The Hobbit Caption Contest IX
|
Can't Post
|
|
Thanks very much to TORnsib and Fellow Dr. Seuss fan Otaku-sempai for picking me as the eighth winner of The Hobbit Caption Contest.
According to the sacred rules as handed down by The Inestimable Otaku-sempai I shall now hereby enter the ninth 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 a kind of surreal meta sort of way, but weathertop's Legolas McClane has the edge so far. Sorry.

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.

Much to Kili's growing concern, Legolas seemed far more willing than Tauriel had been to throw daggers in his direction.
