I just got a rush course in quenya grammar today. In one hour.

Yeah, so I remember nothing, but it wasn't really all that confusing for the most part. At least no more so than Sanskrit. That silly sandhi.

trolls' bane · 10-27-2005, 12:17 AM

You people are crazy. What next? Will you start speaking Quenya?

Embladyne · 10-27-2005, 12:23 AM

Well, the same friend is writing a Quenya drinking song. You know where this is going, I'm sure.

Bombadillo · 10-27-2005, 12:31 AM

Alright, I know it's completely random, but I have to post these. I found them both on my hard drive from I don't know when, and I just cracked up.

Ah, so how is everyone? I guess this is the thread to come to after about two months of weekly posting. I'm getting bored of RL again.

***Rían*** · 10-27-2005, 01:16 AM

Oh, Bombadillo, that one on the bottom is just HORRIBLE!

*applies elvish mind bleach*

Grey_Wolf · 10-27-2005, 03:22 AM

Pytt, I am sorry. You were correct in your guess.

I will keep a tighter ship from now on and not let my sometimes muddy mind mess up the game.

Embladyne · 10-27-2005, 10:27 AM

Somebody had fun with photoshop.

Hugo Weaving's most memorable role for me, however, was as a drag queen in The Adventures of Priscillla, Queen of the Desert.

The last sane person · 10-27-2005, 10:59 AM

Dear lord, I cracked up and burst the time I saw agent Elrond in the movies. I had no idea he was cast! I burst out, "Holy cow! Its that Drag queen from Priscilla, Queen of the Desert! Whats he doing as Elrond!?" About the entire audience were laughing during the entire council meeting. Fortunatly, this was a while after it had come out, so these poeple had probably seen it a few times, and didnt mind not hearing the dialouge for all the laughter...

The last sane person · 10-27-2005, 11:03 AM

This is my sig from another board., I have a few others...must find them though.

Embladyne · 10-27-2005, 11:14 AM

So glad I'm not the only one to see "Agent Elrond, the Drag Queen." I was afraid the world did not share my amusement, and was the poorer for it.

Yeah, I kept up a commentary while watching the movies, too, but the only I saw when it first came out in theatre was RotK. And it was so loud only my two friends (who had already seen it the day before) could hear me talking. And I amused them.

Very punny.

Would you like some tea with that?

Spock · 10-27-2005, 12:29 PM

sounds like you have a cold.....I'll take a cup of tea and you do the same, perhaps with some honey

Embladyne · 10-27-2005, 05:09 PM

Best phrase I've ever learned in any language, I learned in Sanskrit today.

"He who has nothing better to do studies Sanskrit."
yasyaanyaa gatir naasti, sa samskrtam pathati.

That's the closest I can write it on this keyboard with the roman font.

And, today, I also got a parcel from my mommy! It had the mexican hot chocolate I asked for, and halloween treat bags for my roommies and I.

Lady Marion Magdalena · 10-27-2005, 05:13 PM

Speaking of good phrases to know in other languages...

Favorite phrase learned in latin thus far:

"victimam sacrificare vis?"

Would you like to sacrifice the victim?

Embladyne · 10-27-2005, 05:45 PM

Nice.

My favourite in Chinese was the conversation where one friend is asking the other to hang out with them, but the second friend keeps saying all the suggestions of activities are boring. Finally the first friend get's fed up and says, "Since you don't like my ideas, what do you want to do?"
And the second friend says, "Nothing. I just want to sleep."

So useful.

***Rían*** · 10-27-2005, 06:55 PM

Ugh - I think Elrond was the worst casting in the movies

He looks terminally constipated!

The last sane person · 10-27-2005, 07:01 PM

I am glad I wasnt the only one to noitce. That and Celeborn....AAAAARG!

Elemmírë · 10-27-2005, 08:18 PM

Elrond... yeah. Definitely worst cast.

That friend is my neighbour, so I'm not the one who did the corrupting this time

(though I think I turned her into a Maedhros fangirl...

).

And a Silmarillion drinking game! Don't forget!

...gah, I feel so horrible. I think I'll go to bed right now. The earliest in the last... two years.
