SAURON: Bwa ha ha! Um, where's my body?

CARCHAROTH: Grar.
BEREN: Ow!

ItalianLegolas · 01-08-2005, 05:44 PM

Pytt · 01-09-2005, 09:20 AM

Yeah; I've seen that on a norwegian forum. marvelous

ItalianLegolas · 01-09-2005, 11:30 AM

Minielin · 01-11-2005, 03:29 PM

Best parts:

Quote:

UNGOLIANT: Not enough shiny. Want more shiny!
MELKOR: You can't have 'em.
UNGOLIANT: Grar.
MELKOR: Eeek! *runs

Quote:

VALAR: Got your shinies!
MAGLOR AND MAEDHROS: You mean OUR shinies!
VALAR: Oh *!&(!&).
MAGLOR AND MAEDHROS: Ow! Burny shinies!
MAEDHROS: Fine. This sucks. *jumps into chasm*
MAGLOR: Um... not really looking forward to meeting Dad again... *chucks shiny into sea* Bye. *wanders off*
VALAR: Well... um... okay.

BeardofPants · 01-11-2005, 04:48 PM

Very, very silly.

Attalus, what on EARTH are you doing trolling for stuff like this?? Tolkien would spew.

brownjenkins · 01-11-2005, 05:49 PM

great stuff!

Wayfarer · 01-11-2005, 06:34 PM

Hmmm.

You know, I could have helped write that.

Er... not 'write' per-se since there was no writing involved, and I don't actually know that person, but in a hypthetical sort of sense. Myself and a few other people did something very similar a few years back - ran through an entire summary of the Silmarillion for some non-readers, complete with explanations of how everything was driven by an incessant desire for shinies.

Oooh! Shiny!

Have it around anywhere? I'd be curious to see if so. Want shiny.

Wayfarer · 01-11-2005, 06:44 PM

As I said, there was no writing involved. We did it as an impromptu stand-up act in the cafeteria one night when someone asked for a summary of the Silmarillion. Our version was a bit longer, but very similar.

Interesting to see that someone else had the same idea.

Ah, there I go skimming again... *blush*

Still, sounds fun.

***Rían*** · 01-13-2005, 01:23 PM

That is REALLY funny!

I agree - we need Turin in there, too! That story is just ripe for this type of thing!

Elemmírë · 01-13-2005, 02:39 PM

Wow.

That was hilarious...

If I keep reading things like that...
