"I'm a good carry bum!" and other Random Ro Thoughts
|
Can't Post
|
|
Hobbits smell of cozy fires, hay fields, and baking; Dwarves just smell…well, hairy and unwashed; Elves of course smell of strawberry bubble bath. But what does a wizard smell like?
Isn’t the “two-fingered salute” (index and middle fingers in a “V”) a rude gesture in some places? I seem to remember that one getting us into trouble on a bus in Edinburgh once…Bilbo does that gesture to Gandalf under pretence of tapping his pipe, after Gandalf’s line “And where else should I be?”
Old Bilbo tells Frodo he came home with only one chest of treasure – “and it still smells of troll.” So he doesn’t end up with any Dwarven treasure at all when he departs for home after the Bo5A? Interesting. Why not?
Thorin’s got his hand on the hilt of Orcrist when he enters Bag End. Just in case he finds foes not friends on the other side of the door? A good warrior is always prepared.
Who else thinks Thorin had been repeatedly ringing the doorbell while “Blunt the Knives” was going on, and was so teed off that no one had heard him that he resorted to that thundering knock?
Bifur’s line in Bag End has always sounded to me like “I’m a -- good carry bum!”
Smoke and sparks up the chimney trailing into a night sky: full of mystery and potential adventures. Smoke from a candle by morning light: the sparks have fizzled, the flame is out. The potential is extinguished.
What do Dwarves normally blow their noses on?
Giant Eagles have a wing-span of something like 30 feet. Eagles normally capture and eat prey that’s fairly large relative to their body size. So what in Middle-earth do Giant Eagles eat? Historically, I mean. Before the introduction of domestic livestock. They must have co-evolved with some giant prey.
The quickest way to kill a spider (short of squashing it, of course) is to get it wet. Couldn’t Radagast just dump a bucket of water on them? And, since the Wicked Witch of the West similarly melted when water was dumped on her, she must be part spider. Just a thought.
After the Company slides down the rock into the cave, escaping the orcs and wargs, who else wants to hear Thorin sneer at Gandalf: “What a wonderful smell you’ve discovered!”? Or maybe that’s a better line for the troll cave.
Balin must send letters in GIANT envelopes. The-sword-not-yet-named-Sting is a bit overkill as a letter opener for a normal-sized letter.
