Lord of the Facebook: A Facebook Parody of Lord of the Rings - Part 3

LOTR's The Two Towers, told through the characters' facebook accounts

This is part three of the Lord of the Facebook/The Fellowship of the Facebook Statuses more or less covering The Return of the King. For the first two, see The Two Notifications and The Fellowship of the Friend Request.

There is also a collection of some of the funnier sites collection Facebook Status Update fails, flops and flights at the bottom!

The 'other' Fellowship on Facebook
There's also a facebook application called The Fellowship, which is an RPG game that has (apparently) nothing to do with the Fellowship of the Ring. If that's what you were looking for, great, but stop to have a read before you go?


Warning: I've only edited and updated about half of this last story - after Chapter Six (Chapter Seven: The Song of Fail), it suddenly becomes plain text. As you read that, please thank me for trying to pretty it up, as the imaginary fumes of gratitude are all that's motivating me to continue in the herculean task! (That is also why this lens is under my account still - the previous two parts of the trilogy are under Aotearoan's account.)

Have You Read The First and Second Updates?

Read the Fellowship of the Facebook and the Two Notifications first!

Chapter One: Smoke and Shiny Things

Arwen Evenstar my people are leaving these shores, Aragorn's away...Peace, quiet, mulled wine, and the TV remote all to myself! Perfect. Aragorn! being the one-who-will-be-King isn't nearly as impressive when there's an actual king around. Gimli Sonofgloin is afraid of the wood. Aragorn ... Gimli Sonofgloin well, that was impressive. Aragorn I've never seen an elf laugh so hard he fell off his horse before. Gimli Sonofgloin the fact he hit his head on a tree makes me feel so much better about the world. Aragorn shall we wait for him to wake up, or just keep going? Gimli Sonofgloin better not risk it. He'll catch us up and say something very obvious. Aragorn "You left me!" "I fell off a horse!" "Sauron isn't very nice!" "This forest is old!" LOL Legolas Greenleaf You're teasing me! Gimli Sonofgloin exactly.

Photobucket Awesome Merry knows we should get on with this cool quest thing, but you know, I kind of don't feel motivated...

                       PhotobucketAragorn right, you slack weed-smoking hippies, get your hairy feet
                                          moving or we'll leave you behind!

                       PhotobucketGimli Sonofgloin We didn't come all this way to rescue you to find
                                          you idling and eating...and SMOKING! Where did you get that?


                       PhotobucketPippin Genius Took you want some?
                       PhotobucketAragorn yes.

PhotobucketLegolas Greenleaf will never understand the strange things mortals do... like breathing smoke...

                       PhotobucketAragorn I'm just glad you've stopped screaming and throwing cups of
                                          water into my face.

                       PhotobucketLegolas Greenleaf That was one time. And I thought you were on fire.
                       PhotobucketAragorn Maybe. But why didn't you just throw the liquid, instead of the
                                          whole cup?

                       PhotobucketLegolas Greenleaf  I had to act quickly or you would have had                                        
                                         no face! ...flammable beards... breathing smoke and flames...
                                         it's a stupid combination

PhotobucketPippin Genius Took why don't you try some? It will help you relax.

PhotobucketSaruman my tower! My life's work! My army! I knew this was a bad deal.

 

PhotobucketSméagol Orcs don't taste very nice, do they, precious?


                      PhotobucketGollum No, preciousss. They don't.


PhotobucketSamwise Gamgee hey, anyone in the area want to drop in and give us some more water or lembas? only... we're running a bit low here.

                      PhotobucketSamwise Gamgee couldn't Mr Gandalf ask one of them eagles to drop
                                          us off something to eat?

                      PhotobucketMister Frodo No, Sam. They probably have some important things to
                                          see to. And they'd eat Smeagol by mistake.

                      PhotobucketSamwise Gamgee but the fate-of-the-whole-of-Middle-Earth thing,
                                          doesn't that mean anything?

                      PhotobucketMister Frodo No, the eagles are strictly for deux-ex-machinas. And
                                          there's some mystical geographic/narrative boundary to all
                                          our facebook updates. For some strange reason, we can only
                                          access the facebooks of people we're with at the time. It
                                          creates comic and dramatic tension.

                      PhotobucketSamwise Gamgee sigh.


PhotobucketGollum cute little hobbitses, fatty sharing his food with skinny! Not for long. Soon, we makes them hates one another.

                      PhotobucketSamwise Gamgee Frodo, they're up to something!
                      PhotobucketMister Frodo Oh Sam. You're so paranoid.
                      PhotobucketSamwise Gamgee I've only been paranoid since everyone started
                                          being out to get us.

                      PhotobucketMister Frodo cause and effect, Sam. Cause and effect.

PhotobucketPippin Genius Took ooh, shiny.


                       PhotobucketGandalf give it here!
                       PhotobucketPippin Genius Took but but pretty shiny glowy round thing!
                       PhotobucketAwesome Merry By the Valar, Pippin's taken the ring!
                       PhotobucketAragorn! okay, nobody... nobody panic... Someone, do something!
                       PhotobucketGimli Sonofgloin Not Pippin... he looked so innocent! Do you think
                                          he's murdered Frodo?

                       PhotobucketGandalf Pippin, kill Frodo? Ha! Maybe by accident.
                       PhotobucketLegolas Greenleaf  Pippin killed Frodo by accident? I thought he was
                                          in Mordor!

                       PhotobucketAragorn! Pippin's in Mordor? How did he get there? Did he use the
                                          ring?

                       PhotobucketGimli Sonofgloin Durin's beard, now Sauron will find him for sure.
                       PhotobucketAwesome Merry we're doomed.

                             be in Mordor? Besides, you have me.

                             platonic foot rubs, cook for you, and help carry your pack... you know,
                             platonic things

                      PhotobucketMister Frodo  you don't need to help me with my pack, yours is bigger

PhotobucketPippin Genius Took just one quick look...


PhotobucketPippin Genius Took Wizards sleep with their eyes open, WTF.




Gandalf changed Pippin Genius Took's name to Pippin Foolofa Took

                       PhotobucketPippin Foolofa Took how did you do that?

Pippin Foolofa Took changed his name to Pippin Took

Photobucket Awesome Merry definitely more fitting, Pip.


Photobucket Awesome Merry is sad.


                       PhotobucketPippin Took where am I going?
                       PhotobucketGandalf to Gondor!

                       PhotobucketAragorn did somebody say Gondor?

