The Weeping Willow Pub

[Narya]

WHERE THE BROKEN HEARTED COME TO MEND THEIR HEARTS

This pub is open 24 hours a day 7 days a week, even during winter. We serve Ale by the pint and some roast and mutton on the side. We also have beer and wine straight from Dorwinion (you can't say no to that) Hobbits, elves, men, and even wizards who have had their bad days or are just plain bored to death and have nothing else to do, you may come here and spend your time talking to other people and exchanging your heart-wrenching experiences to all. (it may involve other members of the community, but of course no names ;) )

[Nimawae's hope]

Does that mean we can come and blubber about anything we feel like? I'm feeling slightly depressed and I need to blow off some steam. Got a phsyciatrist around here or anything?


You know I really like these places but I have to figure out an effective way to keep them from ever getting boring!! Any ideas.

[Gary Gamgee]

Bagcrumble suddenly flutters through the window and lands on a stool next to Nimawae's 'hi how you doing? i was on my way to buddy's clubhouse, when i heard you speak. i could be of some help to you, please dont hold back' said the duck.

[Goldberry344]

*gasps* it comes in pints??

[Narya]

Yes my dear lass, it comes in Pints! Tell the Tooks, they can come in and wallow in Ale if they want to! ;)

Anyway, what depresses you Nimawae?? I have a better ear than I have a tongue. If there's anything I can do, I'll be glad to help. How about we start with a pint of ale???

[Goldberry344]

oh, so sweet, :)

[Narya]

which is a good thing now that you mentioned it, I've got a bottle of the finest wine back in the cellar there, and it's not Dorwinion but it's sweet as sweet can be. You want to get a sip of that?

[Goldberry344]

*yummy* some of the old vineyards....almost as old as i am... like that takes much!

[Narya]

I also just noticed that my posting at the Marketplace was deleted without an explanation.

Is it members only?

[Narya]

in this thread I am known as Cherry Brandybuck of Grindwall. The Weeping Willow Pub is addressed at the the top of The Hill, across the Water, turn a sharp left at Bag-end and you've got it.!

[Goldberry344]

you dont have to be a member to go to the marketplace....hrumph. i dont know why it was deleted. :(

[Nimawae's hope]

Hmmmm, everybody is so happy I don't know if I ought to be depressing right now. I'll take a nap instead. Goodnight everybody.
*Lays head on the table and is out like a light*

[Goldberry344]

oh, no. you cant just put it off. why are you depressed. would you like a pint (Cause it DOES come in pints!)?

[Elbereth]

Elbereth walks in feeling sad and forlorn.

Then takes a seat at the far side of the bar, orders a pint of Foster's, and drowns her sorrows.

[Gary Gamgee]

Gary walks over to Elbereth. 'Hi Elbereth, you look sad, do you mind if i join you?' He sits down. 'what's the matter petal?'

[Zale]

Zale walks in. He jumps up onto a stool, and shouts: "I will be official psychiatrist! ('cos I can spell it right!) Direct your woes at me."

(But please say whether you want an official answer or not, or I'll look like a fool!)

[Buddy Baggins]

Buddy runs through the Shire and comes to the pub.
He bursts in the door.
Gasping for air he falls on the ground.
"Clubhouse......gone...firework blew...it up....two hooligans...Bill...Tim.....help...tired....all gone...destroyed..boom....." Buddy faints.

[Elbereth]

"Hey Gary, take a seat...and thank you for your concern. I'm just so depressed. Valar is going to loose his job at the Single's Bar because we are going to get married soon. I feel like it is all my fault!"

*breaks down crying*

"And to think that the same people who I considered a friend...are the same people who are fighting so hard to replace him. I feel so betrayed!!!"

*puts her face in her hands and starts sobbing*

[Tarien]

'Elbereth, it's not that bad. I mean, what if the poll turns out that Valar can keep his job? Make sure you vote, cuz every vote counts. I'll vote for you.' says Tarien, trying to make Elbereth feel better about herself.

[Elbereth]

*sniff...sniff* "Thank you Tarien." *feebly attempts to smile*

"I'll vote...but why, oh why did it have to come to this...my poor Valar!" *begins crying softly* :(

[Tarien]

'Elbereth' Tarien says softly. 'Don't worry. Last time I checked, we were in the lead. Try to get other people to vote for Valar. I mean, we have a trained bouncer with connections. Who would want to replace that?'She attempts to make Elbereth smile.

[Narya]

Hey there, my lad, what's gotten into you??? What do you mean the Clubhouse blew up??? Hey?? Tatters!!! this guy's gone cold!!! Help you guys, stop getting all down and help me pick this hobbit up!!! Let's get him on the table *whistles to her Chief Cook in the kitchen* Ai!! Sam!! Sam!!! Can you give us a hand here!! Buddy Baggin's on the floor!!!

[Buddy Baggins]

Buddy awakes.
"I'm alright! I'd just need help with my clubhouse all in a pile and all. Two hooligans named Tim Proudfoot and Bill Banks fired a firework at it! If you'd like to help, come to the field down that lane" he pointed out the window."I better go!" He ran out the door down the lane.

[Nimawae's hope]

*Watching Buddy go* Hm, rather fast-moving little fellow isn't he? He'll probably be back before we know it.....did he mean that club house is still on fire? Maybe I should go help....

Elbereth quit bawling. I still want Valar to be the bouncer. And I bet most still do......anyway, at least you have a guy....

*Still wondering if Buddy needed some help*

[Elbereth]

*sniff..sniff*...

"OK...OK,I'll stop. I'm cried out anyway."

*Finishes up her beer, thanks everyone for their kindness, and then leaves to go check out Buddy's damaged club house.*

[Narya]

Ai! These baginses are queer folk indeed if half the tales be true. And they are. Never have seen anyone faint that fast. Could've sworn there was something wrong with the fellow. Running up here yelping like a dog, then falling face down, and getting up again, that fast! Ai!! Leave him to his cot!

*goes back to the tables and cleans them up* Oi! Elbereth, before you go you must pay your drink. I don't remember you paying for this yet.

[Goldberry344]

Goldie pays for Elbereth's drink.

hehe, she's fixed the clubhouse. she deserves a free drink.

[Elbereth]

*from outside of Buddy's rebuilt clubhouse, Elbereth overhears Narya's comment about not paying the tab with her super Valar powers .*

*thinks to self* "Hmm...I thought I left the money on the table. I swear to Illuvatar that I did."

[Goldberry344]

oh, elbereth's been caught bar-lifting, er, bar-drinking-and-leaving...?

[Narya]

She saved buddies cot! Not mine!! I have to run this business or I go out bankrupt!! I might serve free drinks if I were that rich, as rich as Baginses, but there ya have it!! Have no money stored in my hole, plain as plain. All them earning go to groceries for the Pub. Plus the Mayor askes too much in taxes.

[Goldberry344]

Christopher son of John!!!! i said i payed for her!!

