how many fingers does frodo have?

[SoCalBillsFan]

well i know he loses one with the ring when it goes into the fire. But i don't know how many he started with. I think 9 is too obvious an aswer.

So i'm gonna go with seven. I'm hoping hobbits only have 8 fingers. Am I right or wrong?

[Cntrygal]

log:sukrpnch:cntry

Didn't you read the instructions??? You have to answer my question to ask one. LOL

BTW... you're wrong SoCal ;) You were right with the first answer. "9". :)

Do you have a question you want to ask?

[Gunzlingr]

I assume you mean the Umanyar, the foresaken elves

[SoCalBillsFan]

[ArcticWildMan]

I was the one who told you about the trailer, Cntry.

[ArcticWildMan]

Somebody ask a question......

[ArcticWildMan]

I know the answer, but I'm going to leave the question open so somebody else will join in.

[Gunzlingr]

Do you think they will? :wink: It seems that your knowledge on the subject is limitless, that or you have a very good source of info.

[ArcticWildMan]

I've read the books probably over 50 times.

[Mad Bomber]

Like you Arctic, I've read the books more than any sane person should have...

A sign of doom anyway.

[Mad Bomber]

[Mad Bomber]

Since nobody wants to answer this, I'll do it...

The Younger Children of Iluvitar were called "Men" (that's men AND women).


Let's get down to basics....


Who was the proprietor of the Prancing Pony?

[Cntrygal]

LOL Mad... I seen where Iluvitar was called the "Father of All" - but I guess I was too tired to put it together.

Basics for awhile might inspire some new people to join in and give me a chance to reread the books!! :D

[ArcticWildMan]

LOL!! I'm pretty much out, Mad. Hopefully I'll be stocking the freezer with a nice tender yearling in a few weeks...Talk to me if/when I get one. :hungry:

[ArcticWildMan]

Morgoth raised them.


Who/what destroyed them?

[Mad Bomber]

Damn, this is hard...

Was it the Noldor?

AWM,
I GOTTA try your moose meat. I love venison; moose has to be even better!

[ArcticWildMan]

BUZZZZ!!! Wrong answer!!


Moose can be very, very good or unbelievably nasty. Depends if they are rutting or not.

[Gunzlingr]

Eonwe?

[ArcticWildMan]

Buzzzz!!! Strike two!!!

[Mad Bomber]

I got it!!! :clap: :hamrhed:

This has to be right - I can't strike out...I've been married for 24 years:hump:

[ArcticWildMan]

Hint: He was called the Mariner....

[Mad Bomber]

Originally posted by ArcticWildMan

BUZZ! Wrong answer...

They called themselves the "Uendilnili" - Literally, the "devotees of Uendil".

But actually this has nothing to do with Lord of the Rings. This is all Second Age stuff from the Silmarillion..


Since the DVD of Fellowship of the Ring is coming out tomorrow (I'm picking it up at around 5am your time Arctic), let's try to get back to the LOTR....

What was the name of the westernmost border of the Shire?

[Mad Bomber]

Originally posted by honey

HONEY!!!!!!!!!!

It is SO great to see you posting here!

I spent my weekend tracking you down...we played e-mail, PM tag...


The 3rd evil that afflicted Gondor was.....

flatulence.

The evils that afflicted Gondor were:

1. Halitosis
2. Impotence
3. Flatulence

The people of Gondor were NOT very attractive...

[honey]

MAD!!!! Nice to see you! I don't think it was flatulence, LOLOLOL!

The westernmost border of the Shire was Westmarch wasn't it?

Hey, I'm going to see Cntry at Sturgis this week, isn't that cool?

Speaking of that, I should try to track her down to tell her how she can recognize me at the bar.

[Mad Bomber]

Let me guess..

You're the redhead in the pink shirt???

[honey]

Nope, but I AM the redhead in the blue Flutie jersey (uhoh, I think I said a naaaasty word.....LOL)

[honey]

Oh, never mind, you're right. I forgot I put that picture there. What a spacer!

[Mad Bomber]

Originally posted by honey

You play the flutie???

I used to play the oboeie...

