“Congratulations, Master Ent”–says a voice out of the corner (yes, hazy with smoke) of the Pony. It is nice to see that you are making suggestions that Master Tubb will create for us. Let’s drink to your success!

Two bowls of fine fresh water please, Master Barli, (whispers aside, “sneak a little scotch into mine”.

I’m afraid the added ingredient will have to be from the Emerald Isle, a far superior form of strong intoxicant to that insipid stuff from North of the Border. Sláinte!

Ah, the Christams Tree! Just stand still, Master T, and I’ll go and get the decorations (and a ladder for Nob)….

For someone who doesn’t believe in being hasty, that was a pretty swift exit. About 60kph, I’d say.

Is there anyone out here? No? Maybe it’s too late …..
I was looking for Master Tree to try to explain the issue of my dagger. Truth it isn´t something I really worry because I only limit myself to lock travelers in my barrow. I don´t usually take the dagger …….. I can cut myself …….
why of the dagger down you ask? Well, when you asked the question I acknowledge that I quickly thought “I was wrong”, perhaps a mistake from the years that I had when I started my M276 (20 years ago). Very far is that date, perhaps a rookie mistake …… But NO, this figure is correctly fitted.

If you look carefully, Master Tree, you can see that the finger-thumb of my hand is properly up (if we consider “finger-thumb” that I have …..). If we rotate the wrist to put the dagger up, the finger-thumb would be down, forcing much the position, I think.
So, I thought at the time (and still think) that the right posture is the photo: the position of Wight “stabbing”, if you understand me :rolleyes:

huoommm … me, the tree, it is … huoumm … and I do understand you well, Master Erchamion. So from your logical description of the pose of the dagger, I have to admit that you’re right. – I’ve always had problems how to fix the dagger to the Dunlending priestress (M10). …. huoom … anyway, Master Erchamion, what about to have a nice bowl of clear-clean-honey-coloured-watery liquid with me … huomm … I would rather enjoy having that drink with you than having been chased by a deer barkeep who’s after me for me playing a Christmas tree, if you might guess, what I mean … rhuoô^0mmm … thank you + cheers …. huoomm … sorry, I must be off before some barkeep enters these very much liked premises … rhuoomm …

Well the Tree knows that the barkeep doesn’t get up in the middle of the night, so he’s safe coming in at that time. But wait till he comes in during daytime – then I’ll get him. The tinsel will be wrapped round him so fast he won’t have time to say “Happy Yuletide”, let alone “I’d like a bowl of clear clean….mmmffffffff!”.

huoommm … hush … he’s not here yet …. doesn’t watch nor care … hmmm … hush … so, what about another Christmas-riddle ? … just a thought, of course … my last one was in 09 or so, wasn’t it? … rhuûûûom … any interest in here about such another riddle-thing? … hooomm? … er, by the buy, does anyone around here know why barkeeps sleep long? … huom?

They don’t. They barely get any sleep at all.

A for the riddle, why not? I failed miserably with the last one, but I seem to remember I won the previous year. It would be a good test to see if i still have any brain cells functioning!

hmm … silence , please, Master Milo, this is a very secret riddle, of course because I have not thought about placing another riddle here again after such a long time … rhuomm … though the riddle could not even be answered by our dear Elf … hmm … he guessed wrong … ahhhhhhhhhhh .. the deer-barkeep’s present … alas, I’m caught … huomm … and have to cope with that … pfff … alright, my first question was put by me in one of my numerous entries lately. It was addressed to Gildor, who could not find correctly out about it, don’t you remember? …. huoommm … it was a kind of testing a riddle … huomm ….
er, Master Barliman, do you think it better to have another thread being opened for such kind of a thing? … anyway, rhuoomm … if anyone finds my first question, I’ll open a new thread for that … hoomm … see, Master Barliman, no time to play that Christmas-tree this year … huoommm … being a busy tree … rhuoomm …

I wouldn’t even know where to look for your lost riddle, Master Tree! I don’t read everything that passes here, alas – I just don’t have the time. Can’t you repeat it here?

Rick, you were faster that me, and I guess you found the testing riddle Master Ent is talking about.

Older Mitrhil sitting is [mith]M63[/mith] but I do not know if anyone saw the elven king here one day. :rolleyes:

Huomm … so there are three … who might be interested in such Christmas-riddely-thing again, not counting me, the Tree, as then it would be 4 (which wouldn’t ryme). – That’s alright, because I only have 3 prices to give. So that’s all . … rhuommm .. so, if my calculation went well there could be three winners. …. hooommm …
to start is to find my question, which Master Regalrick found out and answered, though he did not provide the answer to the question. – So might be one point for him, guessing the question correctly … huoommm … keep in mind, that this is just for fun …. huoommm … I have to leave now because someone’s coming upstairs , Im sure what he’s carrying … alas …

Huoommm … I forgot to mention that this time all archers from Mirkwood will not be allowed to take part in this riddle, as Master Turambar was the one who made me aware of that. I still hope he enjoys.