(how do you like my new exclamation?? clever. hehe)

[Narya]

There's no need to get angry. *takes the money*

[Goldberry344]

but its funnnn....

oh, Narya, one more post and it's 100!!!

[Narya]

Made it!!!

Well back to the Weeping Willow pub.

I have arranged for a special dinner party here. Ale will be served at 50% off and I'll be serving Buffalo Wings, and Chops. Plus many side-dishes. What do you say??? Will you help in the prepations and the invites????

[Goldberry344]

of course i'll help. tell me what to do. :)

but now is time for sleepies, in real life, too.

[Elbereth]

*returns to the bar to hear Goldberry's comment and Narya rant and complain.*

Goes to the table that she was formally sitting at ...looks at the table. It is cleared and sparkling clean. She then looks under the table. "Just as I thought."...picks up a sparkling gold coin from the ground...dust it off and hands it to Narya.

"Narya, whoever cleaned this table knocked my payment on the ground, here it is. I know that Goldberry paid for me but keep it as a tip for the grief. I'm just sorry I didn't hand it to you personally. "

[Narya]

Yep! Gold it is! Thank you Elbereth.

Now that we've settled that, I am inviting you to a dinner party here at the pub, that'll be next week. Invite all you want to come, I am serving Ale by the Pint, some by the barrel if they like at 50% discount and Buffalo Wings and Chops. Can't say no to that.

[Aredhel]

Comes in,"Don't tell me you're all out of Oliphaunt Wings, Chops, Steak, and Roast!"

[Nimawae's hope]

You eat oliphaunt!!???!!!! YUCK!!!! Its a little too rubbery for me......anything else going on here besides food planning?........any more good depressing conversations?

[Elbereth]

"Thank you Narya, I'd love to come. I try to get Valar to come too, if he isn't too busy."

*Elbereth then says her goodbyes and heads to the Burning Dragon Singles Bar.*

[Goldberry344]

hmmm, Oliphaunt is what Elgee feedsa her cats. thats what makes them so big. i dont think i want any. im fine just the size i am. :)

[Elbereth]

Returns after leaving the Singles Bar abruptly. Orders a pint of Ale...and sits down in a booth in the very back of the bar to drown in her sorrows."

"I'm so depressed...I just don't know why anymore."

*starts softly singing an old Carpenters tunes to herself*

"Talking to myself and feeling old. Sometimes I'd like to quit. Nothing ever seems to fit...Hanging around....nothing to do but frown...Rainy days and Mondays always get me-ee down.

What I've got they used to call the blues...Nothing is really wrong...Feeling like I don't belong...Walking around...some kind of lonely clown...Rainy days and Monday's always get me-ee down....Hangin' around, nothing to do but frown...rainy days and Mondays al-waays get...me-eee down...."

...The song then trails off, a tear fall down her gloomy face...and she takes another sip of her beer.

[Aredhel]

Sits down,"I'm depressed too."

[tookish-girl]

A young tookish-girl runs in and nicks a packet of kit-kats off Elbereth.
"I knew you were hiding some extra ones! You can't fool me!"
She quickly runs backs out the door, poking Goldberry jubilantly on the way out.

[Elbereth]

Despite her depression...she couldn't help but smile slyly to herself..pulls out an extra pack of kit kats.

(nothing like a chocolate fix when you are depressed)

[Goldberry344]

*Goldberry pokes Elbereth and steals half her kit kat* "Sharing is caring!!! :)"

[Nimawae's hope]

So Aredhel and Elbereth are depressed? What's the matter? You know I'm very good at listening to people's problems.....maybe I can help......



*Mutters* People must really like kit kats around here.

[Elbereth]

"Here Nimawae, kit kats come in three's."

*breaks off a piece and hands it to Nimawae*

"Yes I was very depressed earlier...but I am feeling better now."

[Nimawae's hope]

Oh! Thanks for the candy! (I thought they came in fours!?!)
So what was making you depressed earlier? Having marital difficulties or something? Or did somebody die?

[Goldberry344]

HEHE, kit kats came in 4s until Elbereth ate one, i took one, she gave one away and then ate another.

i think , but i dont know anything, that this bouncer stuff is getting to elbereth. its getting to me too. it should end. right now. maybe ill make it end. hrumph.

[Nimawae's hope]

Oh....in that case maybe I'll join you....it is high time to get onto another subject.....besides I don't Valar to lose his job...

.....You know Elbereth, you stole him from me....I was the first in line to get him!!! Of course I don't blame you for that......I was dumb enough to play hard to get!!:rolleyes: :rolleyes: But I think he should keep his job if anyone gets it!! Don't worry I won't hit on him or anything....he's yours fair and square!!:D :D :D :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Sorry just felt like giving someone a hard time!

[Elbereth]

*shocked expression*

"Nimawae! I didn't know that! But I guess I'm not surprised...Valar is a charming guy and quite handsome in his dark suit." *sigh*. (Visions of Valar flash through her mind)

"Oh sorry about that. What were we saying....that's right I remember. I can't believe you had a thing for Valar too. You play hard to get well. But no offense, I am glad you did." ;)

[Goldberry344]

*sigh* "no one goes for a nice frolicking half-elven maiden anymore, do they?? hrumph."

[Narya]

Here, here, you girls...guys are always like that you know, causing trouble and all. Why, I have fallen in love with someone here, only to find out he's married! *starts whimpering* He never said anything about having a wife! *sobs in great levels*

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH :(

[Goldberry344]

Rushes over to Narya and hugs her...that is horrible.... *SOB!*

[Narya]

*sniff! sniff!*

Isn't that disgusting???

So you see, I feel for you girls who have boy-problems. I had to unlearn my love for him. Though now we are still friends, I still can't forget him...and his deceiving ways! WAAAAAAAH!!!

But what the heck I have moved on since. I have found new love. But this love is very, very odd. And very dangerous. So it's also a depression of mine.

I guess that's why I put up this pub in the first place. To have somewhere to drown my sorrows in, and at the same time, give all you a place to do the same.

Hows about a round of Beer, on me???

[Elbereth]

*recieves her pint of beer graciously*

"A Toast to Narya! The gracious creator of our new haven of refuge. For misery loves company...and this company is so miserable! To the drowning of our sorrows! To Narya!!!!"

"TO NARYA!" The crowd yells with their pints raised high in the air.

[Narya]

TO US ALL!!! Let them heartbreakers see how we manage well with beer and mutton!!! *drinks the beer down to the last drop*

Now back to your problems. What's this problem you have with Valar, Elbereth?? Is he about to loose his job at the bar or are they giving him so much trouble now that you are getting hitched?

[Elbereth]

"A little bit of both problems, really...although nothing has been decided about his job or our ability to return to the bar after our marriage ...and nobody can agree on a course of action to take. I have had enough of it all. I would like to forget about the whole mess."