[honey]

Haha, I would kinda LIKE to play the flutie, but I have one of my own, if you know what I mean. I think I liked Flutie because he reminded me of a young Frank (my hubby), short, dark hair, brown eyes, muscular, etc.....Did you get that I'm going to Sturgis this week? Tomorrow actually. Cntry is going to meet us at a bar there. Purty cool!

[Mad Bomber]

Your husband is a midget? Cool! So is my wife!

Also, my first name is Frank. That's probably why I've always been called by my middle name :confused:

What's a Sturgis? Isn't it that big fish that yields caviar? No wait...that's a sturgeon.

Anyway, wherever Sturgis is, it sounds cool, if you're gonna see Cntrygal. Personally, I'd like to meet you both face-to-face....

[honey]

Come on out, then, Mad!! We'd (well, I can't speak for Cntry, but...) like to meet you, too. Sturgis, BTW, is THE motorcycle rally get-together. My husband's daughter is getting married there Thursday, so that's why we're going.

Yes, My husband is a midget, but I'm smaller than he is, so that's ok. Both the boys will probably be shorties, too. My 14 year old is almost as tall as I am right now, tho, so who knows???

[Mad Bomber]

WHERE is Sturgis?

I live on the far right coast (near NYC).

BTW, that would be a great place to have a wedding!

[honey]

Sturgis is in South Dakota at the base of the mountains kinda in the northwest part. A little bitty town with lots going on this week!

She's wearing bone-colored LEATHER with FRINGE!

[Cntrygal]

LOL.... how do the two of you keep getting off track?!? LOL... but since you did... how short is short honey? Am I going to feel like a giant? Mad - you are more than welcome to come on out. We are going to be at the "Broken Spoke". Just follow all the harley's west on I90. Some of the outfits get pretty wild during the rally. I told honey that she would be able to recognize me by the fact that I am wearing CLOTHES. :D Honey - I usually get off work around 4ish... but call me whenever you get in (or close).

(I think it's Honey's turn with a question btw ;) )

[honey]

What did Hirgon bring to Theoden from Denethor?

[Cntrygal]

The Red Arrow.....

What did it signify?

[honey]

It was a summons to war.

How did Denethor know Boromir was dead even before Gandalf told him?

[Cntrygal]

He received the horn that Boromir always wore..

what was the horn made of?

[honey]

It was a wild-ox horn, bound with silver.

How many stone walls did the Guarded City have?

[StillLurkin]

ok people, excuse my interruption, but how in the HELL do you guys know so friggan much about Lord Of The Rings??? Not that ya'll are nerds or anything, but i checked out this thread and was like :eek:

i saw the movie in the theater, but i really didn't follow it too well until i bought the movie. the special effects are amazing!!

[lordofgun]

TIME OUT!

[Cntrygal]

log:sukrpnch:cntry

StillLurkin...... I cheat.... I look alot of the stuff up in the books. That's what we are mainly asking the questions out of. I'm on my 2nd reading of the books, but Mad and Arctic have read them a ton of times. Honey either has a fantastic memory or has read them a ton of times too. (last I knew Honey couldn't even find her copies of the books) Feel free to join us!!!!! :)

Honey... I know I have seen the answer to your question.. but need to look it up. But I'll tack a WAG at it and say "6".

[honey]

Cntry - better look it up. Six is not right. Or as Arctic would say - BUZZZZZZ! LOL

[honey]

StillLurkin - I've read the books a lot (probably 10 times at least), but I cheat, too. I finally found my books hiding in a box, cntry. I swore my husband hid them on me, but as it turns out, I actually hid them on myself. :smile:

[StillLurkin]

oh, they made a book out of the movie? :biggrin:

[Gunzlingr]

7

[honey]

Right, gunzlingr. Do you have a question for us?

[Mad Bomber]

Hey Gunzlingr...

Just watched Pale Rider twice in the past two nights.

Gotta love Clint!!!!!

[Cntrygal]

Originally posted by StillLurkin

:biggrin:

they sure did get the books published fast (and managed to back date them)!!!!

[ArcticWildMan]

Here's a different question...

Where does the movie deviate from the book first?

[Mad Bomber]

The very first scene... the battle where Sauron's ring was cut from him happened at the base of Mt. Doom in Mordor. In fact, the battle happened outside Mordor (hence the Dead Marshes).