Awesome Merry gave Pippin Took the "Last of the Longbottom Leaf" using Superpoke


PhotobucketSamwise Gamgee hates heights, hates stairs, and hates high stairs.



                      PhotobucketGollum and hatess being framed for sstealing nasssty lembas?
                      PhotobucketSamwise Gamgee why, you-


PhotobucketMister Frodo hey, who stole the lembas?



                      PhotobucketGollum He did! Fat Hobbit eats lembas in secret! Doesn't even stop to
                          count the calories!

Samwise Gamgee and Mister Frodo are no longer friends.
PhotobucketSamwise Gamgee is very sad. "Don't you leave him," Gandalf said. Well, Gandalf, that would be a sight easier if not for Stinker there and his nasty little lies!

Sméagol sent Sam Gamgee a "Smug Raspberry Noise" using Superpoke
                      PhotobucketSméagol phbbrrrt!
                      PhotobucketSamwise Gamgee how can you do that?? we're not even friends!

Aragorn! created the event THE PATHS OF THE DEAD

Gimli Sonofgloin may be attending THE PATHS OF THE DEAD

Galadriel sent Gandalf an "I told you so" using DestinyPoke


PhotobucketAragorn! will take the Paths of the Dead! It is Destiny!


                       PhotobucketLegolas Greenleaf looks like there's some more of your
                             Destiny! waiting for you outside.

Halbarad, Elladan, Elrohir and Some Random Rangers are attending THE PATHS OF THE DEAD


PhotobucketAragorn! ooh, Arwen sewed me a pretty present! She will make such a wonderful wife.

                       Photobucket Elladan you'd better check it carefully before you gloriously unfurl it...
                             last time Arwen had to sew, the end product was pink, bloodstained,
                             covered in buttons and toast crumbs, and said "a plague on sewing"
                             in neat, ladylike embroidery.

Chapter Three: Size Matters Selectively

I'm afraid that I let Gimli and Legolas get a little carried away in this one. I think it's because they are bored, waiting for battle. They have short attention spans. You know how it is.


PhotobucketLegolas Greenleaf GHOSTBUSTERS


                       PhotobucketGimli Sonofgloin That's not funny.
                       PhotobucketLegolas Greenleaf Wuss.
                       PhotobucketAragorn come on Gimli, are you coming or not?
                       PhotobucketLegolas Greenleaf Nah, I think he's too SCARED
                       PhotobucketGimli Sonofgloin Am not!
                       PhotobucketLegolas Greenleaf Are so!
                       PhotobucketGimli Sonofgloin Excuse me, but this is a cave, and I am not the one
                          who's scared of CAVES

                       PhotobucketLegolas Greenleaf I'm not scared of caves! In Greenwood, we LIVE in
                          caves.

                       PhotobucketGimli Sonofgloin but you're always insisting that they AREN'T caves
                          in Mirkwood. Anything but caves. Airy cellars, you said. Although that's
                          not where my father stayed...

                       PhotobucketLegolas Greenleaf Don't call it Mirkwood! How would you like it if we
                          called your stupid caves something insulting?

                       PhotobucketAragorn Well 'Moria' does mean 'black pit' so I suppose...
                       PhotobucketLegolas Greenleaf take my advice and don't get involved, Aragorn.
                       PhotobucketGimli Sonofgloin Yeah, skinny human, mind your own business.
                       PhotobucketLegolas Greenleaf because it's none of your business that poor little
                          Gimlikins is afraid of GHOSTS

                       PhotobucketAragorn: can we get on? There are ancient oaths to hold people to,
                          ghosts to meet and greet? More important things, is what I'm hinting at.

                       PhotobucketGimli Sonofgloin did you just call me Gimlikins?
                       PhotobucketLegolas Greenleaf Why do you ask, Gimlikins, can't you read?

What happened to Gimli's Father?

...and why does he dislike the elves of Mirkwood?

                       PhotobucketGimli Sonofgloin I hope your tree-hugging relatives have all been
                          eaten by spiders by the time you get back to Mirkwood, Leggy.

                       PhotobucketGimli Sonofgloin Aragorn, he punched me! Aren't you going to tell
                          him off?

                       PhotobucketAragorn No, I don't think I will. You deserved that one.
                       PhotobucketGimli Sonofgloin Oh come on, I was joking about the spiders!
                       PhotobucketLegolas Greenleaf you called me Leggy.
                       PhotobucketAragorn you called him Leggy.
                       PhotobucketGimli Sonofgloin well... I hate you both.

                       PhotobucketLegolas Greenleaf not as much as I hate YOUR FACE
                       PhotobucketAragorn Sweet Valar, you two are infuriating.
                       PhotobucketGandalf think of it as training in how to be diplomatic.
                       PhotobucketAragorn Talking of which... don't kill him! We need him.
                       PhotobucketGimli Sonofgloin Why do we need him? Give me a reason.
                       PhotobucketAragorn No, I'm not falling into this. I have learned by now never
                          to get into any kind of argument, debate, discussion or dispute with
                          either of you on your own, and certainly not the two of you together.

                       PhotobucketGimli Sonofgloin You're just jealous cos you've been dying to beat up
                          Legolas for ages

                       PhotobucketAragorn That's not true! What I said was that I wanted to knock both
                         your heads together.

                       PhotobucketLegolas Greenleaf That's not fair! He's got a helmet on!
                       PhotobucketGimli Sonofgloin Whereas you don't need a helmet, because you
                         haven't got much brain to protect

                       PhotobucketLegolas Greenleaf In that case, that helmet is totally wasted on you.

Éowyn wrote on Aragorn!'s wall: You're so wise and responsible. You make a great babysitter... maybe someday, you'll make a great father ;). I like a man who can look after the kids while I fight glorious battles. Are you free this evening?

Aragorn! wrote on Éowyn's wall: babysit? You insult my friends! They are warriors and- no, it's no good, I can't keep a straight face and write that. To be fair, they're usually fine, but Facebook does tend to bring out that side of people... err... I'm not free this evening, I'm kinda doing Destiny King Stuff, you know. And... errr... what does that arcane rune mean? the one like this ;). And did I mention I have a girlfriend? I have a girlfriend.

Éowyn changed her relationship status to "single"

Éowyn wrote on Aragorn!'s wall: That's OK... it makes no difference to me whether or not you have a girlfriend! I wasn't flirting with you anyway! I was just asking because the Rohirrim are riding out tonight, and I'm going too.

AragornAragorn! even the ghosts obey me! It's so awesome having Ancestors.