*drinks until her pint is empty, then orders another pint*

"And now...well, now I just miss him!! I haven't heard from Valar since this weekend. And I am afraid to take him away or distract him from his duties at the Burning Dragon, especially with his job in jeopardy. If only Eru will give me a sign!"

[Narya]

I know exactly how you feel. It's like getting caught between the devil and the deep blue sea.

Say, you've had experience on the matter, I need some advice. what do you suggest I do if I am falling for someone in the forum? He doesn't know (psst! he's not the married guy either. At least I think he's single. Didn't say though.) Anyway, as I was saying, he and I have this sort of special relationship, that's how I feel anyway, but I sort of want it to go to the next level, but I'm afraid to scare him off, or suffer another broken heart, (oh those pints are doing their job pretty well. I'm getting all talkie.)

So what do you suggest I do???:confused:

[Elbereth]

"That's hard to say, because it is different for every scenario (and I don't know enough info to give you better advice) but, I suggest that you do not rush things. Start building a relationship on a friendship level, dropping little hints, whenever you feel it is appropriate. But don't push too hard. That's all I can really suggest here. If you need any more advice...PM me with more info."

[Elias]

*Elias walks in. Hello everybody. *Orders a beer and walks to a corner table alone.

[Aredhel]

Grabs a pint of beer, and goes over to Elias,"Can I join you?"

[Elias]

*Turns and sees Aredhel. Of course, sit down and let's have a chat.

[Aredhel]

She slides into the seat,"Whereabouts are you from?" Takes a sip of the beer, "I'm from Rivendell."

[Elias]

*Tries to look mysterious but failes badly. "My house is near to Lonely Mountain but I haven't been there for almost a year because I have travelled around the Middle Earth.

[Aredhel]

"What have you seen? Have you been to Rivendell?"she asks.

[Elias]

"I have seen plenty of great things, I like the ents most. No I haven't been to Rivendell yet but I would love to visit there. I've heard that is a beautiful place." finish his beer and orders another one.

[Aredhel]

"You should come for a visit. We have the best peaches in Middle Earth. Maybe Tar-Ancalime will let you eat one. She covets them like they were her own children!,"she laughs, and finishes her mug. Then she orders the special.

[Elias]

"Well, well sounds great" looking at the special drooling. "I'm getting one".

[Goldberry344]

*Goldberry continues to uncharactaristically mope over her pint, which she hasnt even taken a sip of* "What's wrong with men these days?

[Narya]

*sits down with Goldberry*

Ok, now, what do you say we start making plans for the big night here at WW? What do you suggest for decorations and give-aways?? And who will be our guest of honor?? Shall we send for Gandalf for fireworks?? The menu should also be prepared, all the orders must be sent out today and tomorrow if this party's going to be proper.

[Goldberry344]

*Goldberry perks up* "ohh, do you want this to be formal or casual?? and decorations depend on the occasion....so does food..."

[Narya]

It's casual just a get together party Plus, I think it's about time I served some of the old Wynyard that has been donated by the esteemed Mr. Baggins before he departed over sea and some Ale and Beer, and we'll be having a smoke rings competition. So you might as well send invitations and flyers all over Hobbiton.

[elenya]

Elenya walks in with a limp. She orders a drink than takes it to an empty table to sit and be in pain and really angry at certain people.

[Narya]

*walks over to the newcomer* Hullo! What be your problem, me-lady?

You seem to be disturbed...Can I be of some service to you???

[Elbereth]

"Sorry to interupt Narya. I just wanted to say good bye...I also wanted to invited both you and Elenya to my wedding. I hope you both can attend. Anyway, I'm off to the Golden Halls of Rohan to make the final preparations for the wedding. I'll see you all there!"

[Narya]

I would come invited or not, anyway.
No problem Elbereth! Of course we'll come, won't we Elenya??


Thanks for reminding me.

[Elbereth]

"Anytime Narya!!! I'll see you there!!!!", Elbereth yells as she takes off on a large silver eagle towards Rohan.

[Narya]

*as Elbereth left the Pub*

Well, since elenya is the only customer left I believe we can start the planning process Goldberry...this will certainly be a nice compliment to Elbereth's wedding reception as everybody will be in a partying mood after for days I expect. So we should make the best of it.

Alright then, the decorations will be handled by you, of course, choose some stuff that would remind people to keep drinking, and get everyone in the mood for singing and dancing. Ok???


Well, I have the list of food that will be served and orders from all over Hobbiton.

I will check with the other pubs to see if they have anything of the same planned out so we can have a bar-hopping event.

Plus can you check if there are available bands out there?

[elenya]

Of course I'll go! I think Korhall's starting a jazz band so we could ask him if he wanted to play for the wedding.

[Nimawae's hope]

Is this thread starting on the wedding stuff too? You girls know that you will soon have ALL of the men chased out of this place don't you? Oh well, guess it doesn't matter too much........Not to change the subject but has anyone seen Dain around lately? Maybe I'm crazy, but it seems that he's been awfully scarce.....

[elenya]

I haven't seen dain either. And I guess I could go back to having my bad day now.

Ya I can barely bend my legs today and my feet hurt badly. That's how much I danced yesterday not to mention the total lack of sleep.

[Goldberry344]

oh, men, who cares? they're more fuss than they're worth....

[Narya]

NO! Contrary to popular belief, this thread is NOT about the wedding. I said that since there will be a wedding, we might as well take advantage of the festive mood and have a sort of Big Night, but this affair has NOTHING to do with Elbereth's and Valars' wedding. We will even have a smoke rings competition and a pie eating contest.

So NO. the answer is NO this is not in any way connected with the wedding.

[Goldberry344]

oh, i am so in the pie eating contest. i mean, after dieting for a few weeks, i deserve a little break...:) i could eat a cow, if it were a HUGE blueberry pie.

*goldie sits down on the chair she brought from buddy's and starts working on decos for the big night*

[elenya]

Why diet? It's actually bad for you! Think about it. Diet is DIE with a T.

[Narya]

*scratches her head* well I'm off. I think I'll be visiting Buddy Baggin's club today and see if I can get some herbs and pipeweed from him.

*leaves for the door*

[Goldberry344]

because carrots are yummy. :)

[Nimawae's hope]

Gee! I didn't know there was going to be a big night. Hey I bet I could do really well on that pie contest!!!:D What else is going on in this place? Are we still serving beer, cuz I need a pint!

[Goldberry344]

aha, here i am replying to your post again...but never staliking you, nimwae...

and i dont believe it comes in pints here. you get either 1/2 or 1 and 1/2 pints. never just a whole. ;)

[Nimawae's hope]

Ok, in that case I'll take a pint and a half! I'm going to have to walk out in a hellacious thunder storm here pretty soon and I need to be warm!!!

[elenya]

Starting today I am oficially in recital mode. Every day from now until the 17th I dance every day. I come home from school, eat, and go. An it only finishes around 9:30. So for the next couple weeks I'm gonna be very tired and very sore. Woo ... Hoo.

