Mordor Caption Contest

[KingODuckingham]

I'm not trying to rob you, Gandalf had said. But as soon as Bilbo turned his back, out came the grabby hands.

[Dwim]

Welcome back to the Battle of the Longest, Pointiest Fingers! First up is Gandalf the Grey. Soon to come, defending champion, Saruman the White!

[Gwai]

Gandalf resorted to magic when he realized Bilbo was going to win the belly flop competition

[Lirimaer]

Years wearing a Ring of Power had unnaturally lengthened Gandalf's ring finger.

[Boromir88]

I had to read these all 10 times to try to determine the funniest one Well done everyone on providing many laughs.

Next caption goes to @KingODuckingham , I suspect that was Gandalf's plan all along. Set Bilbo up as the 'burglar' of the Company, but the true burglar was Gandalf! In my rereading of The Hobbit, there are several mentions of Gandalf eating more food and smoking more than anyone else in the company, when he was around!

[KingODuckingham]

Thanks! There really were some great ones, I love reading these threads. Have at ye!

[Gwai]

Legolas knew that, despite how much it hurt, the dwarves' comment about his Snuggie not quite warrant a declaration of war.

[The Good Hunter]

Legolas' "Yo mama's so hairy" jokes didn't land well with the new critics.

[Glitterati_Goblin]

“What did I say about short jokes!”

[Dwim]

Legolas: "Hold me back, hold me back!"
Dwarf: "Hold me back, hold me back!"

[Nessila]

On the left we have a tall beautiful blonde, coming in at 150 lbs, and on the right, a rough and gruff, ginger bearded shortie coming in at 250 lbs. Wait for it. Wait for it. The bell is about to ding!

[Lirimaer]

At the Imladris Fashion convention, the Dwarven designers were enraged by the enormous height of the models.

[Burnt Toast]

Center man: "Wait, wait, hang on everyone, I think my beard is about to take off!"
Man to his right: "Mine's already up in that tree over there!"

[Boromir88]

The Men trying to be peacemakers suggested everyone just needs to sit, calm down and look directly into the sun.

[Zôrzimril]

The fight about whose wigs looked worse at the Council of Elrond took an unexpected and nasty turn.

[KingODuckingham]

@Dwim , please take the floor. That's exactly how I see it now. Thanks for making me smirk everyone. Except you Nessila, I couldn't read you bright pink post. *nyeh*

[Dwim]

Thanks Ducky! :mrgreen: Here's a new one for everyone:

[Boromir88]

Bilbo: "Look at the smoke ring, Gandalf. You're getting sleepy, very sleepy. When you wake, you will give all your longbottom leaf to Bilbo."

[Gwai]

Bilbo and Gandalf stared at the smoke ring for a minute, concerned, as neither one had actually taken a puff yet.

[KingODuckingham]

Gandalf stared thoughtfully into the distance, pretending to listen while Bilbo tried yet again to sell him on a pipeweed multi-level marketing scheme.

[Burnt Toast]

Gandalf: I'm doing it! I'm moving it with my mind powers!
Bilbo: it's just the wind, Gandalf
Gandalf: Hush, you

[Zôrzimril]

Bilbo and Gandalf realized at the same moment that the smoke ring was a portent of Ring problems to come.

[Androthelm]

Gandalf struggled to decide how to break it to Bilbo that Frodo gave Lobelia Bag-End.

[Narv]

Yup, that's the one, that's my magic ring. All yours old buddy. Happy to help! What's that? No, it was definitely always giant and made of smoke. Ol smokey I always called it! Anyhoo I'd best be off to Rivendell now goodlucksavingtheworldandsuchkbye!!

[Dwim]

Great captions, everyone! This was a super tough choice between Gwai's and Narv's, but at the end of the day, the mystery of just where that smoke ring came from has got me.

So @Gwai, you're up! ;)

[Gwai]

Thanks @Dwim! Gotta wonder about those smoke rings!

Next up:

[Dimcairien Luiniel]

Grima to Theoden, while both are looking into a mirror - "My lord, now do you understand the importance of using daily moisturizer?"

[KingODuckingham]

Grima made the amateur mistake of looking in the same direction right after Theoden was turned to stone by the basilisk.

[Boromir88]

Grima surprised Theoden when telling him, Theoden was on the "Goth Fashion for the Old Sovereign" makeover show.

[Zôrzimril]

Gríma gave the stink-eye to party guests who dared whisper that it couldn't possibly be Théoden's twenty-fifth birthday party.

[Nessila]

Gríma: wait, what? You don't think the statue is a good replica? Too stonefaced? Not lifelike enough?[/color]

[Lirimaer]

"Eowyn did it, my liege. She wanted to be the fairest in the land!"

[Dwim]

Grima: "The new wall looks great in white, my lord. Pity it took you so long."
Theoden: "I'm never painting again..."

[Gwai]

Great captions! This one is going to @Lirimaer. Your turn!!

[Lirimaer]

I felt for sure Dimcarien had this in the bag! But thanks, @Gwai

[Boromir88]

Aragorn: Theoden's probably thinking why I turned down marrying Eowyn.
Theoden: I wonder, will I be able to get out of that stupid oath? If I just leave my foot in this fire a little longer.

[Gwai]

“Gandalf, we’re here because we love you and we care about you. But the pipeweed..., well it’s got to stop.”

[Burnt Toast]

Gandalf told the boys it was time for bed, and that's when the pouty faces came out.

[Zôrzimril]

Once again, Gandalf was picked last in gym class...

[Dimcairien Luiniel]

Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli had decided that it was high time to make an album cover for their boy band.

[KingODuckingham]

Gandalf: "Theoden tells me some very interesting things about what you have done. Why, when there's trouble, is it always you three?"

[Dwim]

Theoden: "Maybe I'll get their attention if I put my foot in this fire."

[Lirimaer]

I hand over the baton to @KingODuckingham - such a Dad caption.

[KingODuckingham]

Woohoo, Dad jokes! Now, let's see what interesting pictures we can find...

[Burnt Toast]

It was about time someone went super saiyan around here

[Boromir88]

Frodo was on his way to tell Sam that he used so much spice in that dish Frodo was starting to fold space and see the future!

[Lirimaer]

Oh dear, @Boromir88 stop winning the internet. too perfect.

In Mordor, Frodo had trouble controlling his

[Reikon Suchi-ru]

No, Sam, I won't calm down! I have every right to be grumpy. It is entirely too hot here and my hair is a mess!

[Boromir88]

@Lirimaer Sorry, I guess you can tell what movie I've watched recently

[Gwai]

Frodo threw his cloak back. He wasn't Frodo anymore, he was SuperHobbit! Able to leap tall coffee tables in a single bound!
