[08:11] "War, what is it good for! Absolutely NOTHING!" [08:11] "It's the end of the world as we known it"! [08:11] I didn't find this funny the last time it was submitted for a LotR song contest [08:11] 6okay, vote4 [08:11] vote4 fields [08:11] what's the keyword for the rem song ? [08:11] REM [08:11] ? [08:12] World I should think [08:12] WORLD [08:12] * Dhraakellian is torn between FIELDS and WORLD [08:12] vote4 nothing [08:12] vote4 fields [08:12] I've got the same problem [08:12] vote4 FIELDS [08:12] vote4 fields [08:12] * Dhraakellian doesn't like Nothing. [08:12] At least it's creative and doesn't just take a song title [08:12] caught between a field and a world place? [08:12] vote4 fields [08:13] EofS: and the mood is a tad more fitting [08:13] Although, I presume it would be changed to "Rohan" not "Rohans" [08:13] for the lament of the heros fallen in battle and such [08:13] 6final tally: FIELD 4 NOTHING 1... WE HAVE A WINNER - FIELDS! [08:13] EofS: yeah, it'd have to be Rohirrim otherwise [08:13] which doesn't scan right [08:14] Re Rohan/Rohans too, not sure [08:14] There was a young poet named Dan [08:14] I read "Rohans" as refering to people of Rohan in plural [08:14] Whose poetry never would scan [08:14] should remain rohans to fit into the song [08:14] I'm not a Tolkein geek or anything, Rohans sounds wrong as the plural [08:14] but anyway, I gotta go, Wendy is serving out breakfast right now [08:14] thanks all for judging [08:14] When told this was so, he said, "yes, I know." [08:14] ok, leaving as well. [08:14] will post winners later today [08:14] bye [08:14] cu [08:14] Guido - but I think "Rohan" scans better in the song than "Rohans" regardless o the orignak [08:14] cya john [08:15] rohan is the country [08:15] "It's because I try to fit every last single syllable possible into the last line that I can." [08:15] rohans can at least be easier identified with th epeople [08:15] "Rohans" makes me think that it's talking about the people, but "Rohirrim" would be the correct word for that [08:15] yup, you'll lose them with rohirrim [08:16] Fair enough [08:16] "Red Rohan" could easily be the blood-stained ground [08:16] I will always concede to others' Tolkein geekery, lacking my own [08:16] !;) [08:16] except that the battle wasn't there
