Okay, so here's a new game: let's try a word association thread, where each person posts a word, either Tolkien-related or not, and the next person says what the first thing to come to their mind is. It does not need to be the definition of the word. Try not to think too hard for an answer-the fun part of this is to see what strange associations we make with certain words at first response.
I'll start: my word is bouncy.
Thread: Word Association Game!
Planet Tolkien is archived and no longer updated, but the forums remain browseable. We have established a Telegram group for old and new visitors to stay connected and discuss all things Tolkien.[1] [2] >>
Bouncy bouncy bouncy - fun fun fun fun! It's Tigger! Did Tigger ever read Lord of the Rings? Was Tigger a closet literary buff? What really went on in that cotton wool head of his?

Pickles!
Pickles!
I have no idea why, but my first response is " ham spread", though I have never eaten ham spread(yuk!)with pickles! See how very strange this can get? Good lord, I'm strange...
next word:chameleon.

Boy George and memories of a birthday party when everyone went wild when Karma Chameleon was played.
Ok next word: spiders

Arrgh....... Mirkwood and Melkor, but when my mind calms down..... Shelob..... and The Lair of Ungolianth...... but if that's not one word, Ungolianth,.... I'll focus on Shelob (often wondered about She- lob..... the female?)
Okay, this game (except for the name, which is better) is a duplicate of Word game; however, the rules to that one also got lost in the move. You might want to click on the above link and play over there, or not.
I'll let you continue here unless another council member desires to lock it.
Ungoliant : Silmarils

Ungoliant : Silmarils
Silmarils: Loni's eleven shinyshiny necklace!
The only differences between the two is that in this one, you do not have to contain your answers to one word and a response can be anything that comes to mind, whether related to the person before's word or not. Plus you do not have to restate the word that the last person mentioned.
I am sorry for starting a game so closely mirroring the other one, of course that was not my intent, I merely wanted to do an online version of an inkblot test, just for the fun of seeing what silly things we all came up with. Perhaps I was not very original...
If it would please the council, I will gladly cease posting in this thread and continue on the Word Game instead. Sorry for the inconvenience!

The games are similar but as Laurelindhe ilmarin says there is a difference in that this one encourages posters to say a bit more about why they associate words which I think is far more interesting. I'd like this one to keep going as it is but anyone who posts a single word answer gets a forfeit or sacrificed to the goddesses. Oh dear, Grondy, was that a single word answer I saw....?
Also this game doesn't take the last answer as the next prompt. Loni didn't post another prompt so I shall do it for her, benevolent but harsh goddess that I am....

"My kingdom for a horse!" And I don't even know whence the line comes. Silly me.

Glue!...Last time I superglued a toy for my daughter, I accidentally glued my hair to it when I was leaning over to see what I was doing-it wasn't very hard to undo, but it did rip some hair out.
You thought that I'd say "Bond-James Bond", didn't you? Well, the only Bond is Sean Connery, for all of you Roger Moore fans, just so you know!
Thank you, Vee and Tommie, for the encouragement!
Alrighty, my word is litter

Not a problem Laurelindhe ilmarin. 
Litter: At first I thought of a cat box, but that lead to a cardboard box containing a litter of cuddly kittens and the happy families who will enjoy them regardless of the need for more litter boxes.
The new word is corrugated.

Alrighty, I think of tin and aluminum for some strange reason-maybe I have lost the reason in my sham of a memory...corrugated metal of some sort rings a bell...
So let's try:pointy

For some reason this brings me back to the good old discussion: do Elves have pointy ears, yes or no? I won't start it again, but I seem to remember it was a rather vivid and long discussion. Same goes for the Balrog with or without wings thing.
Next word: Drive

As far as I'm concerned, chickenpox=death! I unfortunately got them when I was 15, and I d**n near died!

Small makes me think of the last few answers-Hey, Vee, towards the beginning of this thread, wasn't it you who suggested that all who used only one-word answers should fall victim to the almighty V-Goddess? Just wondering...perhaps a curse shall be placed on their heads! (Only kidding! )
