Where is everybody? Like, working or something?
Earendil wears it on his brow as he sails his ship across the sky; it's the Morning Star.
Yeah, probably. I'm a lazy grad student and don't have to work real hours.
You're right again, Ms. B.
But you didn't ask a follow-up question.
Er... Who were the second Elf-Man couple in Middle Earth, and what was their child named?
It became the Star of Eärendil, The Morning and Evening Star. I still like "the dog ate my Silmaril" story.
In a meeting. Just keeping one eye out. Been way too long for me to remember any of these anyway.
We keep talking about having a group re-read. I'd be up for such a thing. You do have a copy, right?
Boromir's dream poem from memory...
Seek for the sword that was broken
In Imladris it dwells
There shall be counsels taken
Stronger than Morgul spells
There shall be shown a token
That doom is near at hand
For Isildur's Bane shall waken
And the halfling forth shall stand.
Dang...I just read this...there were three elf-human couples. The first was Beren and Luthien, the third was Aragorn and Arwen. I...cannot...think...of...the second couple!
I'll cede you that one. Here's one that should be equally challenging: Luthien Tinuviel's father was the Sindarin king Elu Thingol. What was particularly special about Luthien's mother?
To answer my own: Tuor and Idris were the parents of Earendil.
To answer yours: Melian was a Maia, the only case we know of where such a being had a child.
To throw one back: name the Valar, and if you can, their associations.
That sounds right... I'm impressed!
I might, if I can find it, what with the move and all that...
No can do chat view this weekend. On Friday night I'm gonna be drinking, eating, and visiting with the Girl Cousins, and on Saturday night will be drinking, eating, and gambling with the Girl Cousins! ;o)
But will there be food and drink?
;-)
I am not equal to that question, although I dimly remember Manwë, Voronwë, and Varda. Was Elbereth another name for Varda?
I am ashamed. =]
Well, if you know enough to answer that one, then you know...
Who slew Azog the orc-chieftan before the very gates of Moria?
No, the kudos go to the whole Hobbit Hole. Everybody helps in one way or another. I just get the fun of playing with the stuff, and the agony of shipping it off. BTW, the post awful has just discontinued the acceptance of the customs "short form" for all APOs and FPOs. Just more paperwork with nothing extra to show for it.
I've already emailed this fine young troop (he must be young, if he used the word "sir"), asking for his APO. One of our remaining CQB3s will then be on its way.
Unfortunately, it's a continual feast!!
Thrain, Thorin Oakenshield's father and the son of Thror.
Who were Frodo's parents?
