Oiotári Tol Eressea Sep 22 2012, 6:01pm Views: 1712 I would echo weaver's thank you... I think but you did say there was no need to thank you ..The land of long-forgotten name: ......no man may ever anchor near; ..No steering star his hope may aim, ......for nether Night its marches drear, ..And waters wide no sail may tame, ......with shores encircled dark and sheer. ..O! Haven where my heart would be! ......the waves beat upon thy bar ..For ever echo endlessly, ......when longing leads thy thought afar

Ataahua Forum Admin / Moderator Sep 22 2012, 9:35pm Views: 1747 Where's a bazooka and an Aelric pie when you need one? Trust you, Ufthak. Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..." Dwarves: "Pretty rings..." Men: "Pretty rings..." Sauron: "Mine's better." "Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauron’s master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded b*****d with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak.

Magpie Immortal Sep 22 2012, 9:41pm Views: 1717 what's an Aelric pie? not even google seems to know. LOTR soundtrack website ~ magpie avatar gallery TORn History Mathom-house ~ Torn Image Posting Guide

wendy woo Rivendell Sep 22 2012, 9:49pm Views: 1701 I love it!! "It's a queer country out here", Pa said. "Strange things happen." "Yes", said Ma. "I'm thankful that so far they don't happen to us."

Ufthak Rivendell Sep 22 2012, 10:13pm Views: 1750 This is what's wrong with TORn these days All the newbies :p "Who the hell are you?" he growled. "I the hell am Harry," I said.

Magpie Immortal Sep 22 2012, 10:17pm Views: 1732 haha... okay. I think I get the gist now, anyhow. But keep in mind, I rarely get jokes at all. Let alone jokes I have to be 'in' on. I guess my version of an 'Aelric pie' would be 'come over here so I can slap you'...which is what I say to people who are teasing me. :-p Now, I would know what an eelpout pie was.

Silverlode Forum Admin / Moderator Sep 22 2012, 11:06pm Views: 1767 A story of the First Age. In the Elder Days when Middle-earth was only books and rumors of moving pictures had not yet been heard by any save a few brave adventurers to the land of the Net, strange and wonderful beings inhabited the boards of TORN. One of these was Bullroarer the EVIL Overlord, he of the spiky boots and Julie Andrews obsession. He was ably assisted in administering his reign of humor terror by several underlings only slightly less mythic than himself. One of the greatest of these was Aelric, Steward of TORN, keeper of the Good Morning threads, he of the Highest Post Count and chief flinger of the Pies of EVIL. Any post incurring the groans of the EO would be dealt with by a swift pie thrown with deadly accuracy. Each pie was unique and horrible. Legend whispers of such ingredients as moldy avocado, bird beaks and dirty engine oil, all combined with ingenuity and imagination to create the maximum "EWWW!" reponse from its victim. And so was order maintained for many a day in the Land of TORN. Silverlode Don't have a Hobbit Day footer? Want one? Click here! (This post was edited by Silverlode on Sep 22 2012, 11:07pm)

Ufthak Rivendell Sep 22 2012, 11:08pm Views: 1702 Well, FYI Aelric is/was an old-time poster - he even predates *me*, which tells you something! He was known as the 'pie-man' for reasons I genuinely cannot recall other than his tendency to 'throw' 'pies' at people. I'm sure one of the other First Agers can tell you more. "Who the hell are you?" he growled. "I the hell am Harry," I said. He pulled out his own gym bag and slammed the car door closed. "You always a wiseass?"

Oiotári Tol Eressea Sep 22 2012, 11:10pm Views: 1705 I love a good TORn history lesson thanks Silverlode (and Magpie for asking) ..The land of long-forgotten name: ......no man may ever anchor near; ..No steering star his hope may aim, ......for nether Night its marches drear, ..And waters wide no sail may tame, ......with shores encircled dark and sheer. ..O!

Ethel Duath Half-elven Sep 23 2012, 12:26am Views: 1714 Love it! You should get out and write more . . . Can we revive this tradition? Are we fit to be pied?

Escapist Gondor Sep 23 2012, 1:15am Views: 1683 Is it bad if this reminds me of stories I heard about cast walking about in costume / with swords to help stay in character?

Annael Immortal Sep 23 2012, 1:25am Views: 1723 ah, the Evil Overlord a/k/a the Oval Evillord, the Evil Ovallord, etc. But he didn't have things all his own way; many there were fighting for good, led by our resident Shirrif, Robin Smallburrow.

Silverlode Forum Admin / Moderator Sep 23 2012, 4:55am Views: 1737 Yes indeed. I didn't have time to go into the forces of Chaotic Good which arrayed themselves against the EVIL hordes. Or, for that matter, to explain about bazookas, bagels, pop tarts, or cans of whale blubber. Or EVIL Quizzes. It was an EVIL Quiz which made me decide to read the Silmarillion, as I recall. I wish I had the time to put together and run an old-style quiz series. That would be fun. Silverlode Don't have a Hobbit Day footer? Want one? Click here!

Ufthak Rivendell Sep 23 2012, 6:36pm Views: 1681 *readies patented Middle-Earth-River-Bombarding Bazooka* Go ahead, punk. Make my quiz. "Who the hell are you?" he growled.

Silverlode Forum Admin / Moderator Sep 23 2012, 11:03pm Views: 1660 What sort of ammunition does one use in a Middle-Earth-River-Bombarding Bazooka? I know I will undoubtedly regret asking, but.... Silverlode Don't have a Hobbit Day footer? Want one? Click here!

Ufthak Rivendell Sep 23 2012, 11:10pm Views: 1677 well, you know that dry silicate stuff they put in with electronic equipment and, uh, sometimes shoes or clothes? The stuff that sucks the water up to keep everything else dry? That. "Who the hell are you?" he growled. "I the hell am Harry," I said. He pulled out his own gym bag and slammed the car door closed.
