Who are these Frodos I hear so much about? I'd integrate them into my parts, except I don't know who/what they are.

[the monopoly mayhem ensues]
Nibs: YOU CANNOT PASS!!!! ...without paying me rent first, that is.
Tessaract: Do you have to say that every time we land on one of your spaces?
Nibs: Until I pull all the cash I can from your quivering corpses, I will.
[canned cheese is sprayed every where by Celebwen; Nibs gets cheese shot into his eyes]
Aw, my freakin' heck! Who's the delinquent? This stuff must have 500% of one's daily sodium intake!! Oh, how it burns!!!
[he collapses, spasms, then lays still]
Wayfarer: Dibs on his property.
Bropous: Well, I think we should roll for it.
Tessaract: Yeah... fair's fair.
[Nibs stands up quickly]
Nibs: I hate it when that happens... oh, and I'd like to keep my property, thank you.
[he turns his head]
Ooo! Lembas! [in awe] So that's what it looks like...
[takes a bite; looks at it, amazed]
So that's what it tastes like...
[puts it under his nose and inhales deeply; is amazed once again]
So that's what it smells like...
[frenetically rubs it all over his face]
So that's what it feels like...
[Wayfarer, Bropous and Tessaract are looking at each other, then at Nibs]
Bropous: It's your turn, weirdo.
Nibs: Ah! Thank you.
[he rolls]
Ah, an eleven... that's my property, and- HEY! Who just landed on my Minas Tirith? Somebody owes me bookoo bucks... that's my most expensive property.
Bropous: I beg to differ, but we agreed that if you don't notice within their turn, the other person doesn't have to pay. Wayfarer rolled while you were cavorting in the lembas, so he needn't pay.
Nibs: [seriously] Yes, but there is also a rule that states that any players with the diphthong "ay" in their name do not abide by that rule, but instead have to pay an allotment of five percent for each turn to the owner of the property.
[none of them buy it]
Okay! So I've never been a good liar! Carry on with the game.
[Bropous rolls]
Bropous: Ah, the quaint Shire... how much is that, Tessaract?
Tessaract: ...twenty silver pieces...
Bropous: And weren't you going to put hotels there just this turn?
Tessaract: [bitterly] ...yes...
Broupous: And how much would it have cost me then?
Tessaract: Fifteen hundred...
Bropous: Oh, tough luck... here's your twenty, though.
[a brawl nearly erupts next to the game]
Wayfarer: [in a brooklyn accent] Hey! Can't you sees weah playin' a game heah?!
Nibs: Hey! There isn't going to be a brawl without... [short pause] Bropous getting involved!
[he picks up and heaves Bropous between them]
Bropous: Hey! [he notices his position, and takes a quick glance at both sides] Uh, okay... let there be no quarrells among us... and... let the light of Aman shine throughout the remainder of this party...
[everyone falls silent; a long pause follows]
Uh... rock on?
[everyone erupts in applause and laughter; the remainder of the party is peaceful... mostly; the monopoliers return to the game]
Nibs: I knew you could handle that...
Bropous: Compliments won't get you out of that twelve hundred you owe me right there.
Nibs: Drat! I thought you wouldn't notice.
Bropous: Whatever. Pay up.

If you don't know who the Frodos are you've never read the epic thread "What would you do? heh heh heh. . ."

It's a long story - a bunch people parodied LOTR beginning with kidnapping Elijah and convincing him he's actually Frodo (FrodoFriend and I did that ) and at the council run by Hugo Weaving that played Elrond, we made a Fellowship of the Messageboard. Wayfarer was Gandalf, Aldesign = Aragorn, Churl = Gimli, Tesseract = Legolas, Jerseydevil = Boromir (a group of elves turned him from evil to good), FrodoFriend/Me/Sam were the other hobbits, bropous was Brollum (or Gollum), and we basically went to destroy the Ring of Popculture controlled by Martha Stewart. At the end, before Elijah could put the Ring into the Microwave of Doom, Brollum bit off his finger in three pieces and they morphed into 3 hobbit Frodos: Frodo #1 (FrodoFriend's), Frodo #2 (Sam's), and Frodo #3 (mine) - that way we'd leave Elijah alone. Get it now?

