Mating unfortunate vocabulary choices with Elvish interaction begets innuendo.

I might have managed to raise my mind were it not for the unfotunate conjunction with the reminder of Elros' ancestry; the impression that the Kings of Numenor were the result of a bit of R &R. on shoreleave with elves of negotiable virtue. Guess port cities are the same everywhere....

This is less a comment on "questionable thread titles" than on "questionable posters". As in, look at the bottom left of the screen where it says Welcome to our newest member.
I play a little game everytime I log into the Barrows: look at the newest member and ascertain, strictly by the name, how soon he or she shall be banned for spamming. My record for discerning such eventualities is very high. Based on my assumptions, Carpinteyroyhh is not long for this Barrow. So let us be proactive and lament the loss of Carpinteyroyhh and his Belizean time-share condo website. We hardly knew ye. Edit: ROFLMAO! It was a spam in Pigeon French (or perhaps it is termed Franglais)!

I'm rather surprised to see elizabethnavel is still with us. Perhaps her doomed love-affair with Galin's haircut has touched the otherwise stony hearts of our moderators.

The Battle of the White Council-
....was a fabled conflict in ages past, in which The Barrow-Wight, Mister Underhill, and Mithadan strove for mastery of the Downs! No wait, that was the Battle of the Wight Council.

I'm entirely too enamored of puns, but it's a hard Hobbit to break.

Ach! I guess that just goes to show the repetitive tracks on which my mind runs.

Why not start another thread about such Replies? Some weird and funny replies would be awesome and fun!

They aren't. It has drifted so even perfectly sensible thread titles get smart alecky comments I have had sulky moments of thinking that there is nothing wrong with thread titles of my own creation, and that they aren't even questions... but try not to let it rankle. And please don't let it put you off posting.

More perfectly sensible threads...
who are the nazgul? –You know those guys in the cloaks? Them.
decent of house of hurin –Well, Faramir was okay... What differentiates the Valar from the Maiar? –Isn’t it obvious? “Valar” has a “V” in it! Did Tolkien even plan to fill in the other sections of Middle-earth? –Yes, but he ran out of crayons.

How close is the published The Silmarillion to JRRT's Silmarillion? - Three letters away.

What would they do? Jump on the bed and yell "ice cream"! What else would anyone do if the supervisor leaves you?

Will The Hobbit do damage to the books? - undoubtedly. The Hobbit will bend the spines and tear the pages.

Why did the Wise not bow to the Hobbits?
You try bowing to three-foot Hobbits when you're thousands of years old. Elrond hid his back troubles well.

Was the Balrog drawn by the ring?
If so, it was drawn as a cross between a Monarch Butterfly and an angry mutant lion.

What did the movies do for you? - Ask not, what the movies did for you, but what you did for the movies!
(Or, as Nerwen accurately noted, it's more like what the movies did to you -- and therefore what you did to the movies? (Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew...)) ---- Here's some more Movie forum bashing: Skater Elf - newest version: Tauriel 3.0 Something Missing? - common sense, maybe? PJ's "Galadriel the Wraith" - Ah, so that's the true identity of the Witch-king! On a happy note: Arwen, Lothlorien, arrows, information, and little extras... - umm... Are the movies a good or bad thing? - no comment How are they going to piece 2 halves together? - use superglue. Elrond the vampire - so Thuringwethil ain't a unique species anymore? On witch sity did they do there best job? - Teh sity write thair. Can't yoo sea eat? Peter Jackson post in the' Books' - blasphemy! In response to Manwe's question... - oh, so now the King of the Valar seeks your opinion? WARNING: Hugh Spoilers Ahead... - Hugh? Don't know him. But you really shouldn't spoil him so much. Download the FOTR script - or what? Sir Ian's "Grey Book" - "it was once red," says Sir Ian, "but I forget to clean it each time I drop it into a coal or chalk mine..." The Arrogance of the Rings - those arrogant Rings! How dare they think so highly of themselves! Should I bring a hankerchief? - please don't pull a Bilbo. Which finger is the ring on? - no comment. Who Do You Agree With? - nobody. I need help with Killing the Balrog..... - why are you looking at me? (for the record, at this moment these two threads appear right next to each other in this order on page 42 of the Movies forum. I thought the combination was too good to pass) The spoilers are coming! The spoilers are coming! - Yeah yeah. Should we also brace ourselves? Very Secret Diaries... - finally revealed! Fat Sam in TTT - amazing weight loss in the duration of only one book! The Weaknesses of Men...and Hobbits - women... and other hobbits. FOTR - Chanting Wizards - too much pipe-weed. Aragorn's Hair in RotK - the King of Gondor finally outdoes the Prince of Mirkwood

Man, those movie threads really have a knack for questionable titles!
Who is more beautiful, Aragorn or Legolas? - the REAL battle of the Third Age!
If You Could Change The Script - I would dress Sauron in polka-dotted underwear. I did not... - Oh yes you did! Sauron speaks? - what, you didn't know many sentient beings can talk? A Drinking Misconception - "Wait, you're actually a Dwarf?" says Legolas after his beer-party with Gimli in Rohan. Anyone know where I can find pictures of Gildor? - under the pillows of his fangirls. Rocks: The orcs' weakness. - hit them enough times and they die. Does This Quote Mean Anything To You? - nope. Don't give two cents about it. A New Elrond - made with 100% recycled material! For anyone who's ever wanted a "Legolas Braid" - man, you're never gonna sell your product with this advertising! PLZ HELP - ASSIGNMENT - TTT DVD Chapters Help me! HELP!!!!!!!!! - ok, calm down! Where is the horse and the rider? - weren't they just there? How many times should we cry (or want to) in RotK? - hmmm..., let's make it 3.14 times. Did Gollum remind you of someone? - how about... Gollum? What is with the silent Elf??? Silence??? Does Frodo Baggins have a wife or a girl friend? - no no, I was just wondering if the spot was vacant. What disappointed you about The Two Towers? - erm, The Two Towers? A Touching Thought... - how touching indeed.
