i'm pretty sure you're right

Kirinki54 · 12-11-2003, 06:22 PM

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?

***Valandil*** · 12-11-2003, 06:25 PM

We know Arvedui did... at least once!

Kirinki54 · 12-11-2003, 06:30 PM

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

***Valandil*** · 12-13-2003, 02:04 AM

They probably had time to learn ALL those winter sports!

OK... What were the Barrowdowns called, of old?

Tyrn Gorthad?

***Valandil*** · 12-14-2003, 11:52 PM

Tyrn Gorthad is correct! You're up to bat, Dunedain.

Dúnedain · 12-15-2003, 01:25 AM

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

The Gaffer · 12-15-2003, 06:08 AM

Tinuviel?

Yup!

"For a moment Aragorn gazed in silence, but fearing that she would pass away and never be seen again, he called to her crying, Tinúviel, Tinúviel! even as Beren had done in the Elder Days long ago."

***Valandil*** · 12-17-2003, 11:25 AM

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?

I agree.

The Gaffer · 12-18-2003, 07:39 AM

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?

***Valandil*** · 12-18-2003, 10:33 AM

That would be 'Calenardhon' - eh?

The Gaffer · 12-19-2003, 09:28 AM

Nicely done. Was that too easy??

Your go, V.

***Valandil*** · 12-19-2003, 09:52 AM

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."?

Bacchus · 12-19-2003, 06:48 PM

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

Dúnedain High King of Númenórë Join Date: Jan 2003 Location: Númenórë <--United States of America Posts: 1,947	When Aragorn first saw Arwen, what were his first words to her? __________________ 'Et Eärello Endorenna utúlien. Sinome maruvan ar Hildinyar tenn' Ambar-metta!' - And those were the words that Elendil spoke when he came up out of the Sea on the wings of the wind: 'Out of the Great Sea to Middle-earth I am come. In this place will I abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world.' 'Then Tuor arrayed himself in the hauberk, and set the helm upon his head, and he girt himself with the sword; black were sheath and belt with clasps of silver. Thus armed he went forth from Turgon's hall, and stood upon the high terraces of Taras in the red light of the sun. None were there to see him, as he gazed westward, gleaming in silver and gold, and he knew not that in that hour he appeared as one of the Mighty of the West, and fit to be father of the kings of the Kings of Men beyond the Sea, as it was indeed his doom to be; but in the taking of those arms a change came upon Tuor son of Huor, and his heart grew great within him. And as he stepped down from the doors the swans did him reverence, and plucking each a great feather from their wings they proffered them to him, laying their long necks upon the stone before his feet; and he took the seven feathers and set them in the crest of his helm, and straightway the swans arose and flew north in the sunset, and Tuor saw them no more.' -Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin "Oh. Forgive me, fairest of all males of Entmoot...Back down, all ye other wannabe fairest males! Dunedain is the fairest!" --Linaewen
