I’ve had an idea for a Lord of the Rings game. I haven’t seen any games in the forums, so if it’s not allowed, do let me know and shut me down.
My idea is thus: Take a line from Lord of the Rings (any novelization or theatrical form will do; please specify book and page number if appropriate) and change one word to “pants.” Laughter ensues.
For example: Nobody tosses a dwarf!
Becomes: Nobody pants a dwarf!
Now you try!
Legolas: Shall I describe it for you, or shall I get you pants?
Legolas: He is Aragorn, son of Arathorn; you owe him your pants!
Gimli: Let us go through the pants of Moria.
Aragorn: Pants down, Legolas. (translated from the original Quenya)
Aragorn: Open war is upon us, whether you would pants it or not.
Frodo: I wish the pants had never come to me.
Oh my! This game has been ALL over the web–what a blast. My friends and I got dangerously hooked a while back and did an almost complete “Fellowship of the Pants.” Unbelievable. I think some of my all-time favorites from that were “You’ve been into Farmer Maggot’s PANTS!” and the ever-classic, "There’s one dwarf yet in Moria who still wears PANTS!"
Oh jeez. Here’s another good one:
"Confound it all, Samwise Gamgee, have you been PANTSDROPPING??!!"
"I ain’t been droppin no pants, Mr. Gandalf, Sir!"
Ah, you’re to be a true classic on this board, m’dear! With my favorite character up in only two posts, might I add! ::hands fake!One Ring to Boromir to do with it what he will::
Where are the pants and the wearer?
Where are the shorts that were showing?
They have passed like jeans on the mountain, like capris in the meadow…
The pants have come down in the west, behind the hills, into shadow…
It’s the same joke. Over and over and over. The. Same. Damn. Joke.
So why can’t I stop laughing?
“In pants, in the ground, lived a hobbit. Not nasty, dirty, wet pants, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet dry, sandy, bare pants with nothing in them to sit down on or eat: they were hobbit-pants, and that means comfort.”
