Welcome Leia and Tom. Enjoy your deaths.

Tam Lin · 08-21-2006, 12:23 AM

Just stopping by to say hello!

Brinniel · 08-21-2006, 01:38 AM

Hello and welcome, Tam Lin.

BTW, I love your name. I discovered that ballad through a music group called the Medieval Baebes. I absolutely love the lyrics.

Happy Posting.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 08-22-2006, 01:12 PM

Welcome shieldmaiden4xsword

shieldmaiden4xsword · 08-22-2006, 01:23 PM

Glirdan · 08-22-2006, 01:26 PM

You'll get a hang of it. Welcome to your death!

shieldmaiden4xsword · 08-22-2006, 01:28 PM

Is it just me or do I hear evil laughter?

LOL thanks everyone.....

Sleepy Ranger · 08-22-2006, 03:57 PM

Welcome to the 'Downs Shieldmaiden. If you like the Quiz forum then I'd suggest taking a look at Quotable Quotes as well.

shieldmaiden4xsword · 08-22-2006, 07:37 PM

Thank you.......I'll definitely check it out.

guys, i don't have internet connect for a few days/weeks because of having the floors replaced, so I'll visit this then. Sorry about that.

Namárië!!!

Kath · 08-23-2006, 07:11 PM

Welcome to the Downs all newbies. From my recent wanderings it looks like you're all getting stuck in.

Rikae · 08-25-2006, 10:00 AM

Hello! This looks like a fun place to spend one's afterlife...

I've been a Tolkien fan since I read the Hobbit (20 years ago) and LOTR (19 years ago). Reread many times since, and no other book has taken their place in my heart. The PJ movies were the only movies I went to the trouble to watch in the theatre since my kids were born. Though the movies weren't perfect (I think I'm too much of a Tolkien fan to ever be fully satisfied with a film version), they are definitely up there among my favorite movies of all time. (Besides, there are two actors I like very much in them...and you'll never guess who!)
About me...I'm a divorced (well, not officially yet) mom of 3 girls and am back in college now, finishing up my Bachelor's: major in Studio Art & minor Media and Society, then it's on to grad school. My hobbies etc. are art (of course), gardening, reading & movies (I'm a sucker for fantasy & sci-fi, and a MP fan), backpacking, and spending way too much time on the internet.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 08-25-2006, 10:07 AM

Welcome Rikae

I hope that you will enjoy your stay in this humble Barrow. I think that you should be able to get you need to discus both movies and books here. . . If you like the more silly kind of fun, then Mirth will surely be the place place for you to be.

Sleepy Ranger · 08-25-2006, 12:42 PM

Welcome aboard Rikae! If you can ever find the time do check out Quotable Quotes. I doubt you'd find anyone here who is satisfied with the movies but we like them all the same. Uh... well at least a bit at any rate. Hope you enjoy your stay here.

Kath · 08-25-2006, 01:16 PM

Welcome to the Downs Rikae.

If you weren't entirely satisfied with the films you might want to check out the Sbs threads, as those take them apart pretty ruthlessly but praise what was good as well.

Might I ask what MP is?

Sleepy Ranger · 08-25-2006, 01:21 PM

In my fields MP would be, Magic Points/Mana or Multi-Player. (though I doubt anyone uses MP as a reference for that)

Of course MP could mean a bunch of other things but from her interests I'd say its Metroid Prime. Since I'm not sure how someone'd fall in love with MP unless they were a wizard...

Gil-Galad · 08-25-2006, 01:39 PM

Monty Python perhaps?

we have many fans of those

again welcome Rikae

Rikae · 08-26-2006, 09:31 AM

Yep, Monty Python.

Why do you think I have this outrageous accent?!

Kath · 08-26-2006, 11:36 AM

Ah! Well in that case you are doubly welcome.

And Gil's right, there are many Monty Python fans on here, as you'll probably be able to see from some of the avatars.

too many... but how many of them have put on a Monty Python Tribute production??

*raises hand*

shieldmaiden4xsword · 08-28-2006, 03:21 PM

The Mouth of Sauron · 08-30-2006, 04:58 PM

I am the Mouth of Sauron .

Gil-Galad · 08-31-2006, 01:10 AM

Welcome The Mouth of Sauron.

Hilde Bracegirdle · 08-31-2006, 05:42 AM

Does that mean you are unemployed?

A welcome to The Mouth of Sauron!

Elanor · 08-31-2006, 03:41 PM

Hello! I'm not new, but I'm posting here because I haven't been to the Downs in aaaages. Years. Oops. But it's very reassuring to see so many familiar names still here. How is everyone? Have I missed anything exciting in the last couple of years?

Rune Son of Bjarne · 08-31-2006, 03:57 PM

I wouldn't know I haven't been a member a year yet. . .

Welcome back, it always makes me happy to see "old" members re-join.

Thanks! That is all a lot to take in... I shall have to get down to some solid reading, I think. I feel like a Tolkien newbie all over again now...

Greetings my fellow Tolkien fans,

I am new here. I love Tolkien's works, so I decided to join. I've read the Silmarillion, and am now working on The Hobbit (as I want to read the stories in chronological order). I, of course, love the villains - hence the name.

Glad to meet everyone.

Gil-Galad · 09-01-2006, 08:59 PM

Welcome Arathul and Morgoth.

so Morgoth is from california? more like Cali-Angband

Meneltarmacil · 09-01-2006, 09:53 PM

Welcome to the Barrow-Downs, Morgoth. Here you will find plenty to do with Tolkien and his works. Whether you want to have fun or engage in serious discussions, there's almost certainly something you'll like here.

By the way, how did you get a computer all the way out there in the Void?

Hilde Bracegirdle · 09-02-2006, 06:48 AM

Make yourself at home Arathul and Morgoth. (And this is the only time you'll catch me being so cordial to 'The Black Enemy'.

)