Aragorn! took the "Which King are YOU?" quiz.
With your wild looks, habit of singing, and Sense of Destiny, you are one archetypal King. You lost your parents at a young age, and grew up far from your true home in the company of people who you call family, but let's be honest, aren't even the same species as you. A wise old mentor, who uses his old man's staff to kick the bad guys' asses, counsels you to accept your Destiny. After some star gazing and a (vaguely incestual) love interest, you return to your home to rescue it from Dark Forces, in the company of a pair of mismatched companions who provide comic relief. You get rid of the usurper to your throne (who meets a fiery end), get the girl, and take your true place in the great Circle of Life. Congratulations! You are SIMBA from THE LION KING.

Gimli Sonofgroin sent Gimli Sonofgloin a message: Subject: Dear Gimli, Look After Your Axe.
Hello Son,
I hope everything is getting on well with you. Sorry I haven't been in contact. You know how it is. Give my regards to cousin Balin. Hope you are killing lots of orcs with that axe I made you. I am sorry that I sent you on that boring old quest, but I hope at least you are being attacked by innumerable hordes of savage orcs to cheer you down a little. I know you'd rather be at home, watching the exciting developments in the Rock Seams of Mine 23. I have saved some ore samples for you to analyse. Don't let the humans bring you up.
Yours with awkwardly expressed father-son affection,
Gloin.
P.S stay away from that elf!

                       PhotobucketAragorn! what are you saying? The hobbits could have been attacked
                                    by a giant spider?
                       PhotobucketLegolas Greenleaf ha, last time the hobbits got attacked by a
                                     "giant spider",
                                     I rushed to save them and it turned out to be just a baby, hardly as

PhotobucketSamwise Gamgee In Mordor. Had to take the ring. Frodo's dead. :(. Day not going v. well.

PhotobucketSamwise Gamgee It doesn't help that I've been hearing "this quest has been appointed to YOU, Frodo" "If you do not find a way. NO-ONE WILL". "YOU were meant to have the ring" since the start of this bloody quest. No-one said "You're meant to have the ring, Frodo, but if you happen to cark it on the road and Sam here doesn't have any other choice but to take the ring for you, when the only alternative is to leave it behind in some spider's lair in Mordor, then maybe he's got a small shot at success too. My confidence is a little undermined right now!

                       PhotobucketGimli Sonofgloin Uglier than usual, I mean. That orc leading the army looks

PhotobucketSmellagorn I'm the King! Nearly.

                       PhotobucketSmellagorn wait...
Smellagorn changed his name to Aragorn!

Aragorn! wrote on Legolas Greenleaf's wall. You and your bloody elvish hacking skills.

Gimli Sonofgloin commented on Aragorn!'s wallpost: Ain't got nothing on MY "hacking" skills. Hur hur hur.
                       PhotobucketAragorn! what? How does that even make sense?
                       PhotobucketGimli Sonofgloin...because I hack stuff with my axe?
                       Photobucket
Aragorn!  Oh you made a pun! I'm so proud of you. But, just for future
                              reference, the hur hur hur is usually reserved for dodgy sexual innuendo
                              puns, OK? But that was a good first effort.

                       PhotobucketGimli Sonofgloin you mean you humans even have special categories of
                              pun within punning? Wow.

                       PhotobucketLegolas Greenleaf wait, I think I've got one... can you- HACK- it?
                       PhotobucketAragorn!  another thing (and I hate to be so picky when you're both so new
                              at this) but puns should ideally relate somehow to the conversation. And puns
                              don't need to be capitalised.

                       PhotobucketGimli Sonofgloin ha, I get it! PICK-y!
                       Photobucket
Aragorn!  *Sigh*

Aragorn! changed his name to Smellagorn Mortalbreath

PhotobucketSamwise Gamgee is really sad. :(



                      PhotobucketFrodo Baggins never mind, Sam. We can get you some more pots and pans                               when we get back.

Frodo Baggins changed his name to Frood Baggins


PhotobucketFrood Baggins I still know where my towel is.

Chapter Eleven: The Mouthwash of Sauron

Elrond, Galadriel and Gandalf joined the group Really Cool People who Wear Awesome Rings United Against Sauron who is Making Us All Look Bad.
                       PhotobucketLegolas Greenleaf Lothlorien: magical protective ring. Imladris: magical protective ring. Mirkwood: spiders and sorcerers and battles and dragons and dwarves traipsing through all the bloody time, and holding off the forces of darkness before tea. Sometimes I know exactly how Boromir felt...

Boromir Ofgondor: Thank you! Exactly!

                       PhotobucketGimli Sonofgloin Excuse me; did you just compare Dwarves to the forces of darkness?
                       PhotobucketLegolas Greenleaf yes. And...?

Why Don't you Marry a Nice Elvish Boy, Instead? changed his name to Aragorn!

  GandalfGandalf that's funny... I can hear the sound of hundreds of little feet, following our army...


  PhotobucketAragorn! Oh yeah, I'm totally leading an army, woo! If I win, everyone will love me even more than they already do. If I lose, no-one will blame me because this war's unwinnable anyway.

                       PhotobucketGimli Sonofgloin If you lose, we are all going to die. Screw my previously gung-ho attitude to battles, I want to live!

                       PhotobucketAragorn! Oh stop whining, Grumpy.
                       PhotobucketGimli Sonofgloin Aragorn, if you die, you won't be the king.
                       PhotobucketAragorn! Oh, come on! I can't die- I'm going to be the king!
                       PhotobucketGimli Sonofgloin Wait, did you just call me Grumpy?
                       PhotobucketAragorn! Yes, you're always Grumpy, except when you're Dopey.
                       PhotobucketLegolas Greenleaf and when he's talking to Galadriel, he's Bashful
                       PhotobucketGimli Sonofgloin I'm about to Bashful someone in the face.

Legolas Greenleaf added *nancing* to his interests

The Mouth of Sauron: likes to crush peoples' hopes. Mwahaha!

Gimli Sonofgloin wrote on Aragorn!'s wall: Man, the Mouth guy has even worse breath than you do. He needs the Mouthwash of Sauron.
                       PhotobucketAragorn! what's Mouthwash?

Aragorn!: Why will nobody tell me what Mouthwash is??!!?

Legolas Greenleaf: the Mouth of Sauron is not a very nice person!

  PhotobucketÉomer yes, Eowyn had to stay home in bed. Win!

Eomer: Although I'm not entirely happy about why she was suddenly so keen to stay in bed. Must resist the urge to punch him on the nose when we get back. That wouldn't be very kingly.