[elenya]

Oh my feet! My poor poor feet! This is officially the week from hell and it's not even half-way over!!

*breaks down sobbing*

[Goldberry344]

oh, poor elenya...have a pint and a half. ;)

[Nimawae's hope]

Yeah make her so numb that she can't feel a thing. Hey! It worked for that thunderstorm yesterday!!:D Need to find an interesting subject to talk or complain about in order to keep this place going!! Anybody got a sob story or something?

[Goldberry344]

no, but this post...with this post..i..i...i pass....Elessar..as #10...and i am ..... in the TOP 10!! i'm #10!!! hehe

[elenya]

You need a subject/ I'm full of thoes! I have a huge history test tomorrow which I haven't studied for yet. I was away the days (all three of them) that we learnt about thoes chapters. And there's a big web assignment due tomorrow too. I also have to clean my sister's room because she get's here tomorrow for the summer then I have to practice ...no memorize another scale for band on trumpet before I bomb out of band too. Then I have yet another baller rehersal in what is a long long long line of ballet rehersals to come! Ans I already blistered me feet yesterday! At least the pint IS kinda numbing.

How was that?

[Narya]

*Narya is still at the wedding and trying to keep herself from throwing up again, but her mind is filled with the Big Night in the Weeping Willow Pub.*

*Wonders if Goldberry has finalized the decorations yet*

[Goldberry344]

*Right on cue, Goldie walks through the door with 2 baskets of decorations* "rabbit has a few more...ill go get them, you guys start putting this stuff up. :) "

[elenya]

*grabs the decorations from Goldberry and starts putting them up*

"...la la la...yes I sing while I decorate!"

[Narya]

*Narya steps inside the Pub in her torn, soiled and tattered gown, and ran for the comfort room to throw up*

I will never drink again!!! *she screams as she takes off her gown and washes her face with cold water. She slips into something more comfortable before making herself a cup of coffee, and sits on a chair watching the pub walls dance.*


this is so nice...I see Goldberry's begun her decorations. Very nice, I hope it'll finish just in time for the big night.

*Narya wonders if she will go back to Elbereth's wedding or not.*

I have to go back, or Elbereth will feel like I've let her down. I feel so sick just remembering what happened. I hope Cir isn't too mad at me

[Goldberry344]

ah, Narya, Cir will understand, id be more concerned about Gandaf_white. but while you are moping, help me hang these *hands Narya a basket of oragami-crane chains*

[YayGollum]

Truor Tupnm shows up to supervise. "Hey, where do you people keep your food and drinks? I have to taste test all of it to make sure it's safe for these crazy marrying people!"

[elenya]

Suure. That's what they all say. $10 says if we tell there'll only be half of the food left. But grumps are no fun soo... *pulls out a lollypop from under the counter* It's not our food but it'll just have to do.

[Goldberry344]

*Goldberry steps in front of the food* "no way! this is for the big night...if you want something now go in back and ask the chef for some fish. in the mean time, you can help hang stuff" *Offers Truor a basket of stand up middle earth decorations*

[YayGollum]

...which he sets down on a chair. "I'm always up for some free fish!"

[Goldberry344]

oh, so helpful, they are, nassty wanna be stoor, nassty. he wont do decorationsss, huh? fissshhhh, he says, saysss he, fishssss....

*goldie picks up the decos and puts them on the tables. each table has a different set of LOTR action figures on them, showing a scene from the books, from the Hobbit to ROTK.*

[YayGollum]

Excuse me? Did you just call me a Stoor? I am a Beorning, thank you very much! Argh! Where's the table with the scene where Gollum saves the day?

[Snaga]

Snaga walks in, chewing on a big piece of minty chewing gum.

'Someone said you needed fireworks from the Lonely Mountain? Well... I * ahem * visited recently, so I thought I'd bring some for you. Will a wagon-load be enough? I hope there's no naughty hobbits around here! I don't want them getting my personal favourite firework 'The Balrog'... its like Gandalf's dragon one, but a balrog! And its much scarier!'

He looks around, for his favorite person...

[Narya]

*Narya tries to pin up one of the dangling decorations that Goldberry so exquisitely chose for the BIG NIGHT, when she suddenly felt sick again, and ran for the comfort room*

*After 20 minutes, she comes out, after brushing her teeth and gargling some mouth wash, not to mention washing her face and putting on some powder to keep her from throwing up again*

That wine must be the strongest wine in the world! Why, I've never felt this sick in my entire life...then again I was knocked over by a careening bridesmaid and accidentally hit my head on that incredibly hard wooden chair. Probably what set it off...

*then she sees her old pal Snaga, bringing the fireworks she ordered.*

At last, they have arrived! My, my, Snag, this is the most pleasant event of the day for me...are they all here? No the hobbits are all at the wedding, I was there too, until I got extremely drunk, earlier than expected. Anyway, how much for these???

*Then she noticed Yay...*

Ai! Don't eat all them fishes now, I need them for the Big Night, we are serving roasted fish with chips.

[elenya]

Elenya collapses after trying unsucessfully to put up a decoration on the floor with her lip quivering.

"I'm having a nervous breakdown! I'm going to cry! Oh my! First I have to see my ex who ruined my life than I had to dance for hours and I can't even put up a decoration so now I'm sore and tired and stressed out and ... and ... and having a nervous breakdown!!!"

*Runs into the bathroom*

[Narya]

*Narya saw Elenya breaking apart. She drops everything else, and runs for her, but she already locked herself inside the bathroom*

ELENYA! What's wrong??? Hey, you're doing a great job with the decorations. What's up?? Come on, let's have a talk and maybe you'll feel better... *still no answer just loud heartbreaking sobs* Elenya!! Elenya!!!

*ooc I wish to remind everyone viewing this thread that we are all acting and playing here, don't take everything you read nor post seriously*

[Narya]

ooc Cir, this is a pub, and Elenya was acting...:D

[Snaga]

'Who said that?' says Snaga, feeling a bit spooked by the disembodied voice.

* Scratches his head, wondering what to do about all these hard-drinking, over-stressed women. * 'Next, the Tar-Ancalime will turn up, the Queen of the Drinkers...'

'What would I do if an orc-soldier behaved like that? Give 'em a good kick, and tell 'em to sort themselves out.' He is just about to try it... and then thinks again: 'Would that work? Ummm, maybe not!'

* Thinks... thinks... thinks... *

'Aha! The therapeutic power of animals!' He whistles for Iron-Tooth, his trusty old wolf. Iron-Tooth has been well cared for in Beraid-Rhun... his fur is sleek, and he is happy and well-fed. In fact, he's looking kinda dapper, and almost friendly. (Getting soft, thinks Snaga.)

After a few instructions, Irontooth disappears outside, leaps onto the roof of the front porch, and then in through the bathroom window.

Irontooth tries lots of affectionate nuzzling, and licking away of tears, like he remembers from when he was a cub...

(And they say an orc can't be nice....)

