If you could ask ONE question...?
Disclaimer: Okay, this has probably been done before, but I *did* try looking. Close/merge if needed.
Anyway, where was I? Oh yes. Inspired by the dead person thread, if you could somehow touch base with Tolkien - seance, raising his corpse, etc, etc, what ONE question would you ask him? And I DO mean ONE question!! *Frowns in the general direction of Earniel* And can we please try and keep away from the Balrog....? |

Hmm, good question -
How about "could you please give me some advice on living?" He seemed like a pretty cool guy. Not a Middle Earth question, but hey....I'm in a philosophical mood.... As for a ME question, well, gotta think on that one....

I'd ask him why he let Melkor stink up the music so much!

Can I come and live at your place?
Or you can come to my place. I'll sleep in the living room, and you can have my room. I'll spruce it up for you. PLEEEEEEEEEASE!!!!!!!!

Yup, I'm pathetic. How about "You're dead!!! What are you doing here??"

Come on girl! Start groveling! We're talking about TOLKIEN! My HERO!
Hmm...well, I suppose my original question wouldn't work... It'd probably be a religious question, nothing interesting to many of you. I suppose I might ask him: 1) for a long and lengthy exposition on his mythical views. 2) about his view of Ephesians 2: 8-9 in regards to Justification. 3) Is Eru God? 4) Do Elves have pointed ears? 6) Do Balrogs have....um...never mind.... 7) If Gandalf was in any way related to the Witnesses of Revelation. 8) Advice on living, like Rian said. 9) If he could tell me a story, like Rian said. (me=copycat :rolleyes) 10) What does it all mean? 11) What's it like up there? 12) -faints from sheer delight- Lizra, I could answer that question for you.

How could you say that Legolas was the less important member of the fellowship?

No, seriously. Ruinel and Baby-K caused that idea and I thought I put it into my sig because my avatar isn't very individual anymore.

Anyway, I'd ask him to highlight which particular parts of his mythos' was he leaning towards, ie orks from men, or elves, and how myths transformed fits in with everything. Edited to fix two typos. What can I say? My fingers are cold. Last edited by Sheeana : 05-28-2003 at 02:27 AM. |

I'd go with Rian's "Can you tell me a story?"