Eowyn added "another kind of swordplay" to her interests.

Faramir: is loving how bouncy the beds in the Houses of Healing are. And pondering the fate of Middle Earth, of course.

Eowyn wrote on Faramir's wall: Hey, how about I teach you how to ride the Rohirrim way...

Faramir: sounds good!

Sam Gamgee: I can't carry It for you, Frodo... but I can carry you!

Frodo Baggins: OK.

Sam Gamgee: OK? err.... well... er.... OK, then. I guess I can give it a shot.

Gandalf: A wooden chest on hundreds of little legs! what new treachery of Sauron is this?

                       PhotobucketAragorn! it's accelerating towards the Mouth of Sauron...

The Mouth of Sauron: how come everyone's stopped paying attention to me? I've practised this speech! ... what are they all looking at?
                       PhotobucketGandalf ouch.
Eomer: and right in the middle of parlay.
                       Photobucket
Sam Gamgee: I can't carry It for you, Frodo... but I can carry you!

Frodo Baggins: OK.

Sam Gamgee: OK? err.... well... er.... OK, then. I guess I can give it a shot.

Gandalf: A wooden chest on hundreds of little legs! what new treachery of Sauron is this?

                       PhotobucketAragorn! it's accelerating towards the Mouth of Sauron...

The Mouth of Sauron: how come everyone's stopped paying attention to me? I've practised this speech! ... what are they all looking at?
                       PhotobucketGandalf ouch.
Eomer: and right in the middle of parlay.
                       PhotobucketAragorn! I was going to do that. I was. That damn box on legs, it stole my idea.
                       PhotobucketGandalf I don't believe you. You're not the sort of low, cheating backstabber who'd kill someone during parlay!

                       PhotobucketAragorn! I totally am! I mean... yeah. Joking.

Pippin Took: Great. All I'm allowed to do is sit on this bloody horse under bloody Gandalf's nose. I won't be able to do anything cool. I wanted to attack the Mouth, but noooo, Gandalf has to be a big old spoilsport. I hope he gets squashed by a troll.

Chapter Twelve: It's Complicated

Gandalf: In some strange reversal of logic, the Mouth has been eaten. By a wooden box on legs, no less. Hmmm.
Aragorn!: for Frodo! Gimli Sonofgloin: And maybe, just slightly, to impress Arwen, eh, Aragorn? Aragorn!: And slightly, just maybe, to impress Galadriel. Legolas Greenleaf: Oh wow, Gimli has a crush on Aragorn's girlfriend's granny. Gimli Sonofgloin: ... Legolas Greenleaf: so Gimli would be Aragorn's step-grandfather in law. That's a situation worthy of an "it's complicated" if I ever saw one. Gimli Sonofgloin: immortality must have its fallbacks as well as its benefits. Legolas Greenleaf; Yeah, it really does. Aragorn!: like chatting up your great aunt. Legolas Greenleaf: Aragorn! You promised me! And now I will have to kill you. Gimli Sonofgloin: Run, lad. I think he means it. I've never seen his eyes glint so dangerously... Aragorn!: noooo! Attack the armies of Mordor first, then me! Don't let this rage go to waste! Legolas Greenleaf: I hate you so much. Gimli Sonofgloin: well, Aragorn's in love with his adopted sister... and that's kinda inc- Aragorn!: -incapable of being understood by your small mind? That's what you were going to say, right?

Arwen took the quiz "What should you have for dinner?" Arwen's result: Toast.
You should have toast for dinner. You like the home comforts, and you can eat toast curled up in front of the fire with a good book. Let other people eat hard tack or hunt spiders for their meal. You don't need to stoop to that level of uncivilised survival.
*Take this quiz*

Awesome Merry: non-canon = Merry attacking orcs in front of the Black Gate!

Pippin Took: but verily, Merry, are you attacking them merrily?

Awesome Merry: Shut up, Pip.

Pippin Took: Verily.


Pippin Took: Curse those people with the longer legs! We would have been first!

Arwen Evenstar took the quiz "what is Your Deepest Fear?" Arwen Evenstar's result: Your Deepest Fear is that you are unnecessary to the plot!
Somewhere deep inside you have a nagging feeling that you are, in fact, unnecessary. Everyone else is off doing something important, while you sit at home and do, well, not a lot. Well, don't worry, you are important in your own way! It's hardly your fault if everyone you know is bloody stupid. They just have their priorities all wrong! Who'd want to go traipsing off all over Middle Earth when they can hang around you and bask in your radiance? Out there it is dirty, smelly, and lacking in tasteful furniture to drape oneself over. Anyway, you ARE doing important things! Being in love is an activity! You've already made your choice, yes, but now you have to look pretty and wistful! Everyone else may be Driving out Darkness, but you are Suffering.

Arwen Evenstar: Screw that. I totally changed a light bulb just now. Let it not be said that Arwen Evenstar did not do her bit to drive out the darkness!

Legolas Greenleaf: I really hate fighting orcs.

Gimli Sonofgloin: What?!?

Aragorn!: WHAT? you hate fighting orcs, really?

Legolas Greenleaf: Of course I do. It's distasteful.

Gimli Sonofgloin: And I suppose you'd rather be nancing through the forest, holding eloquent conversations with the trees? I thought you liked killing orcs!

Legolas Greenleaf: No, I hate killing orcs. I only like killing more orcs than you. It's a specific level of killing orcs.

Aragorn!: well, you picked a hell of a time to tell us.


Arwen Evenstar took the quiz "Do I have too much spare time on my hands?" Arwen's result: Yes.
Yes. Yes, you do.
*Take this quiz*

Saruman: meanwhile, the character everyone has forgotten about sneaks off back to the Shire. Mwahaha!

Sam Gamgee wrote on Frodo Baggins' wall: do you remember the taste of strawberries, Frodo?*

Frodo Baggins: No, Sam, and nor do I want to. I'm allergic to strawberries. Don't you remember that strange rash? How insensitive to bring that up. Especially at a time like this.

Sam Gamgee: Sorry, Mr Frodo. It was only a small rash.

Frodo Baggins: I have enough on my plate, thank you. What with the ring, the
volcano...

Gollum: the sudden attack by usss...

Frodo Baggins: aaaargh!

Chapter Thirteen: Trolling

I don't own Tolkien's work (I doubt he'd appprove of Facebook) nor any of the talented people whose work I rip off...

