The Hobbit Caption Contest VI
|
Can't Post
|
|
Thanks very much to TORnsib and Fellow Les Miz Fan dormouse for picking me as the fifth winner of The Hobbit Caption Contest.
According to the sacred rules as handed down by The Indefatigable Otaku-sempai I shall now hereby enter the sixth screenshot for all of you to name:
The original screencap is here.
******************************************
Elves and Men and Dwarves gonna cower,
When I finish building my tower,
When I finish building my tower with the Eye on top!
Watch that Eye and see how it glowers,
Ain't no contest between the Two Towers,
Nosey folks'll peek thru' palantirs and their eyes will pop!
The battlement's black and immeasurably strong, an adamant mountain of iron,
A buttress of steel, impossibly tall, held aloft by the power of Sauron!
See that Eye a winkin' and blinkin',
Ain't no finer tower I'm thinkin',
You can keep Orthanc if you're thinkin' that I'd care to swap,
For my black and shiny tower with the Eye on the top!
-Rodgers and Hammerstein, The Lord of the Rings

In her exquisite white flowing himation Halsis the daughter of Dís enjoys the Dale Bazar despite her singular and extraordinary case of Dwarvish-gigantism. //

The exclusively human market of Dale is no place for Dwarf to Dwarf salesmen (or women)

Dale's gone about as fer as they can go.
They got a great big market in the middle of the town.
The Dwarves've sold 'em a great big dandy bow!
One of the gals is short and pink and pretty
As round above as she is round below
I could swear that she was padded from her shoulder to her heel
But then I saw her whiskers and her whiskers made me feel
That every single thing she had was absolutely real!
She went about as fer as she could go
Yes, Sir! She went about as fer as she could go!

Dwarf Woman: "Just keep smiling... just keep smiling... Best meat pie third year running, I'll show you Mrs. Haversham. Next year is my year..."
On another note: wow was the pre-Smaug Dale set rich with detail, that I can only really appreciate in still shots. I knew how much work was put into it from the Appendices feature, but the chance to see it in this way is nice.

How can I resist Rodgers and Hammerstein?
Go forth and post!

Ha! My cunning plan worked! It is a truth universally acknowledged that Darkstone cannot resist a musical theatre reference.
If only Rodgers and Hammerstein were sill around to deal with dwarves and dragons, wizards and elves. Ah, well.
Thank you very much, sir, and I will get on to #VII.
What is that I hear in the distance? "Tra la la la lally"? Just let me check this out first...
