8. Aragorn swatting Arwen away because she keeps showing up and kissing him at Helm's Deep. (I'm *fine* - Blast it, woman...I'm not hurt! Now get outta the way! No, I do not need more blessing from any Valar - duck!)
7. Gollum's choreographed break dance to go with his fishy song.
6. Frodo tackling Sam and smashing his share of lembas into Sam's face. "If you say you like this Elvish stuff one more time...!"

~They come into Middle Earth saying, "omg! Orli bloom is so hott! what do you think?"
~"Do I need to use Pay pal for my drinks?"
~They come to one of the boards and post IN BIG LETTERS FOR THIER SUBJECT and the message is something like, "Hey, do you know where I can get Premier tickets?(If we did know, I'm sure they would all be bought out by now)....Is it true there isn't going to be a trailer attached to The Twin Towers? (asked 5 weeks after everyone here found out about it)...How come some people post in green, and others post in blue?" (That's just a sample of the questions;-))
10 reasons why it is a good thing Pippin was not the Ring-bearer:
10. Pippin probably would have made the same mistake Little Red Riding Hood did and started picking mushrooms (instead of flowers) along the way.
9. The Quest would have taken years because he would have stopped to tell every Orc he met about his uncle's wife's cousin to the fourth degree.
8. He might have lived to regret risking everything for a pint of ale.
7. He was more concerned about ash in his tomatoes than Ring-Wraiths at Weathertop and about being hungry rather than than lost in Moria.
6. He didn't really fall into the "people of intelligence" catagory anyway.
5. It would have taken more than throwing an apple to ward off Shelob.
4. If he had been packing the Ring through Moria, it would have gone down that well with the Orc helmet.
3. He would have never gotten Gandalf to go with a "Fool of a Took" carrying the Ring.
2. He didn't even know where the mission, quest, or thing was going.
1. I can just hear him saying in ROTK: "Merry, are you sure we're supposed to cast the Ring in the volcano? Now that I think
of it, Gandalf might have said it needed to be taken to one of those wishing wells in Lothlorian."

My Favourite Top Ten Samwise quotes from the book
#10 – “Eavesdropping sir? I don’t follow you, begging your pardon. There ain’t no eaves at Bag End, and that’s a fact.”
#9 – I have something to do before the end, and it lies ahead, not in the Shire. I must see it through sir, if you understand me.”
#8 – “When ever you open your big mouth you put your foot in it the Gaffer used to say to me, and right enough. O dear, O dear!”
#7 – “In the old days hobbits used to go on their travels now and again. Not that many ever came back, and not all that they said was believed: news from Bree, and not sure as Shire talk, as the sayings go.”
#6 – “Don’t let him turn me into anything unnatural!”
#5 – “We’ve got – you’ve got some of the light of it (Silmaril) in that star-glass the lady gave you! Why, to think of it, we’re in the same tale still! It’s going on. Don’t the great tales never end?”
#4 – “It wasn’t a dream!” (After waking in the Field of Cormallen)
#3 – “Well, I’m back” (Very last line, always makes me cry!_
#2 – “Is there a storm coming? If so it’s going to be the worst there ever was.” (What a prophecy!) <
And #1…….
(More of a conversation, but so funny)
“What’s taters, precious, eh, what’s taters?”
“Po – ta – toes. The Gaffer’s delight and rare good ballast for an empty belly. But you won’t find any, so you needn’t look. But be good Smeagol and fetch me those herbs, and I’ll think better of you. What’s more, if you turn over a new leaf, and keep it turned, I’ll cook you some taters one of these days. I will: fried fish and chips served by S. Gamgee. You couldn’t say no to that.”
“Yes, yes we could. Spoiling nice fish, scorching it. Give me fish now, and keep nassty chips!”
“Oh you’re hopeless”, said Sam. “Go to sleep!”
#10 – “Eavesdropping sir? I don’t follow you, begging your pardon. There ain’t no eaves at Bag End, and that’s a fact.”

Ok, I know we do a million of these on the board, but I just wanted to share my favorite and most heartbreaking moments of TTT. (In no particular order)
1. Upon hearing that the Uruks smell “man flesh”, Pippin murmurs “Aragorn” and a ray of hope lights up his face.
2. Gimli, muttering that dwarves are wasted on distance, they are natural sprinters.
3. Theoden weeping over Theodred’s grave
4. Haldir’s awkward return hug and little smile as Aragorn embraces him at Helms Deep.
5. The Ent on fire running into the unleashed river and dipping himself in it.
6. The look of helpless resignation on Frodo’s face as he offers himself up for sacrifice to the ring and the Nazgul who would take it from him.
7. “Its your Sam - Don’t you know your Sam?”
8. The single tear sliding down Grima’s face as he beholds the army of Uruk-Hai.
9. “Forth Eorlingas!”
10. Arwen in despair at Aragorn’s side in death.
11. Legolas flipping onto Gimli’s horse during the Warg attack AND sliding down the wall of Helm’s Deep on a orc shield, shooting all the way. Elves Rule!
12. “There won’t BE a shire, Pippin.”
13. “I’ll have no pointy-ear outscoring me!”
14. “Looks like meat’s back on the menu, boys!!”
15. In the forest, at the end…Frodo’s face when he says ”I want to hear more about Sam; Frodo wouldn’t have gotten far without Sam.” And Sean Astin’s face when he says to himself, “Samwise the Brave.”

10. A brightly colored Hawaiian Shirt for Gandalf.
9. An all expense paid vacation to see the Giant Redwoods for Gimli.
8. A Water Garden for Saruman’s Tower.
7. A year supply of glass cleaner for Galadriel’s Mirror.
6. A Free offer from a Dating Service for Arwen.
5. A Gift Certificate from a Sushi Restaurant for Sam.
4. A Gold Crown for Aragorn (he still doesn’t want to be the King).
3. A Gift Certificate to a Weight Loss Clinic for all the Hobbits.
2. A Toy Bow and Arrows (with the suction cup ends) for Legolas.
1. A Gold Ring for Frodo.
Ok, I know we do a million of these on the board, but I just wanted to share my favorite and most heartbreaking moments of TTT. (In no particular order)
1. Upon hearing that the Uruks smell “man flesh”, Pippin murmurs “Aragorn” and a ray of hope lights up his face.
2. Gimli, muttering that dwarves are wasted on distance, they are natural sprinters.
3. Theoden weeping over Theodred’s grave
4. Haldir’s awkward return hug and little smile as Aragorn embraces him at Helms Deep.
5. The Ent on fire running into the unleashed river and dipping himself in it.
6. The look of helpless resignation on Frodo’s face as he offers himself up for sacrifice to the ring and the Nazgul who would take it from him.
7. “Its your Sam - Don’t you know your Sam?”
8. The single tear sliding down Grima’s face as he beholds the army of Uruk-Hai.
9. “Forth Eorlingas!”
10. Arwen in despair at Aragorn’s side in death.
11. Legolas flipping onto Gimli’s horse during the Warg attack AND sliding down the wall of Helm’s Deep on a orc shield, shooting all the way. Elves Rule!
12. “There won’t BE a shire, Pippin.”
13. “I’ll have no pointy-ear outscoring me!”
14. “Looks like meat’s back on the menu, boys!!”
15. In the forest, at the end…Frodo’s face when he says ”I want to hear more about Sam; Frodo wouldn’t have gotten far without Sam.” And Sean Astin’s face when he says to himself, “Samwise the Brave.”