[Narya]

*Scratches her head*

Well, she won't come out...not now, anyway..

*goes back to Snag*

Ok where were we, oh yeah, how much are you charging for these? I need to set them up before the Big Night starts. Please stay Snag, You will be a judge in the smoke-rings competition. Ok?

[Snaga]

'The fireworks? Don't worry about paying... I never do! Anyway, its been a good last couple of months for me. Lots of good plundering. Look! Would you like a present?'

* Produces a beautiful dwarven-made mithril necklace, with many strands of glittering diamonds. *

'I just want some food ... I'm starving. Is there anything tasty to eat? Not fish! I don't like fish!

'Don't worry about Elenya. Irontooth is very friendly. She'll cheer up soon enough.'

[Narya]

*stares at the Orc in bewilderment*

Gee, Snag, I'm speechless, for once...this...*looks at the necklace as it glitters in the sunlight* this is fantastic!! The only gift I got so far, and it's BEAUTIFUL! Now I've got to make you a business partner for this pub! Please say you'll accept. *kisses the Orc, tries hugging him without getting pierced by his armor* please!!

[Snaga]

'I guess you like it then?!' Snaga says, smiling, but not really used to this much affection.

'Er, business partner? Right! OK. I don't know much about running pubs really. I just know how to drink in them! But I'll help out if I can, although I am quite busy with my other jobs.'

* Looks at Narya again *

'Don't you think I might, well, put off the customers a bit?'

[elenya]

After a while Elenya finally comes out from the bathroom petting Iron-tooth, and smiling weakly. "OK...I think I should be OK now. Just as long as I get some chocolate. Thanks you guys."

[Nimawae's hope]

*Gives Elenya a big box of chocolate*
Ah....chocolate....healer of the souls of some women.
(Not me.....I'm too weird for that!)

[YayGollum]

*notices the conversation between Snaga and Narya and decides not to argue about the health issues between raw and roasted fish* "Argh! Now where's that table?"

[Snaga]

Hmmm so what would heal your soul then Nim? Assuming its broken that is...

[Goldberry344]

*Sulks as she finishes hanging up the decorations alone... :( *

[Snaga]

Snaga notices the sulk.

'Well, you're not expecting me to help are you? An orc's idea of decorating is to clean the blood off the walls, and stick a few skulls onto sticks. Just guessing, but you're not looking for that sort of ambience are you??'

He turns to Narya. 'Perhaps you better help her... I'll go and discuss public health issues with Truor.'

[Goldberry344]

*Glares at snaga* you are simply a slave to the power of the......




























ARDVARK!!!!!!

[YayGollum]

Augh! What's with the ardvark craziness?

[Snaga]

She is quite strange isn't she?

[YayGollum]

Oh, yeah. She doesn't even know how to spell aardvark! I think she messed me up a couple times with it though. oh well.

[elenya]

Goldberry's not strange! YOU are! You're such a leezard!

[YayGollum]

Everyone here is strange! Thanks! I like leezards!

[Snaga]

Me too. Pickled leezards are nicest of all.

[YayGollum]

Argh! That's not what I meant! *runs away*

[elenya]

You'd EAT me leezard?? You horrible orc!!! I ought to sik my giant army of leezards on you!

[Goldberry344]

why should i ad an extra a in ardvark when one sufices perfectly? it sems like a waste of leters. who wants to waste leters? i dont, it takes more time and energy, and usues up uneded leters.... :D

[Snaga]

So I'm horrible am I? Thats nice. You want to sik your leezards on me? Ughh! I might eat them, but I don't sik them up afterwards.

Yuk!!! That's to gross even for me.

[elenya]

Not that kind of sik! Sik like make them attack you?? No, I don't want to regurgatate leezards on you!

[Goldberry344]

you silly ardvarks. do not talk about regergitation, please.

[elenya]

All right all right. Soooo....

*looks around the room, starts twidling her thumbs, and rocking on her feet*

....what's everyone want to talk about??

[Goldberry344]

hrumph. Yay, will you go out with me??



HAHAHAHA YOU'RE DUMPED! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Narya]

*Utterly confused*

ok, am I missing something here? I will help in the decorations alright, let's drop the regurgeration thing and also the aardvark thingy, the Big Night is close to 5 hours and the Pipeweed haven't arrived yet, ok, plus Sam hasn't finished baking them pies for the pie-eating contest.

Snag, I meant Partner meaning I need someone to run the place with me, Goldberry has been my interior decorator and Elenya volunteered to take care of the entertainment, I need another manager. You are perfect for the job. That's gonna be an additional plus on my pub, we are the only one who serve both elves and orcs at the same time. :D

[Goldberry344]

oh, just some crazy random ardvark...

Goldie continues setting up middle-earth scenes on the tables.

[Narya]

May I just commend you, dear friend, Goldie, on your marvelous job!! *bows down*

the pub looks perfect!! and it starts looking spectacular with every decor. You are an artist!! Remind me to hire for my hole.

[Goldberry344]

*Grin* no need to hire me, ill help for free. :)

[Narya]

*Narya puts the final touches to her pub, checks the supply of Beer, Ale, Wine (Dorwinion, and Wynyard mind you!), Pie, fish (many were reordered for Yay! ate a lot) Chips, Chops, Chicken, and Tatters, carrots, and of course Pipeweed. The BIG NIGHT has now arrived. She eagerly awaits the coming of the customers.*

*A banner hung in the front of the pub:

BIG NIGHT AT THE WEEPING WILLOW - EVERYONE INVITED!!!

That should finish it. Now for the prizes. I wonder where Goldie is?? and Elenya and her Jazz Band??? They should be here by now. Snaga should be here too. Hmm....

*Then she went inside and polished the tables and put little candles on top, and a bowl of assorted nuts*

these should keep those NUTS busy *grinning and feeling rather amused by her remark.

[Elias]

*Elias walks in. BIG NIGHT!!! Sounds great, looks like that I'm the first to arrive. *Orders a beer.

[Snaga]

Snaga is flattered, but unsure. He's very busy as it is. And Goldberry and Elenya seem... different.;)

'Lets just see how the big night goes eh? We can discuss business later. I really just came here for a drink. Let me see if I can round up the pipeweed for you.'

He whistles to Irontooth and they disappear out of the door together.

[Goldberry344]

OH, and you're normal i s'pose??

Narya, sign me up for the Pie eating contest!!! :D

[Snaga]

hehe no well I am exceptionally cute for an orc actually:D

[elenya]

*Elenya walks in lugging some equipment*

Where do you want me to set up??

[Goldberry344]

ew, a cute orc?? what, did you brush your teeth? giggle...

howbout over in that corner, elenya?? out of the way... ;)

[Snaga]

Hey Goldie... wanna find out??:p

[Narya]

*Narya comes out of the kitchen bringing a few bottles of beer*

I am glad that you came, Snag just the same. Ok you may observe if you wish.

