Oh man, perhaps the most classic possible picture for a caption contest.

Caption: Boromir showing everyone he knows plenty about rings, like what shape a ring is, he's not an idiot.

Of course this picture needs to come up in a Caption Contest!

Boromir held up his hand as he said, "I swear, the carrot was this big around!"

"Doesn't play well with others. Needs to learn to share," Oropher read the school report sadly. "I am sure he will learn with time!" he told the schoolmistress.

Thranduil had been provided with a 41 foot pole in order to touch the smelly dwarves. The rest of the group stayed much further back, in fear of getting close enough to become contaminated.

Thranduil poked at the box of donuts. "What is this new devilry?" he asked, as the other huddled back, afraid they would ruin their figures.

All good entries. What to decide?

@Gwai I'm imagining donuts being introduced in Middle-earth and that is precisely how I think Thranduil would react. You're up. :grin:

Family portrait sessions were always a bit awkward, especially when Gimli insisted on standing in the back.

Aragorn nervously met Legolas' gaze after revealing that he did, in fact, think there was a wrong way to eat a Reese's.

Gamling looked at Aragorn. When Theoden started singing "La Donna e Mobile" from Rigoletto, it was every man for himself to escape.

Aragorn: Just take him, he'll be stone dead soon.
Gamling: I can't take him. It's against regulations.
Theoden: I feel fine! I think I'll go for a walk

While the balcony of Isengard made for an excellent place to sing, Grima doubted the strength of Saruman's operatic skills. The wizard always sang just a bit off key.

Grima was sure the fish Saruman caught wasn't quite *that* big, but he kept his doubts to himself.

So anyway, I am the White King and Grima's gonna be the Black Bishop, but we need thirty more volunteers to play properly.

I'm very happy there is a NuPlaza. So nice to have a place where I can enjoy and laugh again with everything happening in the world. And again the contributions have made it rather impossible for me to pick the funniest.

The last image in my head is Saruman trying to teach the Macarena to his army of orcs. So @Isolde Alarion you're up. :D
