To quote the title of one of Micheal Martinez's Articles from a while back: Ooh, Arwen! Oh Yeah!

PALANTIR CALLING INOLDONIL... YOU BETTER GET YOUR NOSE OUT OF THE LIBRARY IN RIVENDELL AND READ THE POST BY STARR POLISH
BTW is that polish as in shoe shine or Polish as in Krakow?

LOL, Wayfarer, I wonder what ol' Mike's comments would have been had Arwen bummed from Aragorn and sparked up a pipeful of Old Toby...
"Ooh, Arwen! Oh Yeah!...wait....no, don't do that...no, it can't be....not you, too....! Arwen, Noooooo! Bad Arwen! Bad, Bad Arwen! There oughtta be a law! DROWN in the flood! DROOOOOOOOWWWNNNNN!!!!! Tool of the tobacco companies! Halfling Leaf Harlot! Cigarette Strumpet! Tobacco Trollop!"

SIlmarien...
That sounds REALLY familiar. Who was she?

I guess technically, she is in LOTR.

Silmarien was was the daughter and oldest child of one of the early Numenorian Kings (not sure which). She was passed over for Queen (even though Tar-Ancalime had become a queen earlier, and it had been established that the eldest child, male or female, would take the crown), but her childeren were the begining of the line of Isuldur. I actually don't know much about her, just what it says in the appendix, but I think she's in the Silmarillion. (I haven't read it, but I would assume...)

What I meant was, the question was what LOTR character would be your mate. Silmaren is not in the story of the LOTR. BUT she is in the book per se. Albeit in the appendix. So, I was just saying that you could choose her on a technicality.

But they were picking charaters that were in lotr! *whines*
When I made that last post, I was responding to Wayfarer. Actually, I don't know why I picked Silmarien, I was just kinda looking for a name that most other people wouldn't pick, it doesn't have to be her. Second choice would be Eowyn, any girl that would fight the witch king is good enough for me. |

Faramir for me...he seems to be a bit more down to Earth than most of the other men...I don't think anyone else would have me!
On the other hand, if Legolas really looks like Orlando Bloom with long blond hair... |

A hearty "Welcome to the Moot" to you both, Menelvagor and Mrs Legolas!
I agree that any lady who can stick it to the Witch King of Angmar and live is a girl after me own heart...especially if she looks like the actress who plays her in Peter Jackson's The Two Towers, from what I can tell from the back of the paperback... And can someone take a look at the paperback and let me know, if you are familiar with the actor, is the guy who looks like he is going to be playing Theoden the fellow who plays "Father Jack" on "Father Ted"? Sure looks like him...

Bropous are you talking about the guy in the last picture on the back of "The Two Towers"?

Hmmm....if memory serves me correctly, Kamyel, from left-to-right, the photos are of:
1. A fellow in a helm with a prominent noseguard, whom I take to be Eomer; 2. A fellow with dark armor, greying hair and short, greying beard, whom I take to be Theoden; and 3. A beautiful, grave blond woman whom I take to be Eowyn. I'm hoping my memory is serving correctly from looking at the "film series" printing of the LotR paperbacks and quality paperbacks at the bookstore.

I think I'll go for Frodo (him looking like Elijah Wood might have something to do with that I admit) And I'm kind of short so little problem there.
