Can we expect daily LOTR memes from you at this point Ducky?

Blame @Mojo , his meme thread in Fangorn is what turned me onto the idea. I'd seen LotR related memes for years but never thought it could be so fun and easy! (now funny, there's a challenge :ugeek: )

I love all Memes and fully support the creation of more memes in all formats.

VERY WELL. Time to go meta.

Gandalf, try another spell of opening. Just one more spell of opening. Maybe this one. Definitely going to be the next one, that'll absolutely work.

Also apologies to everyone because I have NO IDEA why they keep posting so large. Is there any way to change that in-post or do I have to edit the files?
Re: Hard truths

To my knowledge it just is based on the file size of the photo, which you can check the dimensions of by inspecting (or sometimes it's displayed on the webpage). At least it seems that way to me because my pictures come out different sizes and I do nothing to adjust them. And another Bombadil meme:

Since I just started reading the Long-Expected Party again, this seems appropriate.

Amazing, Mojo. I, like the guests at Bilbo's party, have still not yet determined if that comes out to a compliment or not...

Even Lothlorien and Erebor chipped in for defense, but Rivendell?

@KingODuckingham hey, he held a council! At which I guess he decided "you all figure it out." It's said his house was perfect if you liked food, so I bet he had a good spread. :P

Using Ducky's theme as some inspiration here. This seems like a sensible meme format.

Gandalf does seem the type to be physically brusque, doesn't he?

If only Boromir could have met Saruman to learn from his mistakes...but maybe he wouldn't have.

Not exactly a meme but I saw this on BoredPanda:
Describe your favorite movie as boring as possible:
Guy finds a ring and his nephew returns it to the factory

A movie-only meme, I suppose. Dim reminded me that I was missing days, but I ain't posting extra to make up for it.

@KingODuckingham Silly Gimli, should have used a hammer!

Ha, you're good Ducky. I know you have littles at home, but the consistent memes are appreciated.

Alright, alright, here's another one then. Bit salty about this one too, even almost two decades later.

That part was super annoying!

I agree, it was extremely frustrating. Especially since they couldn't follow through on it anyway, per the plot of the book, you know, the THING THEY WERE ADAPTING?! Anyway....

TBH I have no idea if I used this meme properly, I am no meme historian.
Re: Hard truths

At times I do sympathize with Denethor...an only father, he had a kingdom to rule, a wizard and a ranger after his throne, a palantir to look into. He was just swamped with work:

Hahaha so true, poor Faramir. And speaking of fools, there never was any hope but a fool's hope.

The following is not mine, and you can see the original in the wonderful subreddit LotrBookMemes, but I thought it was so good I had to cross-post it here:

Yeah I would never have made such a terrifying abomination of an image, but here we are. This one I did make, at least the text portion.
Re: Hard truths

I like this image a lot better. What a cute lil hat for a man of quality.
Re: Hard truths
Posted: Fri Jul 31, 2020 3:14 pm
It does seem a little strange, doesn't it? I would have thought the word would be forebearers, but they both seem to be words. English can be strange (which is good, because it makes for great puns like Gandalf's in that totally canon scene)

KingODuckingham, perfect for Denethor. 
This was my experience seeing the NuPlaza returned.

So true. Although they do get gently confused sometimes, like this:

I don't know where else on the Plaza to post this, but I just remembered an excellent video from the ancient days.

Ooh, I think that should be cross-posted to the LOTR parodies thread that's somewhere in this forum. 
Re: Hard truths
Posted: Tue Aug 11, 2020 4:38 pm
Well, here's a thing. The Hobbit almost feels more ridiculous than the plan in LotR in a way. At least in LotR the idea is clearly articulated to the participants and the reader. In the Hobbit they literally have no plan as far as I can tell.
