Yes. I always claim that Sam became especially proliferous because of close encounter with Galadriel´s "fertilizer".
Next issue: What king of Arthedain travelled on a sled?

Correct. I wonder if he also tried ice-skating?

They probably had time to learn ALL those winter sports!
OK... What were the Barrowdowns called, of old? |

When Aragorn first saw Arwen, what were his first words to her?

Hey gang,
Not to seem too impatient (or 'hasty'!), but should we have maybe a 3-day (full 72 hours) limit to get a question posted once someone has gotten a green light? Then after that, it's an all-comers game for the next post? I understand it's easy to forget (Edit: I've done it myself!) where you've given an answer - so there's no bad feelings associated. Just wonder if that'll be a nice way to keep the thread moving. I also suggest that after 2 days, someone do a 'courtesy PM' to the one with the right to post, if that's possible. I'll PM The Gaffer right now... Maybe this would help in the other trivia threads as well? - Val Last edited by Valandil : 12-17-2003 at 12:11 PM. |

Sorry for the delay, folks; been too busy of late to get on the moot.
I agree too; maybe in those cases it should revert to the last person to ask the next one. What was Rohan called before the Rohirrim settled there? |

I wouldn't say 'too easy' - some things some of us will know, other things others will know... still others, just about anyone would have to look up!
OK - my question: Once the hobbits of the Shire gave up looking for the return of a king, of what would they use the expression, "When the King comes back."? |

Are you asking what they meant when using the expression? If so, the answer is "never".