Sam Gamgee: wishes I'd saved a frying pan or two to clout that nasty Gollum with. I really should have seen this attack coming...

Gimli Sonofgloin: Ha, fifty-eight! What are you on, three? Never thought I'd die fighting side by side with a loser.

Legolas Greenleaf: how about fighting side by side with your mum?

Aragorn!: the deep inter-species friendship you have forged inspires me, it truly does, now watch out for that orc!

Pippin Took: trying to concentrate on the battle, but worrying about Frodo and Sam, also missing elevenses.

Awesome Merry: curses, Pip, you've made me think of those crumpets with the blueberry jam we used to have for elevenses back in the Shire

Pippin Took: No, Merry, the scones are definitely what I miss the most. Clotted cream and a nice cup of tea...

Awesome Merry: mushrooms fried in herb butter and potatoes done just right

Legolas Greenleaf: er, hello? Hobbits, meet reality. Reality looks like orcs attacking, not a menu. Unless you're on the orcs' menu...

Gimli Sonofgloin: I'll have you know that if either of you dies now, after all the hard work Legolas and I have put into keeping you safe, I shall be very pissed off. Not to mention we shall lose a bet.

Awesome Merry: it's OK, Gimli. Everytime I need to update my status, I duck behind this massive Rohirrim warrior and do it. Then I duck out again and chop at orcs' knees. The system hasn't failed me yet.

Pippin Took: a bet with who?

Boromir Ofgondor: Talking of wasted effort, I will make your after-life not worth living if you die now and waste my totally noble sacrifice.

Pippin Took: A bet with who?


Frodo Baggins: running up the mountain! Sudden burst of strength ftw.

Awesome Merry: is hungry.

Sam Gamgee: showing mercy is all well and good to let everyone know you're a Good Character, but really, after the sixth or seventh treacherous attack, you'd think *someone* would grow a brain.

Pippin Took: the eagles are coming! Only about a year too late.

Gandalf: it gets less impressive each time I see them do this.

Awesome Merry: Noooo! Pippin! Don't be squashed by a troll, Pippin! :(

Awesome Merry: And I had to be here to see it and be all traumatised. :(

Aragorn!: And now I'm getting squashed by a troll! This place is more full of trolls than an internet forum.

Awesome Merry: something about this doesn't seem right... why are you BOTH getting crushed by trolls? Is it a two-for-the-price of one special?


Awesome Merry, Aragorn! and Pippin Took joined the cause "End Selective Canon Loyalty Now!"

Éomer: is it just me, or was it a stupid idea to hang around here to get surrounded by Mordor's army? Also, Aragorn's speech was kind of lame.

Gandalf: is hoping that Frodo didn't take that thing about pitying Gollum too seriously...

Frodo Baggins: is standing over the fiery lava of Mount Doom. After all that build up, no matter how dramatic these next few moments are, they're still going to be a let down-

Sam Gamgee: destroy it! DESTROY IT! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

Frodo Baggins: -not least because I've just decided I'm keeping the ring.

Sam Gamgee: Oh, bugger.

Gollum: mussst save the preciousss!

Sméagol: Sméagol agrees.


Sauron: hmmm. Maybe I should have set guards on the entrance to Orodruin, and not left that handy walkway there.. . but no, nobody would think of destroying it. That would be inconceivable!

Legolas Greenleaf: ninety-seven!

Gimli Sonofgloin: Oh shut up, Elf Face. Some of us have more important things on our minds.

Legolas Greenleaf: I translate that as "I am losing, oh wise Legolas".


Arwen Evenstar: maybe I'll just visit the library

Aragorn!: Help your future king is getting minced you bastards don't back away someone help or i'll be no more than royal troll toejam help-

Legolas Greenleaf: I'm trying! I'm swishing my hair around all over the place, with a really intense expression!


Awesome Merry: :(

Sam Gamgee:wow. That must suck. He finally gets his slimy little hands on the ring and plop, straight into the volcano.

Sauron: inconceivable!

Chapter Fourteen: Hugs for Everyone!

I am afraid this one is more comments than statuses. The characters all kind of ran away on me with this one. I think it is because my mind is frazzled because the computer ate four hours of my work today. *excuses excuses*

Gandalf: wow&hellip; the box on legs, it's herding the orcs into those handy crevasses that just opened up out of nowhere.

Aragorn!: waste of good food in my opinion. My subjects could have eaten those orcs for weeks.

Aragorn!: Before you judge me, my subjects have been in siege situation and most of the farmland and food stores that my subjects survived on have probably been destroyed. I am thinking of the practicalities for my subjects' survival, people! That's what a king does! My subjects depend on me!

Legolas Greenleaf: Your subjects like to be arbitrarily mentioned in every sentence, to ensure that the whole of Middle Earth knows you're king!

Gimli Sonofgloin: Well, technically, you're not the king yet.

Aragorn!: You mean, "you're not the king yet, your Majesty".

Gimli Sonofgloin: No. No, I don't.

Aragorn!: well, you can just treat me with due respect or else- wait- oh no! What's this? It's the SONG OF FAIL! DERN DERn DErn Dern dern.

Gimli Sonofgloin: if you sing the song of fail and offend the Dwarves, you will start a major international incident!

Aragorn!: How can I spark a major international incident if I'm not even king yet?

Gimli Sonofgloin: Haha!

Awesome Merry: When you've all quite finished discussing these things of tiny importance, Pippin is still crushed under a tonne of troll, and Frodo and Sam are being covered in molten lava! GET A BLOODY MOVE ON.

Aragorn!: Or what? *smirks* You'll bite us in the knee?

Aragorn!: OUCH! Ok, ok, I'm moving!


Gandalf: Don't worry, Merry. I'll take the Eagles for Frodo and Sam and the rest of you can find Pippin. And I am impressed that my passing comment about Orcs became a conversation about the nature of royalty via food distribution that ended in Aragorn being bitten in the knee by an enraged Brandybuck.

Frodo Baggins: I am sitting on an erupting volcano, while giant eagles- one of which has a wizard riding it- fly out of the sky to rescue me. And my gardener. What's wrong with this picture?

Sam Gamgee: I know! Gandalf's hat- how on Middle Earth is it staying on?

Frodo Baggins: Gandalf? Isn't he dead? Nosy old git, he was... maybe it's a good thing; we could never have got him to retire otherwise.

Frodo Baggins: This is ridiculous. I really want to go home.

