We have a Party to Plan for them Bagginsesssessss... :D Can't Post

Thursday, Sept 22 is a great time to let our geek-flags fly as we celebrate Bilbo and Frodo's blended birthdays!! What's neat is that this one falls so close to the weekend when it's easier for everyone to get in and play some games!

So please put on your thinking caps and feel free to launch a party favour/game/thread of your own over the weekend anytime starting on Wednesday if it's easier for you. It's okay if there are similar games/activities as they will still be unique and fun to dive into :D

We'll keep them here on MAIN... and please be sure to identify your post as part of the Party... like this: **GAME: or **PARTY: so they're easy to find.

Here's an interesting little tidbit from our September 2016 post in preparation of the Baggins' Party:


Quote
This coming September 22, Bilbo’s and Frodo’s Birthdays fall on a Thursday (2016). This is the same day mentioned twice in The Lord of the Rings. The next Thursday Birthday isn’t until 2022!!!



TALLY HO!!!!! :D

**GAME - Dust off your drabbles, dearies! [In reply to] Can't Post

Seems ages since there was a flurry of drabbles. Ancient ones or brand new ones welcome. Precisely 100 words - not counting title, I think? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
Start thinking about it... Smile
Edit: Actually, should that be entitled game or party? I leave it to Admins to decide.

You've got it right :D [In reply to] Can't Post

I love drabbles! Thank you for hosting this!!!!! *hugs*

Yes, it's 100 words not including the title or any side notes. The body of work is the only thing that's 100 words. You can even be creative with the words if you need to. You know... like "t'was" instead of "it was"... I count some of my shortcuts... "fersher" = "for sure" and "don'tchaknow" = "don't you know". Just like our pants threads, use your imagination!

And since this is a Party.... feel free to dub it **PARTY:


:D

I've got a couple I'm working on [In reply to] Can't Post

I love the Gaffer's words of wisdom and proverbs, so I'm going to pull something together about those.

And in honour of the 20th Anniversary of the release of The Two Towers, I'm also going to do a Two Towers multiple-choice game.

Remember, it's ok to do a game or activity on the same topic. Each one will always be unique :)
