Title Contest LXII (62) – One Year Anniversary
|
Can't Post
|
|
One year ago today (July 6) began this ongoing delightful Captioning Adventure. It was created, and has been maintained and cheered-on by our indefatigable BlackFox. To her, and to all who have joined on this Enchanted Journey, may we have a . . . HAPPY ANNIVERSARY **The crowd (oh yes, more than one gross) is on their furry feet, jumping, cheering, clapping; the drums are t-t-tapping, the pipes are p-p-piping; and the “crack” of backarappers, the “whoomp” of goblin-barkers, and the roaring shouts of “BlackFox! BlackFox! Jolly old BlackFox!” rings far across the land.** Thank you Brethil for choosing my silliness as a winner in the last round. Would that I had something special to start this 2nd year, but it is what it is, so. . . caption away . . . Click the “Click” for a larger image. Click
Boromir looked in surprise at Bilbo, but the laughter died on his lips when he saw that all the others regarded the old hobbit with grave respect. Only Glóin smiled, but his smile came from old memories. -JRR Tolkien

What do you call a hobbit folded in two? A quarterling. //

According to BlackFox they are nearly "Quarterlings".

Wow, time flies when you're having fun! I never seem to be able to come up with something clever, but have definitely been enjoying everyone else's contributions. Thanks for kicking this off BlackFox!

It's funny you should come up with this! The Forgotten Realms novel I'm presently (re)reading (Murder in Cormyr by Chet Williamson) has a main character whose grandpaw was a Halfling.
And before you think of me as an eighthling, let me tell you that I have heard that old wheeze told by innumerable drunken wits in an infinitude of taverns. Spare me this time. "At the end of the journey, all men think that their youth was Arcadia..." - Phantom F. Harlock

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.

I rarely come up with something special. This is only my second win out of 61! BTW - 61 Caption Contests in one year. My calculator tells me that's almost one a week...
