The Revived Tolkien Trivia

[Pyan]

Beorn, the Were-bear.

He changes his skin: sometimes he is a huge black bear, sometimes he is a great strong black-haired man with huge arms and a great beard.

Gandalf on Beorn.

The Hobbit - Chapter 7 - Queer Lodgings

 

[Marky Lazer]

No, that's not what I'm looking for! You didn't really think I was looking for something this obvious and simple, were you? As far as I know, does the term "were-bear" never appear, does it?

 

[Clansman]

Is the mighty Pyan on the ropes?!?!?!?

Stay tuned, kids. Same bat-time. Same bat-channel.

Personally, I have no idea. This one's a bit remote for me.

 

[Pyan]

Were-worms...


Bilbo:

Tell me what you want done, and I will try it, if I have to walk from here to the East of East and fight the wild Were-worms in the Last Desert.

[Marky Lazer]

That's what I meant! Good job, Pyan! Tingle-ting-away!

 

[Pyan]

Ithankyou....
Right:

Who was the tallest of all elves and Men?

 

[Marky Lazer]

But when Elwe awoke from his long trance, he came forth from Nan Elmoth with Melian, and they dwelt thereafter in the woods in the midst of the land. ... His people gathered about him in joy, and they were amazed; for fair and noble as he had been, now he appeared as if it were a lord of the Maiar, his hair as grey silver, tallest of all the Children of Iluvatar; and a high doom was before him.

[Pyan]

The bells, the bells.....

Away you go, Marky!

 

[Marky Lazer]

Then what about this one; what sound does a bell make?

 

[Pyan]

Like a hammer?

The dwarves of yore made mighty spells,
While hammers fell like ringing bells
In places deep, where dark things sleep,
In hollow halls beneath the fells.

The Hobbit - Chapter 1 - An Unexpected Party

 

[Marky Lazer]

Not what I was looking for... I'm really looking for a sound...

 

[Marky Lazer]

Oh, I think it's fair to say that you ARE checking the exact right source; book and chapter.

 

[Pyan]

Doh!

It's ding-dong-a-ling-dang, of course

 

[Marky Lazer]

Your go! And here's the bell: ding-dong-a-ling-dang!

 

[Pyan]

Orlritey!

The elves call it Valacirca...what would Bilbo call it?

 

[Marky Lazer]

Only from the map did Bilbo know that away up there, where the stars of the Wain were already twinkling, the Running River came down into the lake from Dale and with the Forest River filled with deep waters what must once have been a great deep rocky valley.

The Hobbit, Ch. 10 A Warm Welcome

 

[Pyan]

Another bell for the campanology expert!

 

[Marky Lazer]

An easy one, for I'm tired...

What herb did Frodo save from dying?

 

[Pyan]

I must be too, Marky, because I really don't understand the question.

 

[j d worthington]

Pardon me... looks like a slight inversion (am I right, Marky?) for "What herb saved Frodo from dying?"....
