Getting to know you questions request thread
|
Can't Post

After an enforced break, on my part, way to much stuff going on here in RL sadly, though it's finally looking like it's quietening down *keeps fingers crossed*, the Getting to know you Q&A is back and this month we're asking questions of our one and only (and lovely) grammaboodawg!
So TORnlings if you've ever had a burning question you'd just love to put to our favourite Gramma, now's your chance.
gramma has promised not to peek 
*whispers* Anyone feel like asking her, her favourite question?

One by one they faded, and fell into shadow...
One book to rule them all
One book to find them
One book to bring them all
And in TORn bind them
In the land of TORnadoes...where the brilliant play

How did you discover Tolkien?
If you could ask Tolkien one question, what would it be?
If you could live anywhere in Middle-earth, where would it be and why?
How would you spend your perfect day?

Which member in the Fellowship do you like the least?
What was PJ's worst casting decision?
Which part of the LOTR and/or Hobbit movies do you always fast forward through?
What do you think was PJ's biggest movie mistake?
Why am I asking such nasty questions of such a nice lady?

ice cream?
1. What's your worst ice cream combo?
2. Who would win in a fight - the talking purse or the thinking fox?
3. If you could make an ice cream fortress (or dwelling), which Middle-earth fortress (or dwelling) would you re-create, and why?
4. Which do you save from a sinking ship - the freezer of ice cream tubs, or the shelf full of Tolkien books? You can only pick one.

How does one quiz the Doyen of TORn? Let's try:
- You've been to many moots! Can you tell us about a memorable moment? An I-can't-believe-it-happened moment? And an embarrassing moment?
- Can you tell us how each of your furry friends got their names?
- And for those who don't know: could you tell us about your Tolkien-inspired home, and post pics?

1. You get to spend a few hours with the Professor. Would you rather sit down for a hobbity meal, take a walk along his favorite paths, or have a pint at the Bird and Baby with him?
2. What is one Tolkien/Middle-earth related dream or ambition that you haven't fulfilled yet?

What would you be doing now if you had never read a Tolkien book?
Which or the trees in Arda would you most like to see (or hug, if you prefer)?
Favourite poem?
If you could, would you?

1. What is the geekiest observation you've ever made?
2. If you could pick one costume from the five PJ Middle-earth movies to slip into, which would it be?
2.a. What would you do in it?
“Tollers,” Lewis said to Tolkien, “there is too little of what we really like in stories. I am afraid we shall have to try and write some ourselves.”

1. What’s a boodawg?
2. Am I the only one that doesn’t know what “:D” means?
3. Do you have a cabin in the woods named “Rivendell” or “Lothlorien”?
4. Do you have a “mathom” room in your house filled with Tolkienalia?
5. Do you have a dog named “Huan”?
6. If you stacked all your Tolkien books one atop another would they be higher than a Hobbit?
7. How fast can you type? My guess 60-70 WPM.
8. If you could change the name of your street would you pick “Bywater Road”, “The Great East Road”, “The Greenway”, or “Bagshot Row”.
9. If you had a visit with Prof. Tolkien would you ask him politely if he changed your life on purpose?
10. Did you originate the word "Bwahahaha!"
11. Why do we all love you and appreciate your hard work? Because you deserve it!
