Sam: "Oh yeah, that's the spot, right there, oh yeah, ooooooh yeah, scratch it like there's no tomorrow."

[Aisteru]

Fireworks and magic aside, Gandalf's most fiendish trick was certainly the "wet-willy."

[Firawyn]

Gandalf - "Bad Hobbit! Didn't your mother ever tell you not to run with garden sheers!?"

[HLGStrider]

Good work so far. I figured the Santa like Gandalf and the strangely inbred looking hobbits would spark some interest.

Keep them coming. Want a few more entries before I choose.

[Firawyn]

Ian - "Samwise Gamgee, have you been evesdropping?!"

Sean - "Ian don't pull ear..."

Ian - *pulls ear, as per script*

Sean - *yells* ...I HAVE A EAR ACHE!!!!!!

:D

[Noldor_returned]

Gandalf: ALAKAZAM! What's this behind here, young hobbit? *pulls out coin from behind Sam's ear*

[Firawyn]

Gandalf: "Please, do come in Sam! I need a haircut. Mr. Frodo here says you are the best in the Shire!"

[HLGStrider]

Sam: AAAhhhhh!! That's too far!! Too far!

Gandalf: I still don't understand why you can't use your own Q-tip:rolleyes:

The Prince wins! Give us another picture.

[Prince of Cats]

Thanks HLG :D

What's going on here?

[Turgon]

Loving the new earrings Treebeard!

:D

[HLGStrider]

Ent in back: Oh boy! I love country fried hobbit!
Pippin: Fried Hobbit? Merry, what does he mean? Fried Hobbit?

or

There was an old Ent with a beard
Who said, "It is just as I feared.
Four owls and a hen,
two hobbits and a wren
have all built their nest in my beard."

or

Yeeeha! Time for the ho-down!

[Prince of Cats]

Haha :D They do look ready for a Ho-down!

[Firawyn]

Treebeard:

"Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
It's home from work we go!

*Whistle*

Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho!"

OK everybody; Say Trees.....................




Treeeeees!

*Take note of their mouths*

OOOOOHHHHHH we're off to see the wizard! The wonderful wizard of Oz!

[Noldor_returned]

Pippin: So umm, Treebeard, Obama or McCain? Who are you voting for?

Treebeard: Who votes?

Merry: Not enough people...look who won last time

[Firawyn]

Pippin: So umm, Treebeard, Obama or McCain? Who are you voting for?

Treebeard: Who votes?

Merry: Not enough people...look who won last time

Haha! I like this one.

Although - I must admit I am one of those who doesn't vote. *shrug* It is a matter of principle for me, I guess.

[Prince of Cats]

Points to Illuin for using the term 'hasty' :D

I have to give it to HLGStrider, though, because the ho-down idea makes me crack up laughing while looking at the ent to Treebeard's right :cool: Go for it, Elgee

Thanks everyone for playing! Had a good time picking :)

[HLGStrider]

Thanks, here we go.

[Firawyn]

Dwarf in foreground: "My mighty hammer built this hall!"

Dwarf in background: "No, the computer graphics experts built this hall. Get over it Pinnocio. You are not a real dwarf."

[Gilthoniel]

Whilst inspecting his hammer, Dwarin just couldn't help but feel that no matter how big your graphics card is, it just never looks real.

(Don't judge me on my choice of name..)

[Noldor_returned]

A nice day at the Khazad-fair...

Doug: Yeah! I'm gonna beat you at the Strength tester! You didn't even break the bell! I'll do it one handed!

[Illuin]

You call this eXtreme Croquet? I want a hoop placed up there!!!

[Firawyn]

Hey! Who made the roof magnetic?! MY HAMMER!

[Durin's Bane]

Is it just me or that's a hammer not an axe?

[Gilthoniel]

Ooops!
I blame Firawyn... I read hers, and it brainwashed me!!
Honest..

:rolleyes:

[HLGStrider]

Holding out for a few more entries. Good work so far all.

[Firawyn]

Ooops!
I blame Firawyn... I read hers, and it brainwashed me!!
Honest..

I said hammer...;) Go look. See? It says hammer. :p


One more from me:

"Hey, look at this hammer! I just got it from ebay! It's elm wood with a real nice polish on the handle, orc hide leather on the grip, stainless steel for the hammer itself...I'm thinking of getting a new axe in the stainless steel, you know? But maybe dragon hide for that grip...I like the elm wood..."

[HLGStrider]

You call this eXtreme Croquet? I want a hoop placed up there!!!

Sorry it took me awhile to get back. I declare Illuin the winner. Mainly because eXtreme Croquet makes me think of Calvin Ball.

[Illuin]

Let me know if this is a repeat.

That's Eol the Dark Elf.


Yes, we know that :rolleyes:. This is the Caption contest - one of the silly games we play. We know it's Eöl, but what the heck is he up to? As far as this game goes, just look at the big picture and say something like; Need something? I have ups, downs, crack, smack, ludes; anything you need." Just say something crazy. HLGStrider (the D.A. of this forum) is really good at this :D. Browse through some of her posts and get a feel for the game. It's fun :).

