Well, I have gotten an overwhelming response that the Tolkien fun section is too hard! Thank you all for responding to my query! Read on, for a milder, gentler version of the Tolkien Fun Section.
Hello all! Time for another rousing edition of the Tolkien fun section! Our last winner was no one! The questions were too hard! Here are the questions for today:
1) “According to Tolkien, Who invented the game of golf?”
2) “rnetsokaen” (Scrambled tolkien person, place or thing….try searching in “The Hobbit”)
3) “This is worse than Mordor!” (Who said this? “The Return of the King” holds this quote)
As always, Mail me with your answers, the 1st person to send all 3 correct answers in one mailing will be posted here next time! Good luck………Gamgee

Anyone who’s gotten interested in what inspired Tolkien’s imagination would like this project – it’s an animated version of Wagner’s gigantic opera cycle, The Ring – which also centres on a cursed ring. A potted version, using the main elements of the Nordic myth and accompanied by Wagner’s music without the singing. Intrigued? You should be. Cursed gold, dragons, swords and sorcery….done in 28 minutes. Initially it’ll be aired on BBC/Channel 4TV, I believe, as they’re backing it. The makers, Case TV, hope to make it more widely available as a video eventually. We’ll keep track of this project too…..something to watch while we wait for LOTR.
