Sorry, folks, I know I’m bumping this from page 3- but this one just came to me!

This one could be accompanied by a rainbow or maybe a pink triangle:  
Frodo and _Sam_, NOT Frodo and _Pam_!

amarith,  
in the south the word yonder is often used to descride location. Ex. “Your cat is over yonder”. It is most often used amoung the older generations thought the younger people will generally know what it means (i am 18 if you need an age reference), especially in a rural area. It is considered a very ‘country’ thing to say. However in the context you saw it in the root comes more from the western part of the counrty, and is used to mean wandering. Louis Lamour used it best to descride his younger days as his yondering days when he traveled around the world and bounced from job to job. (Look in the back of almost any copy of his books to see the short bio with the reference). Hope this had been helpful.  
Thanks- Elishann 🙂

I saw this one on a car the other day, looked it up on the Web, and found that a Wican supply outfit is marketing it on t-shirts and bumper stickers:

“Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are cruncy and good with ketchup.”

I think most of us are aware of what the word means, it was just used incorrectly here. First, it is a quote and the quote uses “wander.” Second, yonder, to my knowledge, is never a verb.

I saw that same tag on a black motorcyle in Maryland, and the rider was in black from head-to-toe. It rocked! 😃

I have that sticker on my locker here at work! Right over my Spongmonkey pictures. My co-workers think I’m weird.

How about, “My hobbit beat up your Nazgul.”