[Burzum]

Ah, I see. And yea, I should read through the thread and get a feel (I'm not exactly good at being humorous).

[Durin's Bane]

"You shall not pass!"

Speak "Shwartz" and enter...

As for me...

Eol:"All the better to hear with, my child."
She-elf:"What big eyes you have!"
Eol:"All the better to see with, my child."
She-elf:"What big teeth you have got!"
Eol:"All the better to eat you up with."

[Illuin]

Well, it’s been two weeks, and there is a tie between two posts, but I can’t make up my mind, so I’m going with Durin’s Bane because he posts so many hilarious pictures in the “Funny Pictures” thread. I’m curious to see what he conjures up.

Durin's Bane - You Shall Not Pass!

You’re up DB.

http://img2.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/animated/anim_64.gif (http://www.mysmiley.net/free-ashamed-smileys.php) That was good.


Man on Left: I think it’s something like; “Live Long And Prosper”… but I just can't seem to…
Man on Right: I know; I can’t do it either.

On Left: You're mimicking me!

Guy on left: Should auld acquaintance be...be....
Guy on right: Forgot!

Man on Left: "Haven’t I been good to you"?

Man on Right: "Haven’t I been sweet to you"?

Both in harmony: "Stop! in the name of love
Before you break my heart -
Stop! in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Think it over"


Such a horrible tune, but I just couldn’t resist :p.

[Illuin]

Actually, according to my lifestyle; this would be more appropriate:

"Stop, children, what's that sound, everybody look what's goin’ down"


Hey; over a hundred Dead shows….what can I say :D?

[HLGStrider]

I want a verdict! Where's Db?

[Firawyn]

Faramir: Could you please just come quietly. All I have for backup is Curly, Larry, and Moe over there and they have an uncanny ability to make me look a fool!

[Noldor_returned]

Faramir: Who are you?

Sam the Minstrel: He is brave Sir Frodo, brave Sir Frodo

Frodo: Quiet!

Faramir: Why are you here?

Sam: Brave Sir Frodo rode forth from Camelot, he was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways. Brave brave brave brave Sir Frodo

Faramir: I won't ask again! Who do you halflings serve??

Hobbit on left: Ooh! Are those oliphants??
Hobbit on the right, enthusiastically: I heard they make a great pie! :D

Frodo: “I do not mean to pry, but you don't by any chance happen to have six fingers on your right hand?”

Faramir: “Do you always begin conversations this way?”

I'll certainly take your word for it. I’ve only been here a few months (even though my post count reflects where I live :p).

[Noldor_returned]

Oh my, sorry everyone...do we want a new pic or are we happy to play again with this one?

[HLGStrider]

I don't have any particular memory of this picture, so myself I'd play on.

I have been playing pretty steadily all this year and have reread most of the old posts. If it has been used it was certainly a long time ago.

And we have a winner!

The nominees for best Actor are...

wait, sorry, wrong envelope :p

Mirelena! Congrats, you win no trophy, only the prestigious prize of best caption for this round :D

[Mirelena]

<Halle Berry-style sobs and tears> Thank you. Thank you so much! I would like to thank the members of the Reniad en Agarwaen thread. You were the greatest group ever and brought me to where I am today. Secondly, I would like to-

What? No speech? Bummer.

Fine. Here's your pic, then. Have fun, y'all!

Gandalf and Frodo Together:


i said s-a-m, g-a-m, a g with a double e
i said he goes by the unforgettable name
of the man they call master Gamgee

well, his name is known all over the world
by all the foxy ladies and the pretty girls
he’s goin down in history
as the baddest gardener there could ever be

[Noldor_returned]

Gandalf: Hockety-pockety-wockety whack! Now Arthur, you must go pull the sword from the stone!

Frodo: Give it up Gandalf, you can never be Merlin

[Mirelena]

Aaaaand, the winner for this round is... Elgee! <3

I really liked her "Frodo-looking-thing" and "Gandalf-looking-thing" respectively. Seriously, that picture weirded me out. Firawyn's caption was a close second in my book. I hate clowns. >_o

[Firawyn]

I've been second best before. I can settle for that. :) Hit us Elgee!

[Mirelena]

Awww, Fir, we love you...!

[Firawyn]

*smiles* Thanks! I try.

All good entries but nothing is jumping out at me. Going to give it another day. Winner announced tomorrow so cram in some last minute attempts.

Hurin: What does the rock say?

Morwen: Loved as sister,
Loved as wife,
They were the same being
Their punishment is loss of life

Hurin: Hmm, wonder what that's about...

Unhappy reunion.


Húrin - My love; take my hand

No such rule has ever been stated. I generally post as many as possible, anyway.

Good job with the captions everyone! Keep 'em coming! I'll let it go for another 24 hours or so from this post. :)
