Try The Barrowdowns you'll like it.
I found this site that I thought would be fun to mess around with here. It creates slogans for you.
You could use your 'Downs name, personal title, whatever (but let's make sure we keep this Middle-earth/Tolkien related). Also, let's be honest and use the first slogan you get. So, my slogan is: "Who would you have a Boromir88 with?" Edit: As for the thread title, "Try the Barrowdowns you'll like it" that was the slogan that I got for The Barrowdowns, but if you click on the link, I think you will all see a different one.

It's Rohan time! Have you had your REB today? Have a break. Have a canonicity. I think, therefore, Cryptic Aura. OR There's always room for Cryptic Aura. Nice find, Boro88

My favorite was definitely "Happiness is a Folwren cigar."
EDIT: Only because...you all realize, I hope...because it was so wacko and ... not me.

That's funny, Boro! Right when I clicked it this popped up at me:
If you can't beat the Barrowdowns, join the Barrowdowns! A good piece of advice, isn't it? And Nothing works better than a Legate of Amon Lanc. Wow, this seems really like a nice page. Definitely intelligent and worth following With A Name Like A Voice That Gainsayeth, It Has To Be Good. I like these

The Loudest Noise Comes From The Electric Aganzir.
Tonight, Let It Be Agan. Savour the Flavour of Dwarf. This machine is nasty to me. But quite right about the Downs... With A Name Like The Barrow-Downs, It Has To Be Good. If You Really Want To Know, Look In The The Barrow-Downs.

This is fun - thanks for sharing, Boro!
"Come See the Softer Side of The Barrowdowns." was the slogan that greeted me upon first click. "Go On, Get Your Skwerlz Out." - well, if that isn't good advice for me! Additionally: "Bring Out The Skwerl." "What Can Princess Of Skwerlz Do For You?" "Nothing Acts Faster Than Estelyn Telcontar." "Where Do You Want Entish Bow To Go Today?" or: "Leggo my Entish Bow!"

Oh, what an amusing thread. I must say I laughed aloud when I saw "The Loudest Noise Comes From The Electric Aganzir" and "Savour the Flavour of Dwarf".
Now, what about the following? Get the Werewolf habit. Perfect. But I'd Rather Have a Bowl of Paper Telephone. So would I. There Ain't No Party Like An Assigned To Mordor Party. This can be interpreted in several ways... Or The Non-Sticky Sticky Thinlómien. What? You Can Be Sure of Lommy. Can you? A Shady She-Penguin Is Forever. That was appropriate...

Flame of the Ainulindalë
|
Hilarious!
I almost dropped from my chair when this emerged from the generator! It Takes A Tough Man To Make A Tender Nogrod. And I might consider changing my signature into this at least when playing werewolf: Watch Out, There's a Nogrod About. I also liked this one: When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Flame Of The Ainulindalë. whatever one thinks it means... But I was somewhat amused about the general tone of the slogans... - Nothin' Says Lovin' Like Nogrod from the Oven. - You Can Really Taste The Nogrod! - Sweet as the Moment When the Flame Of The Ainulindalë Went "Pop" - Devon Knows How They Make Flame Of The Ainulindalë So Creamy. - They Drink Flame Of The Ainulindalë In The Congo. So most of the things relating to me are about eating or drinking? How accurate!

Thank you, I'm glad people are having as much fun as I am. I agree with Legate, the slogans for The Barrowdowns and WW are so appropriate.
Hmm...I was greeted with another appropriate one about The Barrowdowns: There aint no party like The Barrowdowns party "Snap! Crackle! Gandalf!" I'm trying to figure out what this one means... "The Denethor of a new generation"...anyone? And I'm definitely going to have to disagree with this one: "Smart. Beautiful. Shelob."

Bwahaha! The one that greeted me was:
"Come to Life, Come to The Barrowdowns" How inappropriate! For me: "Kills all known Rikae - dead" Well, if my role is known, I suppose I can expect to be killed. "Unzip a Rikae" No comment. "It needn't be hell with Rikae" Then again,it probably will be. "Splash Rikae all over" And I thought my death narrations were gruesome... "Kids will do anything for Rikae" Pfft.

