[quote]Hi, I have a dial-up connection [/quote] I do too. I used Stardock Central and everything went quite quickly even with the dial-up. It is the best way, IMHO, to upgrade and the stand alone patches always lag behind the updates available on SDC.

[quote]The crazy clone probably rode the poor pony into town, then abandoned it![/quote] He must have intercepted the pony somewhere between Moria and Bag End...but where? We may learn much if we can retrace this. Somehow, I feel, there is some connection between this and the stupid Altarians (who were obliterated in one turn last night, hee hee :D )
[quote]Terl, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this around the time the Seeker Master's clone appeared? [/quote] Indeed it was. If I remember correctly it was the man clad in white standing on the corner of Bag End and Thorin Street--the one handing out Leaflets of Light. I will notify the SPCA as there may be co-conspirators.
The Bag End SPCA would like to speak with the owner of a small pony who returned to the Shire in the dead of night six weeks ago. The pony was malnourished and had frostbite injuries. A local spokesman for the SPCA said "Yeah, somebody probably dragged this poor beastie to Carhadras or something, poor thing." Investigators are still not sure of all the troubles the small pony had gone through but one noted, "at least they didn't try taking this little fella through Moria."

[quote]No sign of Mayito7777 yet?[/quote] He's gone on a business trip until Sunday I think.... If you are curious as to all the references to Mayito, check the SF threads....
In the classified section: Wizard for hire. Ex-evil wizard seeks employment. Will perform at birthdays, bar-mitvahs, and company picnics. Excellent pyrotechnic skills. Very good at looking scary, yet somehow I am also disarmingly charming. Call Isengard-65000 and ask for Saruman.
[quote]How does King Theoden of Gondor sound?[/quote] I would stay in Rohan, were I you. The Rohirrim are much cooler.... :)
***********Flash******** King of Gondor Found Dead on Throne! The King of Gondor was found dead today sitting on his throne. The Gondorian medical examiner noted that the King had died of suffocation. Apparently, there is no "air to the throne of Gondor" :)
[quote]Terl: Outstanding story telling![/quote] Thanks. I like writing and especially enjoy a bit of silliness along with it. Mixed genres and such are fun.... And also, congrats on the top 25 :CONGRAT:
After receiving the signed warrants, the task force prepared to enter the inn. Harry, the department's wizard took up a location near the door with the entry force. He chanted lowly and pointed at the door which popped open at the sound of his voice. The entry force stormed inside sweeping the room. A lone figure leapt through the front window and started down the darkened street with Harry quickly following. The thug tripped and fell. He lay sprawled on the pavement when Harry cau
Some background for our readers: The IHL, or International Hobbits League, was formed by a divine revelation from Manwe. The league was originally designed to bring, according to the charter, the game of "cricket for the wee folk". It was a difficult proposition for the Hobbits understood cricket even more poorly than anyone else. The few games they did try to play proved to last longer than even the closest and most well fought games of other cultures, for the Hobbits would have to pause th
They lay in the stilness; still no warrants. Terl and Greldon knew the judicial system was slow but this was rapidly approaching ludicrous. They watched the tavern closely looking for anything that would help them when they gained entry. They heard a commotion in the streets. A group of hobbit teens was coming down the street. They were in a nice V formation and bent slightly at the waist. Every few steps the would leap, snap their fingers and land deftly while shouting "Jets". Gr
It was dark this night and a low ground hugging fog had crept in lending an eerie air to the streets of Hobbiton. The FoTRCTF officers stayed low in their concealed positions outside the Naked Horse tavern in preparation for the raid that would be forthcoming once the proper warrants had been received. Greldon and Terl had gotten word that the IHL and the Took branch of the mob were meeting in the backroom this very night. Agents from ACME (Anti-Crime Middle Earth) were also involved and Terl
[quote]Terl: Were you aware of the IHL's investigation? I don't think the FotRCTF was notified. I consider this to be a severe breach of protocol. I mean .... what if ... aw shucks Andy! Sorry, lost my place there for a minute! [/quote] This is bigger than we thought. The IHL is actually a front for Hobbiton Organized Crime. It is secretly run by Lucky "The Gimp" Took. I think we need to investigate this more closely. It is interesting that they would draw such attention to the very
Hi, my name is Paige Davis and this is Trading Spaces! Today we have two middle earth families ready to trade their spaces with each other for two days. The red team is Sauron and his evil minions, the blue team is Arargorn and the Heirs to Gondor. Sauron is looking for a new master bath while the Gondorians would like a new game room.
AOL Time-Warner filed suit today claiming copyright infringement against Sauron Technologies for using much of their coding for AOL IM service as part of the much touted Palantir. William Slotnik of AOL had this to say, "Sure, they used our code base. Yeah, yeah, they added the whole soul snatching, will bending, parts but we were working on that." Inside sources deep in Mordor had no comment.
"Palantir operator...your number please" "Get me Saruman, now!!" "I'm sorry sir there is no listing for a Mr Saruman." Palantir eight six seven five three oh ni--eee--ine.... [Message Edited] [Message Edited]
[quote]"Barney, I'm surprised at you...you been into Otis' special recipe?"[/quote] "No Andy! I did switch to that new tobbacco stuff from that new store in town, Gamgee's. That can't be it though. Anyway, Andy, I was talking with the FoTRCTF, the state guys, and they said to be on the lookout for an old guy in gray. But this feller was old but he was in white. I think it is the same feller Andy."
