Greetings!

Today is Day Seven of our Countdown to Founders Day -- yes, TORn's annual holiday, in honor of the folks who founded this place 12 years ago, is coming up in only one week!

We're marking down the days with a series of posts based on the 12 Days of Christmas...today's theme is a watery one! We tried very hard, but could not find any swans a swimming other than this one:

There, were, however, a number of waterlogged guys to choose from!

So, with that we bring you the first and probably only TORn Swim Meet:

In Lane 1, we have Aragorn doing the backstroke...

In Lane 2, Frodo, who looks a little nervous...

In Lane 3, a Synchronized Swim Team Ent-ry

In Lane 6, Sam, who's off to a slow start...

And, in Lane 7, Gollum and his fish...

Galaderial has just twanged the bow, and...they're off!


Who do you think will be the winner?

Anyone want to give us some play-by-play commentary on our soggy guys as they make their way to the finish line?

See you on Founders Day -- April 26! Coming soon to a device connected to the Internet near you!

PS -- Special thanks to Silneldor for help with the photos!
 
Aragorn is taking a nap in the water, Isildur is stuck full of arrow, Frodo is chasing pretty lights, the ents are relaxing in the wave pool, Sam cuts open his foot on the riverbed, Saruman, is well dead, and Gollum is taking a snack break. Galaderial wins!!
 
I think we 'ave a live one here[:)].

You know your movie trivia. Sean did a number on his foot and Elijah took a fascination to it all. Delays all 'round here ha!

And welcome to our hobbit abode herewith. You have found a good spot to dwell me thinks, but i am rather partial to these hereabouts. May you come to be also:)
 
They may be turtles but, we all know what happened to the hare![evil]

You are doing a great job weaver! For some reason this one made me laugh! You don't realize how many underwater shots there are in LOTR until you screen cap it out. Are there any more? My brain is a little slow right now...[:|] Either that or I'm lazy![shocked][laugh]
 
The rest of the guys are rather wet-behind-the-ears, and Galadriel's working on her "swan song".

[:P]

Great pics, weaver! Now I'm waiting for Darkstone to ask why you didn't post the missing scene with Éowyn in the shower...[angelic]