Ok so we have one person signed up for the pie eating contest. Here have some nuts Elessar, they are assorted as you might have noticed, I hope you enjoy them with your beer.

Oh, and Snag, can you set up the fireworks for me please?? Your the pyrotechnics expert anyway, we will light them up at the end of the BIG NIGHT.

Ai! Goldie, these scenes here are a nice touch! Where did you get them by the way??

[Goldberry344]

ewww, no way Ulari!

and, er, *blush, sniggle* i got them at toysRus...

[Narya]

Oh! I see! Shhhhh!!!
:D
*Narya walks up at the pub door, and rings her bell, trying to invite customers to visit her pub*

[Snaga]

Ulairi = ring wraith with black breath
Snaga = mint chewing gum chewing damn cute orc

Just so you know;)

* Sets up fireworks in the front garden, and settles down with a drink outside to watch them in case some mischevious type decides to light them.*

Anyone tries that and I won't be as nice as Gandalf was about it...

:mad:

[YayGollum]

Is this thing ever going to happen? just wondering.

[Ciryaher]

*Ciryaher decides that everything else is too boring and roars into the parking hut in his lopsided chariot*

*deep inhale* 'Tis good to see a place that isn't dead wood! I need my krug filled; and that means all 47 gallons had better be fizzing with good beer! Thankee :D

[Nimawae's hope]

yes....is very active place.....keeps me very confused.......been gone too long.....NNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

[Goldberry344]

either way, snaga (which means slave) ewwwwwwwwwww.

;)

[Snaga]

* YAWNS LOUDLY*

Oh its soooooo boring here. When does the fun start? And whose is this horrible yapping white dog? Can I kill it?

[Narya]

*Notices that people are already feeling feisty*

Ok, here you go, Cir! Handles him a barrel of beer and a pint-size mug. I am serving roasted stuff today. Would you like to try fish and chips or Lamb-chops with honey, or Pork Barbecue?

Snag please don't eat my interior decorator. I see you have set them fireworks up, yeah I do think you need to keep an eye open for those young hobbits in case they take a fancy on them.

Ok, Cir, would you like to join the pie eating contest or the smokerings competition?

Nim, would you like to be in the pie eating contest with Goldie?

So far the only contestant I have is for the PIE EATING CONTEST.

1. GOLDBERRY344

Please join!

[Ciryaher]

Hmm...maybe smokerings. I'm not too big on pie.

*looks at the pint mug and tosses it over his shoulder; he then pries the top off of the barrel and nails a handle to the side*

What about a caber toss? That's a fun game we haven't played in a while.

*drinks out of barrel*

Oooo...tasty.

[Narya]

*What's a caber toss?? We wonders?*

Ok, so you are now signed up for the smokerings competition.

Hey Yay! How about signing up for one contest?

The contestants are as follows:

PIE EATING:

1. GOLDBERRY344

SMOKERINGS COMPETITION:

1. CIRYAHER

[Goldberry344]

i'm not a white dog, though i do have a sorta tanish dog named louie. giggle.

[Narya]

*sorry Goldie. I think Snag was actually referring to your real dog. I think I was the one who misunderstood!*

Anyway, I think this will be a wonderful party don't you think?

Here have some beer with me.

*Gives Goldie a pint of beer and some roasted nuts.*

[Goldberry344]

*Goldie takes the beer and mutters* "im quite sure he called me a dog..."

[elenya]

Elenya comes back from the corner slightly dusty.

"I'm all done setting up! And it's a real good thing people dust this place. *cough cough* Can you feel the sarcasm?? Any requests for music while we're waiting?"

[Ciryaher]

Ohh, could you play Dreamer by Ozzy Osbourne? I really like that one, and it's so lovely. *wipes away an apache tear*

[elenya]

Why not??

*get's up on the make-shift stage and grabs the mic*

Gazing through the window at the world outside
Wondering will Middle Earth survive...

*what?? It's the new ME edited version.:p *

[Narya]

*Sits down to listen to Elenya's song.*

That's a fascinating song, Elenya.

*Claps her hand*

*some more guests enter the pub and Narya had to serve them beer, some called for ale, and others for wine*

[Snaga]

Tossing the caber is a northern pursuit. Take one large tree trunk. Throw as far as you can. Furthest wins. Usually undertaken by men in skirts actually.

Is there a tree we can chop down for the purpose? Mind you I better not do any tree-felling. It'll get me in trouble. Perhaps Ciryaher has a caber in that lop-sided chariot of his?

[Narya]

Oh! Well, Treebeard will certainly not LIKE that game, if we have to fell trees just to have fun. Tell you what we can have something of the sort but we can use something else in place of trees.

I am open to suggestions. It sounds like a fun game.

[YayGollum]

Here I am! Of course I will joing the pie eating contest if I know what kind of pie it is.

[Goldberry344]

LEMON MERANGUE??? APPLE?? BLUEBERRY?? just not somethink grooosss

[Narya]

Ok, updated list of contestants:

PIE EATING CONTEST:

1. GOLDBERRY344
2. YAYGOLLUM

SMOKERINGS COMPETITION:

1. CIRYAHER
2. TURGON

CABER TOSS NO-TREE EDITION:

1. SNAGA1
2. CIRYAHER

[Goldberry344]

oh, this is going to be a ball, well, acctually it'll be a party, but you get my drift.

[Turgon]

Turgon enters the pub and looks around approvingly - sauntering up to the bar he orders a glass of finest red Dorwinian.
'Put me down for the smoke-ring competition - sounds like fun.'
No jokes about smoking being bad for your elf - I've heard them all before.

[Goldberry344]

That was silly. we will have no more silliness here. oh, maybe a bit of silliness, but not too much. too much silliness is bad for your elf. dang it, now im stealing other people's silliness. this must stop.

[Narya]

*Laughs at Turgon's remark, laughs louder at Goldie's remark*

well Goldie my friend, I love your kind of sillyness, however sever it may be!

*hands a glass of fine Dorwinion wine to Turgon and offers the elf a serving of Lamb Chops freshly roasted by Sam Gamgee, the best cook in town*

we have two contestants for the Smoke rings competition. Ciryaher, you'll have a heavy competition with Turgon here.

[elenya]

Elenya goes over to the bar half.
"Tired, sore-throat, taking break from singing. Liquid...please!"

[Ciryaher]

I'm sure we can find a nice tree that has been blown over in a storm. Make sure it's over 6 inches in diameter and over 10 feet long.

I'm ready for the smoke off :D

[Snaga]

* Brings in large pungent smelling crate *

Well just as well I rounded up this pipe-weed then. Pah! Horrible stuff!

I didn't realise I'd been volunteered to toss the caber. C'mon on then... bring it on!!!:D

[Narya]

Snag I volunteered you, hope you don't mind.

anyway, I will have to order them fallen trees as Ciryaher puts it, those that have fallen due to natural causes. I believe the people of the Lonely Mountain know where to get some.



