The Important Questions
Hello all, I just thought I'd make a valid contribution to the board for a change, as lately I've just been making bad jokes. I thought I'd start by making a list of all the important Tolkien questions that haven't been asked before. Maybe it will start a good worth-while Middle-earth discussion, maybe not, we'll see.
1. What would Bernie from Weekend at Bernie's do if he got the One Ring? What sort of evil anthem would play in his head as he walked into the ocean with the mermaid chick? 2. Who is better, King Kong or Valandil (the Entmoot member, not the character)? And why do you think so? Keep in mind this is an intellectual discussion. 3. Who's more irritating, Orlando Bloom, or the fans he stole from the Backstreet Boys? 4. What's your favorite inanimate object from "Shadow of the Past"? Make sure you read eachother's posts and appreciate other people's opinions, that's what this discussion is all about. 5. If Tom Bombadil isn't Santa Claus, then who is? 6. We've all heard the Legolas's hair-color debates. What about his pants? What brand of Elvenware did he prefer? 7. Four Harfoots go to the barber. Three of the Harfoots have lice in their beards, and they want their beards combed. What are the odds [hint: percentage] other customers who came later will get the lice from the combs used? 8. Let's say you think what-if questions are worthwhile ... insert punchline here. 9. What if you were a resident of Middle-earth? 10. If a former bitter administrator posts a bunch of mostly inside-jokes on his favorite message board, and no one is there to get them, is it funny? Thanks for reading The Important Questions. You've been dooped.

My, my... YOU were on an odd kick yesterday! I've just made a bad joke or two myself, so I'm not inclined to just close this right out (although if any OTHER admin or mod would like... ).
Meanwhile, I'd love to hear the discussion for item #2...

Those questions are SO important, I'll think I'll just mosey on over to another thread.
Well, actually, I think the fans he stole from the Backstreet Boys are more iritating....

AH now theres a question. Harfoots or Harfeet. I have to go with Harfoots because its a name and not an object so you would just add an s to the end.

Fat Middle, actually, it's a trick question. Harfoots don't grow beards. So double doop on you.

Nolendil I think Fat Middle said 0% meaning they dont have beards. But if I am wrong Fat Middle please correct me.

If one prefers a higher level of discussion on Tolken, would the rational course of action would be to find or create site exculsively for those more erudite in the topic, rather than futilly pouring sarcasm and derision upon an open to all forum?

totally agree Nolendil. Thats the point; open forum right. If we want to make sarcastic comments then that is our perogative as long as it isnt spam. messing around is one of the fun things to do here at the moot

How 'bout this: if a former bitter administrator tells a current non-bitter normalMooter that he will check out a quote she posted, and he DOESN'T, will the hair on his toes fall out?
Here's the link: here And I think Val is better, because he has 3 cute kids!

I feel horrible my wonderful thread has been reduced to a Harfoot/Harfeet debate. I "bah" at you all.

How can you say it. We are discussing a question that has been discussed since the beginning of Hobbit kind. It is probably the greatest unasnwered question of all Hobbitdom. Its an amazing question. SO what do tyou think?
