via e-mail, as I am about to do...

I was suspecting this, but now this new photo shows me that I am totally right about this... Legate is an elf in disguise! (perhaps Pengolodh)
How else should he be so good in the Quiz Room?! Aha, I knew it!

Agan thinks Legate looks like a Hobbit; The Might thinks Legate looks like an Elf. Is it just me, or is there something completely weird about this?
Oh, and I thought my hair looked all messed up - as it normally does. Thanks, Agan. Welcome back, Mad Baggins! Last edited by Lhunardawen; 05-07-2008 at 06:57 AM. |

Hmm...I think it's about time I posted photos of my recents meetings with BDers in Europe:
Rune and me in Copenhagen. Don't laugh at our matching turquoise outfits- we were at an ice bar where everyone else was wearing them too. Oh yeah...you know you're jealous. But outfits aside, I'm afraid it is a rather bad picture of me (and that's after fixing the red eye)...but it's the only one of the two of us on this particular trip. Legate and me in Prague. This picture was taken on the Charles Bridge, which is the most touristy bridge I've ever been to. This one was posted elsewhere before, but I think it deserves reposting in the proper photo thread. Volo, Greenie, Aganzir, Lommy, and me at the train station in Helsinki just before I left. Hmm...I think we ought to photoshop Nogrod into this picture... The brief meeting of Amanaduial, tgwbs, Anguirel, and me in Oxford right after a formal hall. A few days later, tgwbs and me had drinks at The Eagle and Child (of course). Laitoste and me in London during the intermission of the LotR Musical. Kath and me outside a bar after have plenty to drink. It's a good picture...I don't think we look too tipsy. And Volo, to answer a question from Facebook: If you want to post the final picture on the photo page, you can either use the photo from this link or I can email you a copy. I'm not sure if it'll be better quality or not.

I think it was 3/4 full. . .I doubt that it is often completely packed as the prices after the first drink is ridicules, anyways they where all wearing outfits identical to ours.
Hey Brinn, I love you photo's from Oxford. . . However I was very suprised by the tallness of Anguirel |