[Gunzlingr]

My question:

In the book, Glorfindel helps save Frodo at the ford, and sends him to Rivendell, who does it in the movie?

[Cntrygal]

:confused:
I don't know....

[Mad Bomber]

Originally posted by gunzlingr
My question:

Arwen.

In the movie, Gandalf talks to a moth to summon the Eagle to rescue him from the top of Orthanc.

Two questions:

1) Who was the Eagle?

2) How was he summoned to Orthanc in the book?

[honey]

The eagle's name was Gwaihir.

He was summoned to Orthanc by Radagast, sort of. I think Radagast had the eagles look all around the countryside, not necessarily for Gandalf, but for signs of war. And Gwaihir found Gandalf and took him off Orthanc.

Since I haven't seen the movie yet (soon, very soon), I'll have to ask a question from the books. What was the gift the Lady of Rivendell sent to Aragorn before he went on the Paths of the Dead?

[Cntrygal]

a staff.... :D

[honey]

Cntry - I think he already had a staff!! :biggrin:

[Gunzlingr]

Hey honey, going to the Bills/Vikes game?

Did she give him a key??

[Patrick76777]

Originally posted by gunzlingr

Actually Fredo was in cahoots with Hymen Roth. He helped set up the hit on his brother, Michael. Or ummmm sorry.

[Gunzlingr]

Get outta here ya bum! :D

[Cntrygal]

Originally posted by honey
Cntry - I think he already had a staff!! :biggrin:

:lol:
Although.... A "kinsman" of Aragorn brought him one.....

Book 3.
'For he saw that instead of a spear he bore a tall staff, as it were a standard, but it was close-furled in a black cloth bound about with many thongs.'



I haven't had time to find where they describe what this actually is... but is this what you are looking for? :D

[honey]

Gunzlingr - not sure yet about the Vikes/Bills game. I'd love to go, but if we have hay down in the field and it's a nice day, I have to get it baled. We're way behind this year because of all the rain we've had and not a whole lot of hot, dry weather. However, if we get all the hay up in the next week or two, I'm definitely gonna try to get tickets!

Cntry - Look on the last page of chapter 2, Book 3. Now - THAT'S a hint!!!

[Gunzlingr]

Did she give him Anduril?

[Mad Bomber]

Hi! I'm back!

Before Aragorn took off thru the Paths of the Dead, Elrohir gave him a silver horn.

What did he call the dead guys?

[honey]

Oh, Mad, that's not what I'm looking for, either. I guess I'll just have to tell you - Halbarad gave him a great standard - all black.

Aragorn called the dead guys "Oathbreakers".

What was Mindolluin?

And, btw, nice to see you again, Mad! :biggrin:

[Mad Bomber]

Thanks honey,

Mindolluin was the eastern peak of the Ered Nimrais (White Mountains). Minas Tirith was built under it. Good question!!!

BTW, I bought the LOR DVD; my 13-year old son has wached it ever dy and is now about halfway thru reading the Fellowship of the Ring. Must be genetic...

My question....

What was the cause of death of the Lord of the Ringwraiths?

[honey]

Ok, I'm gonna guess on this one. Was it when Merry pierced him after he struck Dernhelm/Eowyn down? No question yet as I don't know if I'm right.

[honey]

Oh, hey, Mad - I FINALLY got my hands on the movie, but haven't watched it yet. Frank's home and isn't really in to LOTR so doesn't want to tie up three hours of TV at night. Also, my little one is staying with his half-sister in the cities until tomorrow and both the kids (14 year old and 9 year old) want to watch it with me. I almost can't wait, tho, I may have to watch it tomorrow morning by myself! My oldest wants to know (this is his question) which two characters had fingers missing with regard to THE RING?

[Mad Bomber]

Ding! Ding! Ding! You're right!

The key part of Merry's being able to kill him was the sword he used.

Why was the sword so significant? Who forged it?

[honey]

The men of the Westernesse or the Duinedain, made it.

What was another name for Dwimorberg?

(I can't believe I got that last ??? right! That was just calling on my memory!)

[honey]

Hey, Mad - I see you're still here. What are ya - cheating? :lol: So do I! BTW, did you ask Cntry about our meeting in Sturgis? It was purty cool!