I guess you had to be there... I'll just leave that little bit out of my installments to avoid my own confusion.

And how do you think my excerpts are? I laugh out loud at them every time... Middle-Earth Monopoly would be awesome.

I'll end the game soon... move on to more situations among the party-goers... this could turn out really funny.

Cute? That's hardly the word I'd choose, but a particularly good compliment nonetheless... updates soon.

FF'S REVENGE!!!

Note: If anyone dares to touch MY Frodo (#1) her/his life is forfeit.

----------------------------------------------------------
FrodoFriend sits on the floor in the corner, taking Oreos apart, eating the creme, and making a Roman mosaic out of the cookies.

FF: *muttering to herself* Preciousss . . . they all think I'm high on lembas, do they? Caressing dice, my foot! *hiccups* Well, well, I'll show them . . . for I have a MASTERFUL PLAN!
*dramatic music*

FF, giggling, crawls off to find the two Frodos, who are hiding in the laundry basket.

FF: Hey, Frodo!
Frodos: *in unison* What?
FF: You have to help me . . . I have a MASTERFUL PLAN!!
Frodos: *still in unison* Okay!
FF: Could you please stop that? It's disturbing.
Frodo#1: Sorry, dearest heart! Your wish is my command!
Frodo#2: Where's Sam? *looks sad and lonely*

Frodo#3 comes crawling over to join them.

Frodo#3: I can't find Rogue! *looks sad and lonely*
FF: Um . . . Rogue has some . . . other interests.
Frodo#3: *bursts into tears*
FF: There, there. She'll see reason soon. Now, about my MASTERFUL PLAN. . .

FF and the three Frodos huddle into a dark corner and begin whispering to each other and giggling. Wayfarer, briefly leaving the Monopoly game, comes over to investigate.

WY: *suspiciously* What are you doing?
FF: Oh, nothing . . . *whistles innocently*
WY: *gasps* You're coming up with a MASTERFUL PLAN!!!
*Everyone gasps and a sudden silence falls*
Hugo: Oh, goody! I love masterful plans!

Unbeknownst to everyone, Frodo#1 has slipped off on a secret errand.

WY: But this isn't just a masteful plan, is it? This is *the* MASTERFUL PLAN.
*Everyone gasps again.*
Nibs: No! Don't you dare disrupt my Monopoly game! I just got a Palantir!
*Bropous surreptitiously steals Nibs' Palantir*
Nibs: Hey! I saw that!
*Bropous squeals and hides behind couch*

Suddenly, a flying, spitting, shrieking, howling, punching, hair-yanking whirlwind rolls into the room.

Churl: It's the chick fight!
Tesseract: AI! AI! A chick fight! A chick fight is come!

Chaos ensues as Galadriel, galadriel88, and the Nazgul Queen roll around the room fighting and disrupting everything. Rogue Elf runs into the room screaming about the mess.

RE: *shrieking* I'm going to strangle you all!! YOU LITTLE RATS!! I'm going to STRANGLE YOU!!

Amid the chaos, FF and the two remaining Frodos slyly slip into the shadows. RE hurls herself at Wayfarer, spraying Cheez Whiz in uncomfortable places. The whirling chickfight rolls over Nibs, Bropous, Tesseract, Churl, Celebwen, Laurelyn, Evenstar, Sam, Nariel and the Monopoly game.

Churl: It's Dwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaarvish ale in self-defense! *fends chick fight off by spraying ale at it*
Tesseract: AI! Just because AI! *beats everyone nearby with giant rubber band*
WY: *between blows of his staff hitting random people * I - did - not - have - relations - with - that - Balrog! - OOF!

JD: SILENCE!!

Sudden silence falls. JD stands in the middle of the room, looking pale, serious, and grave.

