Middle-earth Conspiracy Theories Can't Post

What were the Nazgul doing during all those years of secrecy before Sauron unleashed them to hunt down Baggins and the One Ring?

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 beggar with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak.

watching... [In reply to] Can't Post

 
watching endless reruns of "the wiggles."

don't ask. no idea. it must be a nazgul thing.


cheers --

aka. fili orc-enshield
+++++++++++++++++++
the scene, as i understand it, is exceptionally well-written. fili (in sort of a callback to the scene with the eagles), calls out "thorRIIIIIIN!!!" just as he sees the pale orc veer in for the kill. he picks up the severed arm of an orc which is lying on the ground, swings it up in desperation, effectively blocking the pale orc's blow. and thus, forever after, fili is known as "fili orc-enshield."

this earns him deep respect from his hard-to-please uncle. as well as a hug. kili wipes his boots on the pale orc's glory box. -- maciliel telpemairo

Oops! I didn't read the body of your post before posting mine [In reply to] Can't Post

I didn't mean to copy your idea of different Nazgul lessons, sorry. Blush I was thinking about the TV show, Community which takes place at Greendale where they offer such classes as The History of Ice Cream and Theoretical Physical Education. Love your bed slashing and flight academy Laugh

possible answers [In reply to] Can't Post

Playing Monopoly(none of them wanted to admit defeat so the game went on for YEARS). And when that game was over, they played several games of Scrabble. Then they got into arguments about whether Orc words could be legitimately played.

Doing in-home direct-sale jewelery parties. They're downright Precious. // [In reply to] Can't Post

 

Before kids, exercising with LOTR meant listening to the soundtrack while I ran.

After kids, exercising with LOTR means having an all out dance party with the little ones to the "Break the Dam Release the River" disco mix form the Lego game.