Pippin Took: Yay! I didn't think I was going to survive being squashed by that troll, yet here I am! Thanks Gimli! Gimli's so nice, he spent hours searching for me when everyone thought I'd died. He must really care about me :)

Aragorn!: wait, you survived?... crap, now I owe Gimli and Legolas a beer each. I mean... good. Good. Yay! You survived!

Aragorn!: I'm actually happy about this.

Gimli Sonofgloin: haha! Beer! Sooo worth the hours spent looking.

Pippin Took: beer? THAT'S why you looked for me? I thought... I thought you were my friend :(

Gimli Sonofgloin: Are you kidding? beer is nice, but we've spent the last year keeping you safe from things. I would feel extremely hurt if you had the ingratitude to get offed in the final battle.

Legolas Greenleaf: It would have been most inconsiderate.

Boromir Ofgondor: Not to mention strangely haunting

Pippin Took: can you haunt people in the afterlife? It doesn't make sense?

Boromir Ofgondor: probably. I mean, I'm haunting my facebook account, and that's hardly traditional, is it? More useful than haunting a building though- you can still talk to your friends and I'm getting really good at Arda Farms.


Pippin Took:&hellip; er&hellip; well, anyway. Thanks Gimli.

Gimli Sonofgloin: Merry would have helped me look, but he had a sudden attack of Canon. He's recovering in the houses of healing.

Aragorn! is now engaged to Arwen Evenstar.

Pippin Took: Aragorn and his adopted sister, K.I.S.S.I.N.G&hellip;

Aragorn! Shut up, Pip&hellip; didn't you hook up with one of your relatives at Bilbo's going away party?

Awesome Merry: To be fair, in the Shire, it's hard not to.

Pippin Took: Strider! You are stalking me! That happened ages before we were friends on facebook.

Aragorn! No, I just&hellip; I was just curious&hellip;

Pippin Took: Stalky stalky stalker!

Legolas Greenleaf wrote on Arwen's wall. Is it true you're staying? For *Elessar? Why? *Haven't you *smelt* him?

Arwen Evenstar: I was totally going to go to the Grey Havens, but sometimes parents nag so much you just want to do the opposite to spite them. Plus, ain't no way that blonde Eowitch is getting her unhygienic warrior's hands on *my* mortal. I don't trust her to be satisfied with that Faramir for long.

Legolas Greenleaf: I know what you mean. I'm only doing this quest thing cos Ada wanted me to go to law school. "I don't want you to die" blah blah blah. I couldn't care less about Middle Earth. Parents can be so embarrassing... do you know he tried to join *Myspace* last week? That's sooo second age.

Arwen Evenstar: Ha, was it as embarrassing as the time Thranduil got roaring drunk and declared war on Rivendell last year?

Legolas Greenleaf: hey, we would have won!

Arwen Evenstar: I doubt that. Your father can be scary, but he doesn't have the Power of the Eyebrows.

Gimli Sonofgloin sent a message to Gloin Sonofgroin:
Hi Dad,
Thanks for your email. Sorry it took me so long to reply, you know what it's like. I find staying in touch awkward and I don't know how to write letters. I'd rather catch up over a beer and another beer and an epic song about gold and then some chips. I have been looking after my axe. Miss the mines. Saw some pretty sparkly caves, stupid humans don't know what a treasure they have there at Aglarond. Trying to educate the tall people in Dwarvish mannerisms. Aragorn's showing some promise, but Legolas is hopeless (he's the elf you warned me to be careful of, remember?).
Aragorn's beard growing out a bit, but I feel I have failed with Legolas as his face is still pathetically bare. Feel quite sorry for him, actually. Fancy not being able to grow anything on your face. His chin must feel lonely and cold. Neither of them has been able to swear in Dwarvish yet, but then, Dwarvish is a secret language anyway and I have refused to teach them. Well, Aragorn can a bit, but his accent is terrible. Had to talk to the elf a bit - we're kind of questing together, so it's hard not to. But he's OK and hasn't done any of the things you told me elves did, to terrify me when I was small. He hasn't chopped my beard off and eaten it, and he looked quite disgusted when I mentioned the possibility to him. He hates me because I killed more Orcs than him and then I drunk him under the table.
Nothing interesting has been happening here, no mining, no discussions about ore, but at least Gondor has some good rock. We had an epic battle and Frodo destroyed the ring, which is quite good. The one ring&hellip; now, that was a waste of good gold, if ever there was. I call that disrespectful, pouring the powers of evil into a nice piece of metalwork. Quite proud of Frodo, now if he could just grow a beard...
Sonly affectionate greeting,
Gimli.
PS please video Back to the Future for me. I heard it's on TV

Aragorn!: we did it!

Legolas Greenleaf:  Yay Frodo and Sam!

Gimli Sonofgloin: yes!

Awesome Merry: Awesome!


Pippin Took: HUGS FOR EVERYONE! :D

Chapter Fifteen: Aragorn is Culturally Sensitive

Frodo Baggins: It's gone!
Everyone likes this.

Merry Brandybuck: Yay!

Gandalf: OK, let's hit the pub, guys! I think we deserve it.
Aragorn!, Boromir ofgondor;Frodo Baggins;Gimli Sonofgloin; Merry Brandybuck; Legolas Greenleaf Pippin Took and Sam Gamgee like this.
Aragorn!: oh Eru, I don't know whose idea of a traditional stag night is worse- elves, dwarves, maia or hobbits. My aching head.
Sam Gamgee: I don't think you should have insisted on being so culturally sensitive
Aragorn!: I have now learned there is such a thing as too much cultural sensitivity
Pippin Took: trying out all our stag night customs in one night was a bit ambitious
Merry Brandybuck: I don't think he expected us hobbits to have a tradition each
Frodo Baggins: well, he should have done. We hobbits come from very ancient families, with their own customs
Legolas Greenleaf:Yes, some of what you tiny mortals are capable of took me by surprise.
Gandalf: hobbits really are amazing creatures.
Gimli Sonofgloin: Hey Aragorn! You want to know the worst stag night tradition? Well, you had the Brandybuck's pre-wedding drunken boat race, the Gamgee's custom of intoxicated potato peeling, the Baggins' carefully choreographed dance routine, the Took's jumping off things, shouting, singing and throwing the peeled potatoes tradition, the Mirkwood tree-climbing-while-outdrinking-a-squirrel, or even Gandalf's staff tricks&hellip;
Aragorn!: I don't remember half of that&hellip;I guess it explains the fact I woke up soaking wet, with a peeled thumb and a squirrel bite on my ear and a sore... er&hellip; staff.
Gimli Sonofgloin: well, even worse than all of those, is the Dwarvish custom of carefully recording all of the groom-to-be's antics, and giving them to the bride to view at her pleasure. And posting the photos on facebook.
Aragorn!: oh, Eru&hellip;
Gimli Sonofgloin: lovely shot of you making out with Pip.
Aragorn! Oh Eru, she will kill me with her pointy elf sword. I told Peter Jackson not to give her any weapons.
Pippin Took: Yuk! I swear I felt tongue. Kissing you is like being attacked by angry facial hair.
Merry Brandybuck: or kissing a Wookiee.
Boromir: I felt quite left out. All I could drink was spirits.

