The Hall of Fire

Alatar, thanks for adding this discussion here! :) I know I've promised to take part and yet only posted once, but that's just because I don't get round to continue reading the story - I've still only read the first two chapters. I just wanted to say, by way of encouragement, if you want, that start...

Maiden, so good to see you here!

I think the "bicycle - icicle" reading is brilliant, only I think not so very likely, because the 50 in front of it stands for an L, so we need to add an L in front of the word.

to all the new members!

And, if it's not rude to single someone out, a very special to scirocco - so good to see you, my friend!

I don't think I know narya from any other board? Welcome nevertheless, of course!



Edited to add: Ath - *blushes* - thank you!

Frelga, thanks! :) I can only draw from pictures, i.e. something that is already two dimensional - transforming three-dimensional to two-dimensional is still a good deal harder, I find. Let alone draw from the imagination! And even drawing from pictures doesn't always turn out well - but if it does,...

satch, thanks! I did!

Teh satch - and teh duffster!

Welcome, folks!

Hi rowan, good to see you!

Oh, thanks!
I guess that reveals where a lot of my knowledge in all sorts of areas comes from, huh?

Hi tinwë, jeanelf, QueenB!

QueenB, I haven't seen you in ages! How have you been? And where?

Yikes, what is it with that absinthe stuff?

Ack, yes, I mixed that up - of course it's a Gepard (in German) - still, I think Cheetah is a generic name for a Chimpanzee - but I'm probably mixing that up with something else, too.

I think from reading this that there is not much disagreement, really, and my own view is nothing else that what has been said here already, too. The way I see the free will vs predetermination question is a bit like game of chess. There is always just a finite number of possibilities, the number is...

A very nice idea for a thread, vison! :) Hmmh, I like Loreena McKennit, but I haven't heard of those songs. I like the big classical pieces for Christmas, both vocal and instrumental, and I like singing the good old Christmas folktunes - there are dozens of them, it's hard to pick a favourite. And t...

Wow, I love the way the pics bring out the colours and shapes on the leopard and the cougar!

(And why is the leopard called "cheetah" - I thought that was a monkey's name?)

Ooooh, ttbk, beautiful!

Voronwë, yes, it somehow makes the trunks stand out even more palpably!

Welcome Tosh, Wampus, Pearl, Scribbles, Idylle, Padme (thanks for explaining about the name!) - hope I haven't forgotten anyone - so glad to see you all here!

I need a strong drink, too!

*starts searching in people's welcome baskets*

Imp, I'd have written to him myself right yesterday if I hadn't been so tired!

Welcome to all the new members, sorry if some of you had to wait a bit to get your posting permissions, all the Shirriffy types were asleep or at work!

Oooh, thanks for the link, Maiden!

(Quite a different Faramir from the one in the pic of Faramir and Denethor! )

Really lovely!

Welcome Maiden and nl!

Wow, what a pic, Maiden - something you drew?

Oh, I had missed those posts!

Thanks for the compliments, TW and Angel!

And I think I forgot to say hello and welcome to TW and Faramond - welcome!

And welcome to anyone else I might have forgotten!

JEWEL!

*crashtacklehug*

Welcome fisssh!
