Prancing Pony

[Geo]

Hi everyone, i am a new addition to the EDF :) Hooray....

Saying Hi to the Prancing pony, another novice to the EDF.

You guys don't know what your in for now i've joined the forum.:)) (It's All good)

[Jah Lush]

Welcome aboard. Word of warning though. This Forum is habit forming and can lead to addiction. Have fun though.;-)

[Izodia]

Hello and welcome (although I'm still a newbie myself) :)

[Annasfield]

This topic has made me laugh, I've noticed two (sort of) references to the Lord of the Rings and assumed that this is what it would be about....

The first one - Prancing Pony. That's the name of the Inn in the Fellowship of the Ring.

Habit forming - because I was in LOTR mode, I read that as hobbit forming.

I don't know what I'm on either.... :-S

(Welcome GEO - Watch out for Orcs and Nazgul. :))

Welcome Geo, I'm attempting to be a reformed oldbie with limited success....beware!!

Are they any good though? If so, can I have some?:))

[Annasfield]

I'll see what I can do Jah.

Hmmm, not sure if I like this geek label... ;-)

[mockney piers]

[Annasfield]

And you called me a geek?!

[citizenED]

But he is self-confessed Annasfield. You'll have to prance some to beat his level of geekery

I have a very well thumbed paperback copy of LOTR and a nice hardback version that I have NEVER read.

I also have a copy of the edition of The Hobbit that was read to me at infants school - took ages to find.

Harumph! ...

How about an all-night showing of the LOTR films?? >:D<

With beer..

and pointy hats..

and hairy feet ..

[Moos]

Ooh yes please, but no bloody Elvish singing, please. Anyone else guilty of skipping over those pages?... and pages.... and pages?

and those runes! Couldn't be fagged with those - or all the other books, like The Silmarillion - all a bit too serious for me.

Give me a few dwarves and an ork to beat up and I am happy.

Yes indeed Moos I skipped those songs too. mordor saw it all

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Nerds go ever ever on

[Moos]

Jeez, yes - the Silmarillion. Made Foucault's Pendulum seem light reading.

MP, surely your fantabulous name doesn't need further embellishment - what does it mean, something like Bone Eater? Very cool. But I slightly suspect you of playing Dungeons & Dragons after that orc-fighting comment.

Lovely. I thought Palaeo was something to do with bones, but that's even better.

[RosieH]

am i a total loser in that not only did I read the elvish songs, but I also read (and enjoyed) the Silmarillion?

[Michael Palaeologus]

No, not at all. Perhaps you can explain them to us.

[Jah Lush]

Stone age Michael, you're Palaeolithic.

This from the Tipsy God!! :))

Indeed! Call me Baccus if you like.:)-D