Gimli Sonofgloin posted the album 'Aragorn's stag night!' on Facebook.

Gimli Sonofgloin tagged Aragorn! in three hundred and seventeen photos.

Pippin Took: very long, very boring ceremony behind very tall Gondorians. What exactly is going on?
Merry Brandybuck:They're crowning Aragon, Pip.
Pippin Took: What? Crowning him? Why?
Merry Brandybuck: He's the king of Gondor, stupid. And this is Gondor.
Pippin Took: wait, what? Strider is the king of this place?
Frodo Baggins: as of about two seconds ago, yes. That's why everyone's been talking about the return of the king.
Pippin Took: I thought the king was that setting-things-on-fire man?
Sam Gamgee: That was the steward of Gondor, I think. He just kept the throne warm, in a manner of speaking.
Pippin Took: Why does no-one ever tell me anything? :(

Aragorn! and Arwen Evenstar changed their relationship to married.
Elrond: this is why facebook needs a dislike button :(

Legolas Greenleaf: now they seem to be kissing. How could you bring yourself to kiss Aragorn? Most unnatural.
Pippin Took: Legolas, I think I speak on behalf of all hobbits when I ask you please, as a freakishly tall being, to keep us all informed of what on Middle Earth is going on?
Legolas Greenleaf: Ha ha, you short people. Ok, Aragorn just kissed Arwen far too enthusiastically. The crowd feels sick. Even Arwen looks faintly disgusted. She's wiping her mouth on her sleeve. They've just got married, I think. Elrond looks pissed off. Aragorn is king, finally&hellip; People are cheering half-heartedly. Now they're making a dash for the free food. They look much more cheerful. Aragorn has called them all back. They had to obey him. He's going to gloat terribly.

Aragorn!: is the king!
Gondorian 1: Well, I didn't vote for you.
Aragorn!: If you start with stupid quotes, I will throw my throne at you!
Gondorian 1: Help, I'm being oppressed!
Aragorn!: ... I walked right into that one, didn't I.

Aragorn! Changed his name to King! Aragorn!

Sam Gamgee: Why is everyone bowing at us?
Frodo Baggins: maybe because we saved the world? Or maybe they're just trying to bend down and give us a better look at the coronation?
Merry Brandybuck:that must be it. Nice of them to realise we're short.

King! Aragorn!: KING KING KING AND I GET THE HOT CHICKS OOOOH YEAH
Arwen Evenstar: *Ahem*
King! Aragorn!: I mean the hot chick, singular, ooh yeah.
Arwen Evenstar: I know I've just given up my immortality, but somehow it feels like my life with you is stretching into eternity anyway. Sigh.
King! Aragorn! Cos that's the power of LURVE

Gimli Sonofgloin: Man, human weddings are boring. Not enough beer or gold.
King! Aragorn!: DERN DERn DErn Dern dern.
Gimli Sonofgloin: YOU HAVE JUST STARTED A MAJOR INTERNATIONAL INCIDENT.

Pippin Took: Goodbye, Gondor! Hugs for everyone!
King! Aragorn! Manly hugs for everyone!

Gimli Sonofgloin and Legolas Greenleaf are attending 'Terrifying Journey into the Scary Green Darkness of Fangorn Forest, where they Probably eat Dwarves."
Legolas Greenleaf:%u2026 could you rename the event, please? I was thinking more along the lines of 'Wow! Trees! Awesome!'

Chapter Sixteen: The Scouring of the Shower

King! Aragorn!: I'm gonna be a mighty king, so enemies beware!
Gimli Sonofgloin: I've never seen a King with such pathetic facial hair

Frodo Baggins wrote on King! Aragorn!'s wall: I think it's time that you and I arranged a heart-to-heart
King! Aragorn!: Kings don't need advice from little hobbits for a start
Frodo Baggins: If this is where the monarchy is heading, count me out! Out of Gondor, out of Middle Earth, I wouldn't hang about.
Merry Brandybuck: well, that was quite an adventure.

Sam Gamgee: I hope my potatoes are OK... can't wait to go home and check on them
Frodo Baggins: we're all keen to go home
Pippin Took: I'm not. I met someone here that I rather like.
Merry Brandybuck: WTF, Pip? I didn't know you had any relations here&hellip;
Pippin Took: you will pay for that comment, you Brandybuck.

Pippin Took changed his relationship status to it's complicated
Merry Brandybuck: Well, it would be rather complicated if you met someone here... they'd be twice your height!
Pippin Took: Try to keep your jealousy under control, cousin. In fact, this fine lady is a mere foot and a half taller than me
Sam Gamgee: Please tell me you are joking.
Pippin Took: It is a quite reasonable height difference, easily traversed. I just stand on something and the problem is solved.
Merry Brandybuck: You stand on something?
Pippin Took: Legolas found me a box.
Frodo Baggins: as long as you never have children... I don't think Middle Earth is ready for three-quarterlings.

Legolas Greenleaf: this city needs more trees
Sam Gamgee: I agree. And more plants in general. And more potatoes.
Gimli Sonofgloin: elves like trees in the same way Australians like sheep...
Legolas Greenleaf: what's an Australian? Was that an insult?
Gimli Sonofgloin: I... I don't know... I don't know what came over me just then. It felt like someone was writing through me.
Pippin Took changed his relationship status to "in a relationship"
Pippin Took changed his relationship status to "single"
Merry Brandybuck: aw, never mind Pip. You'll be very popular back in the Shire!
Pippin Took: She- she said I was cute! I'm not cute... I thought I was fierce!

Gimli Sonofgloin: Is regretting a rather hasty deal he made with That Elf. Anyone know how to defend yourself from an angry tree?
King! Aragorn!: Alas, that is a branch of warfare unknown to me.
King! Aragorn!: ...
King! Aragorn!: BRANCH of warfare?
Legolas Greenleaf: We got it, Aragorn. It just wasn't funny. Gimli, you need to man up.
Gimli Sonofgloin: Man? Up? That expression is both specieist and heightist!

