Happy Birthday Tolkien! (anyone else feel weird saying happy birthday to someone who's dead? Not that he doesn't deserve it - I can't think of anyone who deserves it more!

)

Gwaimir Windgem · 01-03-2003, 09:14 AM

Many happy returns Professor!

...I suppose there's no point in saying "And many more" is there?

I posted this in general messages so I'll just copy it to here as my thread got shut

Well? Do you like my song? I like it!!

Its very original Blackboar!

I am no good at writing songs. Even based on another song. How l;ong did it take you?

I can relate. Oh well. I guess I'll celebrate by.. reading Tokkien! Oh. I'd do that anyway

I'll think of something though

Oh, and to praphrase something from the movie(the book too probably. I know it's Sacrelige, but I can't remember if it's from the book or the movie!)

TODAY IS HIS ONE HUNDRED AND ELVENTH(eleventy first) BIRTHDAY

About a couple of minutes, I just thought of the tune and wrote anything that fitted it I guess.

Hanza · 01-03-2003, 02:29 PM

Do you know how stupid that makes me feel Blackboar?

Blackboar · 01-03-2003, 02:31 PM

Sorry

I just like writing poems!! I practise all the time so you would be good it you did!! Practise a little

My sisters and I celebrated JRRT's birthday by making truffle-cake (again - I did that for Bilbo and Frodo's birthday too) and singing Happy Birthday. And I wrote a poem. But I'm not going to tell you.

I went on a long quest yesterday to find a Frodoll, and I did find it, in the least likely place. SuperTarget! I squealed quite loudly in the middle of the store.

Diaxion · 01-04-2003, 07:46 PM

What a year of coincidences considering that 2003 is the year of the last movie and BilBo was 111 when he was last in the shire. Odd isn't it.

Nilore · 01-06-2003, 01:44 PM

I read about it in the news paper.

Nilore · 01-06-2003, 01:46 PM

It was nice of them to give thought to him. And note that it was his " Eleventy First". I think that was kind and he probably would have appreiciated it.
