Yes, that's fine, CS

Rian, Thank you for re-installing the Alagos's foot-rubbing scene. I admit, I have not noticed it gone.

you're welcome - I put it in solely for a fun thing for Val with the intention of taking it out after he had seen it, but when I saw how you had incorporated it so well into YOUR post, I put it back in.

I was so upset these days, I admit I had difficulty to appreciate your jokes with the magazines and fans. Now I think it was funny, for those in right mood. Anyway,

CS.

thanks - I'm glad at least a few people got a smile out of it - that was the purpose. The main purpose was a fun teasing for Earniel, and she liked it, but I hoped it would get a smile out of a few others, too.

No, haven't posted the race yet. Perhaps it'll be a christmas present.

***Rían*** · 12-12-2005, 02:11 PM

Well, I sure had fun discussing the finer points of reading horse ears with you, speaking of horses!

The last sane person · 12-12-2005, 02:28 PM

Oh! I did research the ear thing, and indeed!! We do have left and right "eared" horses! If the beast was untrained to take leads and cues in any direction, the dominant side would take over, either left or right. And once the horse is trained, the only vestige of the side dominance is in its ears! Fancy that.

Apperantly we can train them to respond with either ear, but why bother? It's cuter this way.

***Rían*** · 12-12-2005, 05:04 PM

OMGoodness, that is just wild! Who would have guessed?!

It's funny that we even noticed in the first place that it was usually one ear that did the flicky thing.

Lotesse · 12-12-2005, 05:59 PM

That was a cool latest post, Shah. I liked the warm, unthreatening coziness of that pub. Reminded me of some of those Ballard area fisherman's pubs out there in Seattle...

I wonder what Oreturion & Marty will be discussing. Intriguing!

The last sane person · 12-12-2005, 06:16 PM

Yeah, that is kinda wild! Who'da thunkit?

Lotesse, thats exactly what I was going for, seeing as I was in one when I wrote that post!

Ah, tis the good life to be sure. I purposely left it open ended so that Sun-star will have a person to talk to.

Heh, its gonna be fun writing for marty now that he has tried to clean up his act to impress a girl's parents!

Hey Gordie - just for you - here's one of my earlier posts at Entmoot:

Let me know if you like it.

I loved your song, Val! It is hilarious!
I advise you, nay, I STRONGLY suggest, nay, I insist! that you should incorporate it in one of your posts here. It is too good to lie buried in an old thread.

Gordis · 12-13-2005, 12:30 PM

TD, I see you!

Could you, please, post Khamul's and Udu's talk?
Make the Chancellor appear at the end of it, if you don't mind.

Telcontar_Dunedain · 12-13-2005, 12:40 PM

Okay will do. Great post Udu, but just one thing. It seems strange to me that the Chancellor would let his lesser spies know the dentity of whom they are spying for. They are spies, and I doubt Ilmenzor trusts them to keep his identity secret. PLus Oreturion already suspects something sinister in Tharbad. If he knew the Chancellor had spies in Tharbad he would suspect the Chancellor of something sinister.

Serenoli · 12-13-2005, 01:09 PM

Val, never suspected you wrote songs... but I loved it

... all it needs is a tune, really! Very funny and clever! Gordis is right, you should put it up here...

The last sane person · 12-13-2005, 01:15 PM

It has a tune, or i think it does...Val, is it going by the same tune the beach boys used in california girls? Its a good song, But i really would think that "Back in U-M-B-A-R You dont know how lucky you are" would top the charts...*starts whislting the song*

Telcontar_Dunedain · 12-13-2005, 02:28 PM

Okay. Have posted Khamûl's account of what happened at the Gladden.
Gor The Chancellor has entered and bought Sapthan with him. Sapthan will now meet the man who has taken the position he so wanted.

Gordis · 12-13-2005, 03:08 PM

TD, well, if you want to meet Sapthan now, I believe he can come say Hi to Galadannun. But that will require Udu to change the last two lines of his previous post, making the Chancellor take Sapthan to the Library. Have you asked Udu to do this?
Udu, Is it OK to ask you to post Sapthan's introduction to the hated Galadannun and his impressions now? Or you had other ideas?

And TD AWESOME POST! I loved Khamul's story and couldn't find a single problem with it. Very nice touch about the Dark Lord and the Elves of Mirkwood.

Speaking of awesome posts, I am afraid I missed telling you how I liked yours, Shah . You are truly a great writer.

***Rían*** · 12-13-2005, 04:21 PM

Great post, TD! Lots of good details and interaction

Wonderful song, Val

(except the error about those elven girls!

)

Lotesse · 12-13-2005, 04:52 PM

TD, that was REALLY a killer post! I so enjoyed reading Khamul's account of things that he went through and did. It's been a while since we've gotten treated with some meaty Khamul dialogue, but that was really worth the wait. VERY cool!

The last sane person · 12-13-2005, 05:25 PM

Woot! There you be! Just posted myself. Nice post Sun-star, good to have you in game!

TD, awesome post about Khamul. Some things are getting clearer.

***Rían*** · 12-13-2005, 05:30 PM

wonderful posts, Sunny and Shah - a pleasure to read

I'm SO glad you joined us, Sunny! You're always great to post with!

Lotesse · 12-13-2005, 05:31 PM

Sun-star & Shah - That was a terrific exchange. It was nice to be able to feel the relationship & rapport between the elder Oreturion and Martalion. I liked that conversation a lot. i really appreciated the fact that Marty didn't see anything "gossipworthy" or worrying about our little Orrodel House - whew! Can't tell y'all how GOOD it feels to finally get to read a character saying something NICE about Orrodel & its family, instead of all the constant negativity.

GREAT POSTS!!