Wow! I could have had a Pilgrim Soul!
This is not your father's Mithalwen I should jolly well hope not - I am my own person.
The coolest Mithalwen on Ice They obviously didn't see me failing to Ice Skate last week Kills all known Mithalwen dead - Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek Cleans right round the Mithalwen - now I am an euphemism.. It's different in a Mithalwen - How very dare you... Cleans your floor without Mithalwen Just as well - Mithalwen hates cleaning floors... Hand built by Mithalwen Not a great recommendation... It it live or is it Mithalwen? We're all dead here ... and I perk up after a dose of caffeine Come to Life, Come to Mithalwen. Getting better ...and these are sig-worthy Wouldn't you rather be Mithalwen? All Mithalwen, all the time. Boromir, this is addictive!

There seems to be some handy helpers around there as well... but on which side?
You Press the Silmarillion, We Do the Rest. Gandalf at the jewellery: Pardon Me, Do You Have Any Grey Silmarillion? Or try the following line to charm the one you've a crush on and you'll never get to hang around others than Tolkien lovers... I Like the Silmarillion in You.

This time, I was greeted by:
Nobody does it like The Barrowdowns. And inspired by Nogrod's effort, I tried... The Hobbit stays sharp till the bottom of the glass. And since I haven't seen The Might around here, sorry Miggy, but I could not resist putting your name in: Gonna be a while? Grab a Miggy.* Sounds like a slogan that should hover over the Quiz Room when one is there alone and no one seems to be posting Another one: Double the pleasure, double the Chat Skwerl! Not sure whether one isn't sufficient already... EDIT: Now reading it, I recall there used to go (around here at least) a commercial on the snack named "Twiggy"... hm... maybe...

It's a Gandalf The Grey Uncloaked Adventure!
Ohh yes, I remember this - the site I used was www.sloganizer.net - but the ones this one comes up with seem to be funnier.
Strong and Beautiful, Just like The Barrowdowns Recommended by Dr. The Barrowdowns Oddwen is What We Do () Strong Enough for a Man, Made for an Oddwen (rotfl!!) The Best Oddwen Under One Roof I'd Walk a Mile for Oddwen Who would you have a Crazy Captions with? It's Not T.V., It's Crazy Captions. (Which is much, much better than t.v.!) Every Kiss Begins With Crazy Captions Stop! This New Movie Script is not Ready Yet! Run For The New Movie Script! New Movie Script Unscripted If Only Everything in Life was as Reliable as a Barrowdowns Newspaper A Finger of Barrowdowns Newspaper is Just Enough to Give Your Kids a Treat Why Can't Everything Orange Be Phantom And Alien? Wait Till We Get Our Phantom And Alien On You Daddy or Phantom And Alien? The Best Part of Waking Up is Phantom And Alien in Your Cup And you know the party ain't started 'til... There Ain't No Party Like An Uncloaked Party When You've Got Gandalf The Grey Uncloaked, Flaunt It Did Somebody Say Gandalf The Grey Uncloaked? The Home of Gandalf The Grey Uncloaked Nothing Sucks Like A Gandalf The Grey Uncloaked

I'm not quite sure about the theological implications of this.
God made Werewolf. But they seem to suggest nice new adjectives though. What would you describe as Werewolfrific? Dueling Wizards - Just do it. You can't stop Dueling Wizards. It looks like a deal then? Although I'm not sure about this line... You're in Good Hands with Dueling Wizards. And just to look at our RPGs as well. It's a Lot Less Treachery Of Men Than a Hover. Designed for Treachery Of Men, Engineered to Last. Because I'm Worth Eorling Mead Hall. The Best Eorling Mead Hall A Man Can Get. Moms Like You Choose Fellowship Of The Fourth Age. A Day Without Fellowship Of The Fourth Age is Like a Day Without Sunshine.

If only everything in life was as reliable as an Orc.
A slogan for the Long Defeat! Have you forgotten how good orc tastes? I always suspected advertising was a form of cannibalism. The curiously strong eagle. Yes Nobody does it like Bird and Baby. Some other pubs will beg to differ.

Get back your "Ooo" with Azaelia Not quite sure what that even means...
My Anti-drug is Azaelia The dirt says Hot, the label says Azaelia I guess that's a compliment, but I really wouldn't describe myself as hot. hahaha. But I'd rather have a bowl of the Barrowdowns! The incredible, edible Barrowdowns Boromir the Disco King unscripted I think that might be my favorite.
