Title Contest/Caption Contest XCIX (99)... Can't Post

Thanks for the monogrammed toaster oven Maciliel!
It shall be a welcome addition to my growing collection of monogrammed toaster ovens ;0).

The following montage may be bending the rules a little, but hopefully it is still in keeping with the spirit of the game.
Here goes...

What is it that you want us to do, Bladerunner? [In reply to] Can't Post

Caption all three images separately, or try for a caption that encompasses all the pics?

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 think he want us to caption them separately. [In reply to] Can't Post

At least that's how I'd do that.

Picture 1: I guess it's back to the bench press.

Picture 2: Hey, Gandalf! You'll find this too hot to handle!

Picture 3: Ah, I'll watch the stooge stumbling around in the street while I eat my carrot.

I always follow my job through.

Encompass all three if possible.... [In reply to] Can't Post

...however, not obligatory.
If posters prefer to caption only one picture or each individually depending on their inspiration, that is fine also.

I'll do my best to select the best post (and only one, promise!).

(By the way, if the mods wish to edit the post to go with one pic then the first one will do).

Apologies for the confusion :-O.

Picture 1: "You see that, Agmar? That's a staff."

Picture: "Oh yeah, you have white staff. Look at my fire sword +18 damage!!!

Picture: "What? I am just eating this carrot, don't pay attention."

"So what? My sword lights up in the dark".....

"That's nothing - my carrot is actually a time machine."

While he acquitted himself well against both stave and sword, the young D'Artagnan was flummoxed by Aramis' choice of half-eaten carrots at dawn. / [In reply to] Can't Post

"Hinder me? Thou fool. No living man may hinder me!"

Pippin: Gandalf, you don't suppose [In reply to] Can't Post

this is going to be like real wizard's chess, do you?

Gandalf: Yes, Pippin, I think it's going to be exactly like wizard's chess.

Peter: Wait a minute! No, Gandalf, no!

Gandalf: Peter, it's you that has to go on, not me, not Pippin - you!

Peter: Hmm, okay. Well, get on with it then! A fellow could catch his death outside in this rain!

Scenes from the Middle Earth Wizard Olympics! [In reply to] Can't Post

Picture 1: Gandalf is about to attempt a high-flying dismount after a spectacular routine on the uneven bars.
Picture 2: The Witch King proudly bears the Olympic Torch during the Opening Ceremony.
Picture 3: From the Gold Medal round of the SpellCasting competition: "Amazing! He's just turned this cloudless day into a torrential downpour and my microphone into a carrot! Wait, is this thing on?"

triplet [In reply to] Can't Post

 
1. gandalf: (wheezing) "go back..." (grunt) "...to the abyss! fall into the..." (grunt) "...nothingness that awaits you..." (grunt) "...and your master!" (fast, heavy breathing) "and look upon how many pull-ups i can do..." (grunt) "... and despair!"

..


2. witch-king: (bad-ass speechifying to gandalf) "do you not know death when you see it, old man? this is +my+ hour --- ouchie!!!! my thumb!!!!! my thumb is on fire!!!!"

..


3. (electronic voice from off to the side): "peter -- peter...... that's not your microphone. the crew can't hear anything you're saying." (fainter) "lenny!!!! peter's talking into the carrot +again+. i thought we said no more carrots on set?!!!"


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

"Halloo, Musketeers? Fighting here, are you? And the edicts? What is become of them?"... [In reply to] Can't Post

...and the winner is Darkstone "Pierre-foncé" Dumas for the witty reference to the classic novel ;0).

I had quite a few laughs reading everyone's responses!

I was initially unsure about juxtaposing the dramatic Witch-king image with the comical Peter, "Velvet Storm," Jackson image, but the responses turned out to be quite entertaining.

Looking forward to the Darkstone edition of the Caption Contest!