So, we are about to begin the games. We will start with the Pie Eating Contest. Goldie, Yay, are you both ready???

[YayGollum]

Any time. I just hope I'm here. :rolleyes:

[Snaga]

Well when it comes to pie-eating, its easy to pick the winner. Just go with the one with the biggest mouth!;)

[YayGollum]

Yay me! :rolleyes:

[Goldberry344]

i am here.... *drum roll* and i shall win.... :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

[YayGollum]

Ummm...no. I definitely have the bigger mouth out of the two of us! Do we have to wait for something to start?

[Goldberry344]

ya, the pie might be helpful. ;)

[Narya]

Narya comes out of the kitchen bringing a large tray of assorted pies.

I have no idea what is inside them so the two of you, be ready for a variety of flavor. Ok, there are about 100 pieces of pie in this tray...*puts the tray down* each of you get about 50, whoever finishes the most number of pies wins the contest, in less than 30 minutes



(in real life whoever posts the most number of pies eaten wins this game. Snaga and Ciryaher will help me in judging the winners for this contest. The two of you will have to keep posting until someone finally eats up 50 pies in the next 30 minutes. no two pies eaten in one post ok. one pie per post, got it???)

[YayGollum]

*Truor grabs the first pie and just hopes it isn't blueberry* full mouthedly speaking--->"That's one pie for me! Yay cherry!"

[Snaga]

Hee hee there's some surprise flavours. These fruit ones are just too easy, so we've mixed them up. Yay will like the fish pie. But how will they handle the extra hot chicken madras pie?

[YayGollum]

Yay for fish! Did somebody say extra hot chicken? Let me at it! Looks like I'm going to win! That scary Goldberry person hasn't posted anything! *eats another pie* "Yay for apple! I need a fish one next!"

[Khamul]

Drygo enters, and chuckles at the action, and how bad Yay wants to win.

[YayGollum]

with a full mouth---> And what's wrong with that?

[Snaga]

Perhaps then someone should slip in a lembas pie? Nassssty ashes and dusssts chokessss us precious, yess?;)

[Elbereth]

Elbereth pops into the Weeping Willow to check up on Narya, before she heads back to her wedding reception. (She had to leave the wedding to attend the crowning in Gondor, but while she was flying decided to take a detour into the Shire.)

Upon arriving she witnesses the crazy pie eating contest and laughs as Truor flys face first into another pie! He is happy to find it was a fish pie.

She then makes her way to the bar orders a glass of vodka and tonic and then inquires on Narya's where abouts.

"That would be her..." the bartender says pointing to the young Hobbit who is holding a clipboard...which apparently held the tally of pies that have been eaten.

Elbereth then waves to Narya. "Hey girl! How are you doing. The last time I saw you...you were not looking very good. It's nice to see your looking well now!"

[Narya]

*seeing Elbereth at the bar, Narya pauses her tallying and went straight to Elbereth and hugged her*

Hey congratulations, girl!! I am terribly sorry for what I did to your wedding, but nobody warned me of the potency of your served wine. It had me seeing dragons and butterflies all at the same time. But I am very happy for you. Finally all your dreams have come true. Be sure to invite me to your babyshower ok?? giving Elbereth a dig at her side. (Sigh) I wonder when I'll find a prince charming?

*Turns around to see that Goldie has been having trouble finishing one pie*

Who do you suppose will win this game?

(Pie count: YayGollum = 2 ; Goldberry344 = 0)

come on Goldie you can do it!!!!

[Goldberry344]

NO FAIR! I WAS AWAY ALL WEEKEND!!! *goldie shoves a pie into her mouth and sits down at the table reaching for another*

[Narya]

*That's the spirit, Goldie!!! *

The crowd suddenly took up a chant saying "GOLDIE, GOLDIE. GOLDIE" and some from the other side of the room were also chanting "[b]Eat 'em up Yay!! Eat 'em up Yay! Eat 'em up Yay!!" and the pub was humming louder and louder with two different chants from two sides. Yay was already trying to finish his third pie, and Goldie was finishing her second.

:D

[YayGollum]

OOC: Argh! Narya is allowed ot post pies for the scary Goldberry person! oh well.

IC: Truor grabs his fourth pie warily and hopes it isn't nasssty lembas and is happily surprised once again when it's one of the chicken pies.

[Ciryaher]

Ciryaher hatches a devious plot against the unsuspected Truor and replaces his next pie with a pie of his own making....*dramatic chord* A SPAM PIE!

[YayGollum]

*biting into his fifth pie, Truor can't help beaming with delight when he tastes the Spam* "Yay Spam!" (why wouldn't I like Spam? Doesn't everybody?) :rolleyes:

[Ciryaher]

*Ciryaher momentarily believes he is foiled, but then remembers he used Spam Lite from 1972 that had been sitting in the bottom of a septic tank in the Hudson River :D *

[Goldberry344]

goldie grabs a third slice....NEHER, YAY!! Lemon Merangue! :D she says slightly stuffily

[YayGollum]

*notices Ciryaher on the sidelines looking dejected, shrugs, and grabs his sixth pie* "Mm! Blackberry!"

[Goldberry344]

*Goldie grabs a mincemeat pie and munches away* "and we wonder what sam did with gollum...."

[YayGollum]

*gets distracted by the scary Goldberry person talking about Gollum, but grabs another fish pie* "Hm? Don't you be talking about Gollum!"

[Narya]

ooc Yay, I never posted a pie for Goldie, check the postings. :D

Here's a tally of the contest so far:

YAYGOLLUM = 7 pies
GOLDBERRY344 = 4 pies

Time is nearly up, they still have lots of pies to go through. Truor edges out Goldie by 3 pies. Will Goldberry ever catch up to get an even count or will YayGollum win this game hands down???

Please stay tuned for the results...

*TAN-TAN-TAN-TAAAANNN*

[Goldberry344]

ah, people post while yay is gone so that i shall win, mwahahah...wait?? Goldie bites into an ARDVARK pie??? no way. yummm

[YayGollum]

*Truor starts switching pies from his side with the scary Goldberry person's in the hopes that she doesn't have any lembas pies* "Yay! Fish pies!"

[Wonko The Sane]

I would like to wallow in ale, Took fashion if you please.

And if anyone has an ear I'd like to tell you all the tale of Josie, the downtrodden and beautiful maiden of du Lac, and her evil ex-bf Tom, a Bostonian with perfect hair, who broke her heart and made her cry.

[Goldberry344]

Goldie grins as she munches away at an icecream pie, she saw that 2 of the pies truor took were cow pies...

[Wonko The Sane]

*mutters into her cups and begins to work away at her pint. She seems to have a surprisingly high tolerance for her drink*

Fine, nobody wants to hear my story. I'll just nurse this broken heart and nurse this pint at the same time.
Fine.

