Quote Game-Part 8
Here we go with part 8. The same rules apply as before.
Basically, you take a quote and remove every second letter, and put a slash between words. Whoever identifies the last element, be it quote, speaker, or both posts the next one. example: A_l/_h_t/_s/_o_d/_o_s/_o_/g_i_t_r answer: All that is gold does not glitter, Gandalf's letter (or Bilbo Baggins) Anything from the books: The Hobbit, LOTR, the Silmarillion, or Unfinished Tales is fair game. Suggestions for posting: Some gamers find this method best, fastest, easiest and most accurate. When you've found your quote, type it all in without blanks, simply using the '/' instead of a space, as well as before and after each punctuation mark. Just after a punctuation mark can be a convenient place for a carriage return, if the spacing looks good. After typing, check for spelling and to see that all the words are correct. Then go through and replace every other letter with an underscore '_' - this goes quickly if you use the 'forward arrow' key to advance, use the 'delete' key and then add the underscore where the letter was. Oh - and we try our best to solve the quotes without looking them up.

"Home! It smells like Elves!" ???
That fits, but I can't make sense of it... Sam?

uh... "hmmm"? Gimli?
"Hmph!" could work there too.. except for the spelling. I got stuck on Hmph for a while... then I had to get past it.

Hmmm is correct. Speaker is not Gimli, however.

Not Gorbag. You've been getting progressively further away with pretty much every guess.

Nope. Still the right species though.
And if it's not Frodo, Sam, Merry, or Pippin...