The Fellowship of the Ring is attending Last Goodbye/ Yet Another Excuse for Mad Drinking up at Aragorn's place!
Arwen: oh for Eru's sake, how many of these have you had? And every one of them ends with someone passed out on the roof, and someone else throwing up on my nice curtains. And I know who it was last time Pippin because a) whoever threw up had consumed a large amount of mushrooms and b) because of the hidden video camera.
Pippin Took: we are the Fellowship of the Pub Crawl now!
Gimli Sonofgloin: let's spike Legolas' drinks. I want to see if it's true that elf-vomit glows in the dark.
King! Aragorn!: If anyone makes any reference to getting royally pissed, spirits or the drinking horn of Gondor, the party is cancelled.
Boromir Ofgondor: these drinking parties are so corporealist.
Pippin Took: Sam, bring your potato vodka! It's amazing!
Merry Brandybuck: most drunk person at midnight has to update their facebook status.
Gimli Sonofgloin: I HATE that rule.
Gandalf: goodbye evevveryryones! LOVES YOU ALL! LOVES YOUOUU youe the bBEST fellowship any one ever had. ,
Merry Brandybuck: OK, I didn't expect it to be Gandalf.

Legolas Greenleaf: I am definitely going to hate this cave. Dark, UNDERGROUND, smelly, full of rocks and distinctly lacking in trees or anything else remotely interesting.
Gimli Sonofgloin: well, you can't back out of it now!
KIng! Aragorn! : don't be too hard on him. He's just scared of the dark.
Legolas Greenleaf: I am NOT scared of the dark. I just happen to be a little... claustrophobic. It's a cultural thing.
King! Aragorn!: Oh, a cultural thing, is it? Like the males doing the cooking in elvish society? Arwen claims that's a cultural thing too. I saw right through it, of course! She can't trick me with that one!
Gimli Sonofgloin: Then why do you always do the cooking? And the cleaning?
King! Aragorn!: ...
Gimli Sonofgloin: Ha!
Merry Brandybuck: In the Shire, we all cook. And then we all eat.
Legolas Greenleaf: Cook, eat, repeat. Yup, we had that figured out.
Pippin Took: you can pretty much reduce our cultural heritage to those three words.
Merry Brandybuck: except when it's 'drink, eat, repeat'. or 'Smoke, eat, repeat'.
Pippin Took: we tried 'drink, cook, eat' and decided not to repeat.
Merry Brandybuck: I told you that you couldn't eat the curtains, but you insisted they were 'some kind of delicious biscuit."
Pippin Took: I was quoting!
Merry Brandybuck: you were on fire. I don't mean 'High five, dude, you were on fire!'. I am talking about extensive damage to my furniture, and second degree burns.
Legolas Greenleaf: I never know if I should interrupt you two quickly before you get going and no-one else can get a word in, or just prepare to be surprised at where the conversation ends up.
Sam Gamgee: I like cooking.
King! Aragorn!: I don't mind doing the cooking and cleaning, but she expects me to be the breadwinner and lightbulb-changer as well! I'm doing the non-traditional and the traditional tasks, and she just watches the telly.
Legolas Greenleaf: just don't expect her to sew.
Frodo Baggins, Sam Gamgee,Merry Brandybuck, Pippin Took,Gimli Sonofgloin and Legolas Greenleaf are attending Journey Home

Legolas Greenleaf; Sparkly. Sparkly caves.
Gimli Sonofgloin: that's elvish for "Gimli was right! I was wrong!"
King! Aragorn!: Aw, I miss you guys. Being King is boring. You're not supposed to chop people's heads off. Apparently there are rules about that sort of thing... Even Boromir's always haunting the tavern so I have no-one to talk to.
Gimli Sonofgloin: Now who's failing? Aw, I don't mean it! We'll be back soon for another EPIC PUB CRAWL OF DOOM unless of course Legolas' pet trees eat me.
Legolas Greenleaf: Sparkly.
Gimli Sonofgloin: ... yes. I think this may have been a bad idea.

Saruman changed his name to Sharky

Sharky: Curse you, Peter Jackson! CURSE YOU AND YOUR SLIGHTLY HAPPIER ENDINGS!

Pippin Took:Green Dragon! I missed you so!
Sam Gamgee: So did I...
Frodo Baggins: and I'm sure Rosie missed you too, Sam.

Merry Brandybuck: yes, proper beer!
Pippin Took likes this.
Pippin Took: proper weed!

Frodo Baggins: I didn't save the Shire for me

Sam Gamgee and Rosie Cotton are now in a relationship

Pippin Took: the worst thing about coming home after being away for so long is that everything's in a mess. You have to air the rooms, wash the curtains, clean the bathrooms...
Sam Gamgee: weed the gardens...
Frodo Baggns: yeah, and it's hard when you only have nine fingers.
Merry Brandybuck: Oh well, we might as well get on with it. Come on, everyone- let's go and scour the shower.

Sam Gamgee: well, that was all very exciting,, but I am really looking forward to returning to the Shire&hellip; where they cook potatoes properly, where there's peace and quiet and a distinct lack of evil villains, where you can get beer at the Green Dragon and where lovely lovely Rosie Cotton lives&hellip;
Sam Gamgee: *blushes* er, and lots of other lovely hobbits besides. Um. How do you delete posts?
Frodo Baggins: Oh, come on, Sam! You fought off a massive spider and put up with me whining. You can ask Rosie out!
Merry Brandybuck: peace and quiet? Er&hellip;. Anyone remember that foreboding?

Relive the Journey Through Music

Check out 'Psychopathic, Chronic, Schizophrenic Gollum Blues'

In January 2001, we released our Lord of the Rings music tribute song, "Tolkien (The Hobbit & Lord of the Rings)" to MP3.com. Within a month, the song skyrocketed up the charts to #14 of the MP3.com charts out of over two million songs!

Two years later, the Brobdingnagian Bards are at last completing a music CD dedicated to the JRR Tolkien's. This album is soundtrack, if you will for the books, filled with entirely original Lord of the Rings music. It is a mostly instrumental album that aspires to show our memories of the Lord of the Rings music world.

If you enjoy the music of JRR Tolkien, consider checking out the album that started it all--Songs of the Muse which features the original release of our #1 hit song that is still the most-popular Celtic song on MP3.com, "Tolkein (The Hobbit & Lord of the Rings)"
