The Taproom

Huuoommm … thank you very much, Master Hsf62, for that bowl of water … huoommm … as for trees I have to tell you that there are different ones, as you might witness whenever you look around you … huoommm … very much different indeed … huom … I am not talking about all those palm trees you felled and now cannot see anymore … rhuoomm … Master Tolkien mentioned that Ents were looking for the lost Entwives for quite a while …. huom … so, Ents are either male or female … huommm … and not at all satisfied with themselves … rhuoomm ….
just ask the two young ones standing in the University Parks in Oxford, once you get there …. huoomm … maybe Telperion or Laurelin might reveil to you a more detailed knowledge about trees … rhuoommm … hom …

I’m guessing the word ‘bowl’ is feminine in Spanish. In Italian the sex of the person is implied from context but the word used is based on the gender of the object spoken of (in this case, bowl). I’m assuming it’s the same in Spanish…

I’m familiar with the rumor, but it more fun to have people guess.

No, Miss. Wendy, “bowl” in Spanish but can mean “taza” (female) is more correctly translated as “cuenco” (masculine). It’s more a “slip” of my part ….. Sorry …. I’ve never known a male tree to distinguish it from a female tree. Would you give some fruit, Master Theobald?

Huoommm … no, not at all bothered … though it seems I’ve caused some trouble because of the use of grammar in different languages … rhuoommm … anyway, what’s important to me is that there’s understanding … rhuoommm … to be honest, to cope with the problem of when to use “ser” or “estar” always meant a challenge to me …. rhuoommm … but, please mind that I’m not a native speaker of all languages used here … maybe it’s better to do it the Swedish way of not using any articles but therefore adding a syllable to the noun … rhuoommm … language to me is a bit complicated, as I’m just a tree – though I try to do my very best to cope with all that.
Huuuooommmm … fruit you mean, Master Erchamion … I’m just about producing as good as I can … huommm ? … but mind this time of year … it’s dark outside and freezy … huom … then there’s the fact that trees cannot haste anything, as you might know … rhuoo … hom … hmm.

I would be interested in a “man”uscript with pictures on the history of mithril miniatures.

Huoommmm … I think you got it right, Master Regalrick … huom … as for you Master Barliman, the Company won’t have to do anything with it, as far as I know …. rhuoommm …

If you don´t want to have all of ths Isildur miniatures given for the “fellowship 12´´round” you can just drop me a line, Master Tree . . . 😎

But mentioned this point is very much to my agreement. We should not charging The Man with too many things, that is right.
So it is really up to the company to give ONE miniature per season/year. Taht means, The Man has to sculp . . . :rolleyes:
No miniature will be a little odd for collecting all 12 minis. Maybe they can cancel the point that you HAVE to buy all minis per annum.
As for me. I joyned the fellowship with that offer NOT collecting all minis per year. Does that makes sense?

Huoommm … so you got me right … rhuom … what I think is that The Man, of course, has to be payed for sculpting a figure, there’s no question … huom … that offer was thought of as a special gift for people buying all 12 figures in a year … hom … so, if the company cannot afford it, I will be first to understand that … rhuoommm … though they then should cancel that special offer, right? … huoommm …
See, it was always me, the tree, who in the last years addressed the company in public threads I started on their own homepage about those special MS-gifts and about Christmas figures until back in 2005 … huoomm …
since 2006 we do have very nice Christmas-figures again (though the size was reduced to 32mm) …. huoommm … so with that I felt being succesful … rhuom …
as for the MS-gifts I already pointed out somewhere that there’s no other company doing something like that … huooooooooommmm … on the other hand these figures mean something special for collectors, as they cannot simply be bought …. hoomm …

Master Turambar, point is that you only get one figure … huoomm … so I don’t have a spare one, sorry …. huooommmmmm … of course just buying what you like makes sense, Master Turambar … hom

The point is that I may buy 12 MS per year, but not 12 successive references…..
will it be possible to obtain this extra free one once a fellowship member has bought the 12 successive references but in several years ?

For me is absolutely the same… without any doubt I would like to have this 12 + 1 figure… since I anyway buy every piece that is released in mithril shop…. But if this figure represent for the company a large expense, than we could live without it….
