Is he real, do you think?

And oh yes, I’ve had Stroh rum back in my wild days. Not to be recommended unless you like hangovers.

Well, she/he was at the same time here online, so I believe she/he is real…
Good stuff this Stroh Rum isn’t it. But you have to drink it straight out of the freeser. I wouldn’t recommend to drink it warm…

The only drinks that should be ever served warm are tea, coffee, cocoa and variations thereof. All forms of alcoholic beverage taste much better cold.

Hey Master Barliman!
What about a 25% off sale? Let´s open your barrels . . .

25% off? Certainly – as long as you have 25% less in your glass too.

Huoommm … as far as I know you, Master Barliman, that will be the same for bowls? … huom?

I’m afraid so. But then, since you don’t pay anything, that means your bowl should actually be empty, if we apply a pro rata basis.

Well, don’t be nasty Master Barkeep, the Master tree is the one assisting with everything, so his drink should be for free anyway! (wargskin/christmastree….etc) :lol::lol:

Huoommm … as for me …. rhuoommm … clear-clean-non-sparkeling-honey-coloured-watery-liquid seems to be not available for me around here any more … huoommm … and, by the by, Master Barliman, I didn’t even dared to ask for a free drink in here … hooommmm … though I could prove that I was once granted free drinks for my lifetime …. rhuoommm … I do not complain at all about me bowl being not filled any more … hoommm!
Try to remember, huoomm …. a very long time ago, then the motto of the Prancing Pony was “facts and rumours”, remember that? … rhuommmmhuommm … it were those days when you gave away some bowls for either facts or rumours of mine … hommm … so, as I have to face an empty bowl here, that means, no drink, no more rumours …. hoom … right? … so that includes no rumours about them planned books, of course … rrhuoommmm …

Just for the record, Master Tree, remind me when you last came up with a rumour…. In fact, we’ve been rather short on rumours all round, for quite a while. It’s about time The Man leaked some more info for us.

Huooommmm … that’s exactly what the rumour I was referring to is about, Master Barliman … huoommm … but, as you rather chose to keep me bowl empty for reasons I don’t understand …rhuommm … and instead of that keep on complaining about them dusted bar-tappely- things you always refer to … rhuoommm … errr … ahem … I really dunno when I last came up with a rumour indeed … rhuom … here you’re right, Master Barliman … huomm …
I don’t recall …. this rumour is about some series of books, as far as I know … rhuoomm … very interesting concept, by the way … huoommm … yes, The Man is involved, indeed … huom
But this empty bowl …. what is it? … rhuoommm … ?

Mithril´s catalogs?, books on Tolkien’s world? ….. I pay his bowl, Master Theobald…….

I fear, Master Erchamion, that the Ent is being as enigmatic as usual. His rumours are generally so vague that you stand very little chance of figuring out what he’s talking about, unless you already know the subject-matter yourself. Alas, since hundreds of thousands of books are published every year (more of them in the UK and Germany than in any other country in the world, I should add), the hint doesn’t tell us much. Except that, presumably, these rumoured books are going to be relevant to Mithril and/or Priince August and/or Phaeton.

Now that I’ve filled your bowl, Master Tree, can you be a little less obscure? (well, you won’t be after you’ve drunk it, so I thought I’d better ask now.)

Huuoommmm … enigmatic? … obscure? … me? … Tree? …. rhuoomm … not at all, Master Barliman … huomm … see, that’s what rumours usually are about … something you’ve heard of, not exactly being informed about each and every detail, just providing a part of a fact … huom …as for us that means, whenever I provide another part of a fact as a rumour I’ll have another bowl, right? … huoomm … if I had provided this as a single fact, maybe I wouldn’t have got a single bowl at all … huommm … but by saying it’s a part of a romour, it’s worth a bowl … then, when I give away another part of it, it’s worth a second bowl, right? …. rhuoomm … then a third bit might even let you forget about those obscure bar-tabs you seem to regard as being mine … huoommm … err, if they’re mine, why don’t you give them back to me? … huom …
Huuuoooooommmmmmm …. nice bowl of liquid that was, Master Barliman, very nice indeed … hom … helped me a lot to get further access into your Breeish way of thinking …. rhuoommm…

Huuoommmm … as for you, Master Erchamion, thank you for paying for that bowl … huom … your first reaction includes a word that might contribute to that rumour very much … rhuoommmm …. though I think it was rather more uttered as a first guess, maybe reveiling one of your many dreams … rhuoommm … ahem, by the by, I’m a male tree ….. rhuoommmmm …

:lol::lol::lol:A male tree!:lol::lol::lol:
Sorry Master Ent, I always had the believe that trees are complete within themselfs and there for they are both, male and female. But that might be different with Ents and because you are the only one I met so far, I really can’t tell.:rolleyes:
A Bowl of water for my friend the Wisest of Ents! Cheers!

Huoommm … rumours? … hoommm … the MS “Northman Lady” was meant to be named “Laketown Lady” …. hom … sorry, once again I have been too much talkative already … that’s what happens when you have a minute of free time …. huoooommhomrhuom
