Welcome Valaraukar! I'm always interested to know what those who saw the films first then read the books think. Glad you prefer the books! I do too, and I enjoy the films anyway.

Welcome Warden, slave (silly me, I mean husband) to the lovely Laurelhindhepindhepoo.

Yeah, welcome, ye olde pain in ye old arse!

Only kidding, my sweet(and sometimes sour)...Good to have you here!

Oh, and Amarie, you were close...3/5 of our household belong to PT now-I somehow doubt that our four and two-year-olds are ready for all of us nuts!

Lots of new members for us to devour

Welcome all of you. I hope you all have a great time here. Any questions or problems, just see Amarie and Vee (the Council's own slaves )

Well, you first become a community supporter. That means you pay 1 pound per month to help Taz pay off the bills. You can do that on the "my accounts" page. Then you can load an avatar by going to the Edit Profile page. Real simple eh?


I don't think I'm yet of an age to get wed. Maybe later perhaps!


Okay here is a 2 Euro tip for ye me dear sis!

Welcome to Planet-Tolkien Valaraukar, Warden, and Raensul. Glad to have you in our happy family.

Welcome Glorfindel! Happy New Year!

Well met Glorfindel from Serbia! I hope you have a great time here!

Hello Glorfindel! Welcome to our happy giant family!!!

Hello Glorfindel, nice to have you here, too bad you were left out of the movies.

Hello, I am new here as of today. This is a really cool site! I found it researching for a Modern European History paper (grrr...) Anyway, as you may have guessed from the course title, I am an American. I live in Minnesota and really love both sci-fi and fantasy, but more fantasy. Guess that's all I have to say for now, except HI!

Just wanted to take a moment to properly greet the following newbies it looks like I missed so,

A warm welcome to PT goes out to Valaraukar, Warden, Glorfindel, and Eva lilith! Glad to have you with us!

Welcome to PT!! Nice 2 have another member on da crew. Hope u learn alot from tis web site!!

Hello, I am also a new member, as of yesterday. I am a longtime Tolkien reader and fan (a little over thirty years now I guess), and a collector of vintage Tolkien publications. I read the Hobbit, LOTR and Silmarillion once a year, and have since the mid-seventies. Trivia is what I really love, and have thoroughly enjoyed going back over Grondmaster's questions and absorbing the threads that extend from them. I look forward to the opportunity to share thoughts, research, questions and answers with the many knowledgeable people who frequent this most hospitable hobbit hole. I also hope to like many more of you than I deserve to...

Hello Oloriniwasinmyyouth! Welcome to PT, glad you found your way here!

Welcome to Eva Lilith and Olorinwasinmyyouth. Hope you enjoy our little family here at PT. We are pleasant blend of Tolkien scholars and just plain nutters. I'll let you guess which catagory I place myself in....what the heck, I'm one of the nutters.

P.S. I'm hoping we can just refer to you as Olorin in the future, if thats okay.

Welcome home, oloriniwasinmyyouthinthewestthatisforgotten!(I think that would have been lovely and fun to watch the other members dissect!) I am LaurelindhepindhepoohoodedoointheArizonathatshouldbeforgotten! Pleased to meet you! Have fun here and watch out for THE NEWBIE CANNIBALS!

Okay..... Olorinwasinmyyouth? I think we have another strange person on my site to keep me company!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can we/I just call you Olorin? It's a bit of a mouthful. But you haven't got the longer username I've seen. How about that French guy we haven't seen for a while? I forgot what his username was, BUT IT WAS LOOOOONG!!!!! I prefer short and sweet ones, myself. Easy to remember, and you know what the gaffer said: choose a short name, then you won't need to shroten it later. LONI!!! LONI!!!!! LONI!!! LONI!!!!! How can you shorten that? (Please, don't quote me and say "well, we COULD call you Lo!") LO AND BEHOLD, IT'S LO!!!!

*everyone sighs and tells Olorin not to be afraid, she always does this when new people join*

BUT TO MAKE UP FOR MY NITPICKING....

:elfgrin: WELCOME TO PT, OLORIN!!!! :elfgrin:

Hi, i am new here too!! My name is Virumor and i really dislike PJ's BOTR movies, but i like Star Wargs!!!

A big ty to terrijayne, rhapsody, laurelindhe grondmaster and loni for your warm welcomes. Was it the gaffer that Forrest Gump stole that line from - Hamdsome is as handsome does (through Sam in Bree?) Anyway, thank you loni for going to all that trouble of typing the loooooooooooong dissertation on why my name should be shorter.... and thanks for the warning about newbie cannibalism, although I'm feeling kinda hungry myself...

Laurelindhe, I actually like Arizona - would go back in a second! Have to wonder how Aragorn would do in the desert with brown scorpions and teddy bear cacti and all...

This is a very warm place - I can see why people keep coming back here

We keep the fire burning just in case we feel peckish.

Welcome, Olorin. Do come in... just a bit more.... closer.... nearly there....

Yes, oloriniwasinmyyouth(I refuse to shorten it), the shy ones don't put up as much of a fight!
*Especially watch out for that Vee, she's a tricksy one!

Yup, you might wanna watch your back while you are sitting close to the fire cause you may never know when the great Vee might tip-toe up behine you and then push you into it!
"Firewood", she says!

Read between the lines!

I'm really just a sweet, cuddly, fluffy bunny.



I love newbies.

I do.

Honest.

LMAO... hehehe Mmm when did Vee attempted to roast me? That has been a while ago