JD: Something terrible has occurred . . . FrodoFriend and the Frodos have carried out their MASTERFUL PLAN!
*Everyone gasps*
WY: NOOOOOOO!!
JD: Yes! The fateful day has come . . . They have stolen our bathing suits!! We cannot swim!!

From far off, FF's giggling is heard.

Churl: No! We must resist! We must recover our bathing suits! *leaps up, waving ax around. Accidentally whaps Bropous*
Bropous: Ouchssss!!
Churl: Er . . . sorry . . . we must recover our bathing suits!!

----------------------------------------------------
Can the party members find their bathing suits and finally go swimming? Is FF really evil, or just insane? What about the Monopoly game?
----------------------------------------------------
Hugo: Hee hee hee! *giggles* This is so amusing! *rolls eyes with laughter and twitches*

*squeals* Cheez WHIZ?! CHEEZ WHIZ?!

------------------------------------------------------------

(Everyone shrieks and buddles up in the living room as the lights are cut out. Laughter can be heard from the basement below.)

Jerseydevil: [sighing] Not AGAIN...and I thought we escaped that mall...
Rogue Elf: FRODO #3! Where are you?! He had something to do with this, I know it. Damn you, FrodoFriend!
Jerseydevil: Huh? Shouldn't you be--
Rogue Elf: [stomps JD's foot]
Jerseydevil: [squeaks] Okay, gotcha...
Nibs: I have no idea what's going on!
bropous: Good for you.
Sam: We need light!
Wayfarer: That can be arranged... [lights the stone on the tip of his staff] I knew this thing would come in handy!
Tesseract: AI! AI! I knew it! Show me the money, Churl!
Churl: [muttering] Oh, fine... [gives Tesseract a twenty dollar bill]
Tesseract: Heh heh heh...
Laurelyn: Ooh! Ooh! Is this gonna be like it was in "WWYD"? I always wanted to be a part of that!
bropous: Oh, the terror...no reminders, please.
Celebwen: Ah! I'm out of CHEEZ WHIZ!!! [faints, falls on top of the passed out Orlando Bloom]
Evenstar: [winces, backs away] Uh, can we just go find our bathing suits?
Nariel: Yes! We need our bathing suits!
Rogue Elf: CHARGE!!! [runs ahead of the light, trips over Celebwen and Orlando]
Jerseydevil: Uh...are you okay?
Rogue Elf: [hops up] Yeah, I'm fine. Now, starting with Wayfarer: CHARGE!!!
Churl: FrodoFriend is gonna pay for this! I LOST TWENTY DOLLARS!
Tesseract: AI! AI! Charge!
bropous: Hey, wait a minute...where's Feraway?

*Ominous music...*

Rogue Elf: Oh, she went upstairs.
Jerseydevil: For what?
Rogue Elf: [shrugs] Beats me.
Laurelyn: Maybe they...KIDNAPPED HER!

*More ominous music...*

Everyone: [GASPS!]
Rogue Elf: Nah, I doubt it.
Wayfarer: Are we going to recover our bathing suits, or what?
Rogue Elf: Oh. Oh yeah - CHARGE!!!

(Everybody huddles together and sets off through the large house...)

Tesseract: AI! AI! Large house?! We'll never find them!
Evenstar: Ah, quit it. You're scaring the lil' ones.
Tesseract: I am a lil' one!
Evenstar: [blinks] Oh, alright.

(More insane giggling...)

Wayfarer: It's coming from the bathroom!!
Rogue Elf: Well, open the door.
Wayfarer: No, you open it.
Rogue Elf: No, you open it.
Wayfarer: No, I insist.
Rogue Elf: No, I insist.
Jerseydevil: Dear Eru, I'll do it!

(Jerseydevil jerks open the door to find...)

Hey, they like throwing ice cream, FrodoFriend, and don't need to be asked twice And I believe we left off with Jerseydevil opening the bathroom door and finding something which is meant to be important to the story!
