I think Butterbeer wins this one.

Midge · 12-22-2008, 03:01 AM

Erm.. that's not how the game works. It's whoever gets the last correct element, not the most. The quote isn't even finished, is it?

"Suppose we have only dreamed and made up
these things like sun, sky, stars and moon,
and Aslan himself. In that case, it seems
to me that the made-up things are a good
deal better than the real ones. And if this
black/_i_s/of a kingdom is the best you can
make, then it's a poor world. And we four
can make a dream world to lick your real one hollow."

NONE OF THESE IDIOT WORDS FIT EXACTLY RIGHT!!! Katt, are you SURE you posted it in there correctly?

To me the BEST choices are "pits" or "digs"

... or maybe "miss". But both "pits" and "digs" are plural, while "this" (which precedes it) is singular. "Miss" just doesn't sound like Lewis OR Puddleglum to me, but what do I know? I'll guess "miss"... seeing as how I'm pretty sure that both Lewis and Puddleglum were smart enough to use proper grammar.

Arg. It's PITS because it is slang. EG: "This class is the PITS."
And that's the way it is in my copy anyway.

So go ahead Midge, since you've beaten this quote to death.

In my copy it's PIT.
Which shows that different editions can cause problems ...

klatukatt · 01-17-2009, 04:42 PM

Poop.

Sorry for snapping last post, Midge. It is your turn.

Midge · 02-12-2009, 11:48 PM

Quote postation deferred.

If I could ever learn to spell...

Midge · 02-15-2009, 02:42 PM

Okay, fine. Quote postation deferration rescinded.

Midge · 02-19-2009, 11:27 AM

"one" in the first line is wrong, so is "taking". "art" in the fifth line is wrong and "kick" (funny, though!). I think that's it.

"Her/_a_e_t_/is in the/_i_h_/. If we had/_n_/a_s_r_n_e/of/_a_i_g/
her by battle, our duty would be very plain.
It appears to me that we have none. And the/s_r_i_e/

"Her/Majesty/is in the/right/. If we had/any/a_s_r_n_e/of/_a_i_g/

Only now do I recognize this event! Is Reepicheep the speaker?

Yes. Reepicheep is the speaker. Varna, you got the last piece, so it's your turn.

I don't know. He never gets for /_n_u_h/. But there's more than that. One /_i_h_/-it was /_a_t/_i_h_/ in fact-/a_/ I was going /_a_t/ the food of the /_t_i_/-/s_a_r_/ on my way to her (and I don't much care for /_o_n_/p_a_/t_e_/e_t_e_/) I'm sure I heard a bell."

***Varnafindë*** · 04-02-2009, 09:36 PM

A lot of it is right! Here it is with corrections:

Good to see someone at the Narnia Quote Game again!

Pip · 04-04-2009, 08:38 PM

One night -it was last night in fact-as I was going...

Trying to chip away at it a bit at a time.

***Varnafindë*** · 04-05-2009, 07:51 AM

All correct so far!
Yes, one bit at a time is a good way of working on it.
