Oh, and - my first thought was "they peeked into the Red Book of Bilbo" - but Bilbo didn't write the truth about the riddle game in there. But maybe he did include the golluming? Hmmm. *ponders*

*grits teeth* 90 seconds, 90 seconds...

Gee!

gotta go. Now. Now.

See you later, guys.

Sorry, tis morning and am in a hurry - printing stuff right now...)

Yeah, that's what I intend to do sometime tomorrow. I'll see if it is worth starting a new thread about. There might be a plain and obvious answer to this that for some reason eludes me, but if not, it bears looking into and discussing.

Lotesse · 03-08-2006, 04:19 AM

OH! And why would Pippin even WANT to tease Grishnakh in the first place, with the whole 'gollum, gollum' noise in the throat and saying "Nothing, my precious" after that. WHAT?! How did Pip even know to say things in the manner of Smeagol, and why would he even want to push Grishnakh's buttons, anyway? Was it something eLSE making him say that? *cue Twilight Zone music.* Inquiring minds want to know, precious. Oh, yes.

Farimir Captain of Gondor · 03-08-2006, 09:34 AM

Good Morning Mooternam!

Robin Williams gotta love him.

*makes an O.J. looks for bar tab finds none.*

Poor Indy. Sorry TB, thought the free drink thing might help.

Ugh! Today is laundry day. How i loath laundry! If I had the money I'd simply give my old clothes to the Goodwill and buy new ones and never do laundry again

. To the question you posted Tessa, the only thing I can think of is Bilbo did like to tell stories and I'm sure Pip and Merry had heard all of them atleast twice. They knew everyone was looking for Gollum so by doing that maybe he was hopeing they(the orcs) would just think they had snaged Gollum by mistake and let them go. Their mission was to grab the hobbits not Gollum. You might want to put that in the book forum. Well, I'm going to take a stroll through the moot.

See ya.

Spock · 03-08-2006, 11:58 AM

hmmm, lets take the gollum thing into the books section please.

Meanwhile, I'll make some fresh Blue Mt. Coffee as the Starbucks isn't open yet .

Snowdog · 03-08-2006, 06:55 PM

Some are legends in their own minds....

Ok, I want coffee and I want it NOW!

Spock · 03-08-2006, 07:17 PM

oh, sorry, I was just cleaning the machine....here's a fresh cup.

Snowdog · 03-08-2006, 08:30 PM

*sip sip*
*explodes spitting it all over*
Bleh! Tastes like drain cleaner!

***RÃan*** · 03-08-2006, 10:09 PM

*takes the cup from Snowdog*

*sips it*

Tastes fine to me!

But I prefer Chai ...

*goes over to Chai machine and makes a fresh cuppa*

White choc. chip scones for anyone who wants one!

*puts a plate on the table*

Sam probably told Pippin about Smeagol/Gullum. Pippin wanted to escape from the very smelly orc, of course!

trolls' bane · 03-08-2006, 11:46 PM

Yay! I've gone and typed up a form for my JV/FOLD/Docent hike, which I'm hoping will attract as few people as possible, and I'm hoping my hidden motive here goes as planned.
I hope at least Nick Steffanoff will come notice it.

I gave up soda for Lent and it's sooo hard! You never think about how hard it would be to go for so long without soda, but you do once you don't have it for a couple days.

Well, then don't think about it, then!

(Really, it works!)
What's Lent?

That's kinda hard to do, since I'm so used to having soda almost everyday, then I suddenly can't have it.

It's a Catholic thing that happens for 40 days before Easter.

Oh! I see. Well...I can't help you there. Pick up drinking tea, or get sick so you can have cola syrup.

I don't really like tea. *ducks to avoid wrath of TB*

Me neither! And I agree!
(Yes, I noticed she had 5000 posts. Congratulations Lotesse!)

Farimir Captain of Gondor · 03-09-2006, 12:52 AM

5,000

*think about how long it would take me to get that many*

I've got to start coming here more often. Like 5 times a day instead of only 4.
