**World Hobbit Day** Primula's Pun Parameters: A Word Play adventure!
|
Can't Post
|

A Paronomastical Party(Yeah, I had to look that up! )
* Here's the idea
* Choose a topic with Pun Potential and begin a sub-thread in reply to this one. A couple of examples: 1. Subject line "I've been caught between a Roac and a hard place!" A sample reply: "You'd just have to say 'snail and farewell.'" 2. Subject line "Don't be Beorning! Add a Hobbit or LOTR-related pun to this sub-thread!" A sample reply: "Better post mine now before the great ones get all goblin-ed up!" (Thanks to Weaver for this suggestion!) Or try a poem, short story, etc. full of puns. You can even make it collaborative if you like (invite others to add their own lines). Post as many times as you like. (See below for some possible topics) Once you've started, hopefully others will jump in and form a Pun Chain, like this (it starts with the 7th post down): http://newboards.theonering.net/...rum.cgi?post=496190; Just in case, here are a few possible subjects if you'd like to use one: Book of the Moth club The Eagle has landed The unexpected party of the first part Where do we get the Fundin for this project? When lilacs last in Dori's yard bloomed . . . Burglars can't be snoozers How the trolls fell Bolg, the raging power-mad peril (Fa la la la laaa . . .)

to put a pun in every line of this, but it simply refused and did its own thing. So enjoy....whatever this is. A Hobbit Day Poem...Limerick....Thing Hobbits guess riddles for fun, While Elves give two answers for one, Nobody knows how the Ents' humor goes: No-one's ever awake when they're done! Dwarves have a penchant for slapstick, Goblins call gross-outs fantastic A Wizard's amused when his friends are bemused, and sometimes a wee bit sarcastic. Eagle jokes fly right over your head Dragon-speeches are something to dread When bored with the flock-talk, Thrushes tell knock-knocks But you'll have to ask Bard what they said Warg jokes make an audience howl, And Crebain black humor is foul, Moth comedy's quiet but they think it's a riot, and Sauron greets jokes with a scowl Trolls leave their listeners stunned, But I think that when all's said and done Once we get in the groove we always do prove That TORNadoes were just Beorn to pun!

If Hobbits were trees They'd bend with the breeze If Dwarfs were of stone They'd feel right at home But Wizards are diff'rent Each has his own bent Some just wish to sit still and bend men to their will Or revel in nesting with animals are resting While others do wander their time they don't squander But this needs to be punny and my brain's getting runny So to The Hobbit I'll strive to applaud seven-five!
I really need these new films to take me back to, and not re-introduce me to, that magical world. TORn's Observations Lists Unused Scenes

(Channeling Cinderella) Ten minutes ago my flet flew-- I fell off as I went through the door. My head started reeling in the fish I was stealing To keep them off the forest floor! Ten minnows to go and I'm wet through From fishing in Nimrodel's stream. I'm dead if they find me, They might be close behind me I'll Gollum my fish up right now-- I will Gollum all of them up, riiight noooooooow!