[Goldberry344]

*through a mouth of keylime pie* "ill hear your story"

[Wonko The Sane]

*brightens a bit*

Ok, so there's this boy. We'll call him Tom because that's not his name.
With me so far?
Good...well, once upon a time...*thinks* Wow, this story is long and complicated...
Synopsis: Poor princess goes away to college, meets boy falls in love. Boy is interested in her. Boy and girl become close. They are a couple but not official...over X-mas break boy makes out with old flame. Girl doesn't find out.
Later, while online old-flame IMs princess and princess says, "I'm Tom's gf" and old-flame gets sad/mad and then old-flame and princess become friends...
And girl still doesn't know Tom quasi-cheated.
Then things are good for about a month at which point a new flame from even further in Tom's past, the love of his life, or so he says, reappears on the scene and wants to try again.
Tom summarily drops princess on her @$$, although he doesn't tell her about his older-flame and his new spark with her...
And then girl finds out inadvertently through a convo of his she reads on the screen.
Girl is devastated but boy says he doesn't want to break up...so girl stays with him...(stupid unrequited love...)
And then eventually girl knows what she must do and breaks up with the boy, setting him free to follow his heart and seek his true desire.
Well then things didn't work out with his older flame, girl realizes that after the older-flame "came back" on the scene that boy just kept her around to make out with.
Girl feels used and hurt.
Then after things don't work out with older flame boy tries to spark up relationship with first flame, X-mas break old flame, even after he had told the poor princess that if things didn't work out with Older-flame that the princess would be the first he'd be interested in having a realtionship again.
Girl realizes she's been played but is confused, because guy is a good guy with good intentions, and didn't do it on purpose (girl could just tell he didn't mean to hurt anybody and that he really wasn't aware of what was going on and didn't think things through) and she is still good friends with him, and even better friends with the first old-flame of X-mas break fame...
And now she feels distant third to these other two...
And she still loves him...
And her heart is broken...

*at this point Arianne bursts into tears and flags the waiter for a shot of citron vodka*

[Goldberry344]

*goldie listens intently while munching on a pecan pie she stole from Truor's tray* "i dont get it."

[elenya]

Awww!! That's horrible! What a bad person!!! If I knew him I'd sure give him a piece of my mind!

*gives Arianne her shots*

They're extra strong.;) You should ask what to do in the Relationship Advice Thread! (http://www.thetolkienforum.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4238&perpage=15&pagenumber=1)

[Goldberry344]

Goldie grabs another slice of pie, this time it's blueberry and goldie succeeds in staining her bib... "I got the idea that it was a bad thing, i just didnt get it"

[Narya]

That is the saddest story I've ever heard. I am not a very good adviser on relationships, but from your side of the story, I can't help but wonder what you see in a guy like that. For me, if he is capable of using someone and hurting someone without even feeling sorry about it means he's not capable of love. Loving someone means you are willing to set them free when you know that holding on to them will only cause them pain. Because love is not about holding on, it's about letting go. That's my humble opinion. Anyway, here's another shot of vodka, it's on me.


Now back to the contest, only a few seconds left in the game and the score is now:

GOLDIE = 9 PIES
YAYGOLLUM = 8 PIES

[Goldberry344]

"AHH!!! too close!" Goldie stuffs a slice of pear pie in her mouth

[YayGollum]

Truor then eats the remaining fourty-two pies. He wins. Yay! <---that was a joke

*Truor really notices that the scary evil Goldberry person is beating him and just starts grabbing pies, barely noticing the two cow pies* "Argh! NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! I must win!"

[Goldberry344]

except for the fact that you can only eat one pie a post, silly yay person!

Goldie gobbels down another lemon mirangue pie...

[YayGollum]

Fine! Argh! I ate one cow pie and now I ate a chocolate creme! didn't taste it though. I'm going too fast. I will win!

[Goldberry344]

Goldie smirks as she shoves a mousse pie into her mouth.

[Wonko The Sane]

Thanks for the shots everyone.

*Downs each shot one after the other with a smart flick of her wrist. She sits still for a few minutes and as her head begins to feel slightly swimmy she relaxes*

And anyway, I don't know what I saw in him. I mean, he's a good guy and a great friend, just a bad boyfriend. And he has a great sense of humor and personality and all that...I dunno. I just don't know.

*downs another shot*

I should just forget about his Bostonliciousness and move on...but I can't.

Anyway, my feet won't let me walk away.

[Ciryaher]

*Ciryaher gets the caber and begins warming up while the pie contest goes on*

[Wonko The Sane]

Ooh, a caber toss!
This should be interesting!

[Goldberry344]

Goldie agrees with Wonko The Sane and chows down on another key lime pie.

[Wonko The Sane]

How many pies is that, Goldie?

[Goldberry344]

*with a mouth full of pecan pie* "im not sure, ask Narya"

[YayGollum]

oh well. maybe I will lose. I think it's fourteen to ten. But I don't have a computer at my house, okay? Argh! *notices all the key lime pies on Goldberry's side and switches a cow pie with it, oh yeah, then I ate the key lime pie*

[Wonko The Sane]

*eats a blueberry cobbler just because all the pie talk is making her hungry.*

[Goldberry344]

while yay is away from the computer and not paying attention, goldie swaps the cow pie for a chocolate mirangue pie and gobbles that down.

[Snaga]

Snaga is still outside looking after the fireworks, and wondering if this evening will ever come to an end. He hasn't seen so much as a naughty hobbit-child to chase away. He yawns... and falls asleep.

To secure her lead, Goldie munches a bananna pie and sits back for a little break.

CABER TOSS RULES:

Ok for the caber toss contest, my rules are as follows:

The caber will be tossed officially with the first post. The caber's distance will originally be 5 feet from the thrower. For every succeeding post that length will be multiplied by 2. HOwever if the post will be 2 or more consecutively, the length is multiplied by:

2 posts = x4
3 posts = x5

and so on and so forth, until the chain is broken by a post from someone which could include the opponent. The final length of the caber tossed will be the first post on the next thread. ex.: This post is on thread no. 4, if the caber post goes to the next which is 5, then all the post by the thrower until that one will be counted and accumulated posts will equal the distance of the caber tossed.

If this sounds ok to our contestants, we will begin the contest.

If there are questions, please post them immediately.

The post for the caber's length should say, CABER TOSS POST # (say the number of the post) OK???


Ok, if that's clear I'll accept questions now , comments and suggestions.

[Snaga]

Snaga wakes up, rubs his eyes, feeling a bit bleary.

'What was that... fireworks?? Caber throwing... er right! Coming right up...'

He grabs a burning stick from the bonfire that he lit outside earlier, and lights a whole load of fireworks. Bangs and whizzes resound, and showers of light sparkle in the sky, as Snaga grabs a cabers... wishing he hadn't been asleep when the rules were explain.

He feels the weight, bends his knees, turns and throws it...

(Thats 5 ft..)

[Snaga]

... and Snaga is pleased to see the throw was good...

(...10 feet...)

[Snaga]

... and it keeps going...

'Wow! I caught that one well!'

(...15 ft...)
