Cheap, durable, and can be decorated to become a fashion accessory!

What's not to like?

'Miruvor' is correct, but when you answer you have to ask a follow-up question, so as to keep me from turning into some sort of Middle-Earthian Alex Trabek.

How about I ask a question I don't know the answer to?

We all know Aragorn's father's name - Aragorn is *repeatedly* called "Aragorn son of Arathorn". But what was his mother's name?

And I may feel really stupid when the question is answered.

Especially after I've had a bit of coffee, which is finally ready.

Ian McKellen's line from the Fellowship film sprang immediately to mind:

"Do not tempt me, Frodo!"

That's a very good question, and one that is covered in Appendix A. The answer is Gilraen.

Here's one back to everyone else: We know that Arwen is Galadriel's granddaughter, but can you name Galadriel's daughter who was Arwen's mother?

And here's one for Rosie: Who was Galadriel's husband?

The two questions are rather related, because the daughter was given a name reminiscent of her father's.

Heh...I was just reading up on Arwen's mother, 'cause I was going to ask YOU. So I know. Kinda cheated without meaning to, but...

Celebrian.

And Celeborn is Galadriel's (rather subdued) husband.

We like to pick on him a bit here....

How about this: what were Arwen's siblings' (brothers') names?

To: no one in particular

Ohfercryinoutloud...

Fact 1: We decided not to do the cruise. We'll save the Marriott points for Disney (or something else)

Fact 2: My neice (son of photographer step-brother) has a travel business. I asked if she could help with Marriott points. She could not, we have to do that directly through Marriott.

Fact 3: I said "okay" we'll just book it on our own (when we were still considering going).

SO....

Now my Mom calls and says neice thinks I'm mad at her because she couldn't help with Marriott points and I'm not booking a cruise with her.

Hopefully, I've now s'plained it well enough that the only way we could afford the cruise this time was by using the Marriott points.

~sigh~

I just can't get a break...maybe I should take a cruise...

I can't really blame you for picking on Celeborn. In the only speaking lines he gets in the book, he bad-mouths Gandalf then gets publicly spanked by his wife. Not hard to tell who wears the pants in that relationship, eh?

How about this: what were Arwen's siblings' (brothers') names?

Elladan and Elrohir, twin sons of Elrond, who never forgot their mother's suffering in the orc pits of Dol Guldur.

Legolas's father, Thranduil, was king of what realm?

Yeah, I could use some too. This morning's "Red Bull" didn't go down all that well.

I just started drinking the stuff. Today it put me in the mind of bitter bubble gum.