[Mad Bomber]

The Haunted Mountain. It's where the Gate of the Dead was found.

What was the name of the wall built across Helm's Gate that guarded the entrance to Helm's Deep?

[honey]

Oh, God, Mad. What a question. Hang on, I gotta look.....

[Mad Bomber]

Check The Two Towers....

[Cntrygal]

Where's our pics honey???

Mad that was my clue! lol Thanks honey.. :D

[Cntrygal]

oops disregard honey :D check your pm

[honey]

Ok, it was the Hornburg (hey, I should have known that - my folks have a "lake/pond" named the Hornburger on their land).

Did you see my kid's question?

[Mad Bomber]

Close but no cigar...

Hornburg was a castle. What was the name of the wall?

BTW, what was your kid's question?

[honey]

Which two characters had a finger missing because of THE RING was my kid's question.

The answer to your question must be the Hornrock????? :big grin:

[Mad Bomber]

Your answer about the Hornburg was close; the wall laid beneath it, and was connected to the Hornburg by a flight of steps.

[honey]

Wasn't it the Hornrock? Am I wayyyyy off base here?

[Mad Bomber]

Actually, it was called the Deeping Wall.

[Mad Bomber]

Anybody there?

Cntry. Honey, Arctic, Gunzlingr?

Is there anybody out there (Pink Floyd)????

[Gunzlingr]

[honey]

Hey, gunz, you were at Sturgiis?

[Gunzlingr]

yeah, the last weekend

[honey]

We were there from Tuesday the 6th through Friday morning, the 9th. Purty cool!

[Mad Bomber]

I still need to see the pics!

[honey]

They're in the mail, Mad! Promise. BUT, I was going to scan them in and e-mail them, but Frank's computer crashed and I don't have the capability to scan them in on mine, so until I get reprints, I'm just going to send a couple - one of Cntry and me and one of just Cntry, ok?

[Cntrygal]

Originally posted by gunzlingr

We were the ones wearing real clothes. :D

[honey]

Do we have a question yet? I think it's Mad's turn. Somehow we got off topic (again :lol: ).

[Mad Bomber]

Gunzlingr:
I have two things to say to you...
1) Clint rules
2) You have the BEST sig pics!

My question:
(Too easy, but we gotta get this going again)

What was the original name of Minas Tirith, and what did it mean?

[Cntrygal]

Tower of Guard

Before it was renamed Minas Tirith, it was called Minas ____

[Mad Bomber]

Before it was Minas Tirith, it Was Minas Anor, which meant the "Tower of the Setting Sun"

Here's a tough one, but you can find it in the Fellowship of the Ring:

What was another name of the 'star lady', Varda Elantari? Her name was used in an Elven song, and used by Frodo when he was fighting the Nazgul?

Two words....

[Cntrygal]

umm I had a few guesses.. but you left the :shout:box

so how about.... Elbereth Gilthoniel?

BTW..."Hornburg" isn't an acceptable answer!!!!:D

[ArcticWildMan]

It was fought at/in Helm's Deep.


Who was largely responsible for the victory?

[Mad Bomber]

Love that chapter, especially Legolas & Gimli's friendly competition about who could kill more orcs.

Ultimate victory came from the Huorns, who ate up the escaping orcs. That was at the very end of the battle though. Is that what you were referring to?

[ArcticWildMan]

Yup.

[honey]

Imrahil, prince of Dol Amroth, realized she wasn't dead.

Why didn't Eowyn go to Cormallen when her brother, Eomer, asked her to?

[ArcticWildMan]

Damn!!! I really dislike Eowyn! I can't answer a single question about her :mad:



Eowyn :chair: AWM

[honey]

But, Arctic, she was BEAuuuuutiful!

Her first love was Aragorn.

She wound up marrying Faramir (you know what they say about second choice....).

I was just kidding anyway! Takes a lot to get me riled up - it's just not worth the hassle!

I think it's because she desired the love of Aragorn. But didn't want pity either. Then she ended up marrying Faramir.

[ArcticWildMan]

Is that correct Honey?

[ArcticWildMan]

I have my head up my you-know-what when it comes to Eowyn. :D
