The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and Tolkien - The One Ring

Haha, very funny. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0> Of course we all know it's really Merry who is really instrumental in bringing down the Wiki, though, right? <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0><img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0><img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0>

Oh, thanks! Ciaran: Or is it just Bergil DRESSED as Merry? We'll never know, will we? Unless we reveal his FEET. (Of course, this brings up the issue of Bergil running errands at the Houses of Healing while being treated there himself. I'm sure this is possible to tie together somehow.) As for GILDOR, yes, I am afraid I forgot about him; perhaps we should save him for the Broadway musical version? And there is also GALDOR, whose NOBLE ATTEMPT AT RETURNING TO THE HAVENS AND NOT SO NOBLE IMPRISONMENT BY LOTHO AT BAG END remains yet to be written (I always thought there were too few POOLPS scenes, and Galdor does seem to vanish inexplicably in the story).

. . . man, what a scream this is. Looks like everyone here had a great time doing it. Sigh, and I missed out. Kudos to the originator of the idea and all the brilliant contributors . . .

Oh my god!! I found it!! I first read this over at My Precious.com, but I wanted more so i came here... I since read the rest over at the Mouth of Sauron, but oh my god!! Yayy!! Sniff, but now it's all over...

Hmm, maybe someone should start a new Two Towers version, based on what has already occured in FOTR plus new rumors. Revised Project WINKLE, The Indeterminate Towers or something to that effect. Gandalf: There is a union now between the Two Towers ... Aragorn: Which ones would those be? Gandalf: All of them, see they are all actually the same tower, but they exist simultaeously at different points in space time. Aragorn: Does that mean there are portals in the basement linking them all together. Gandalf: Yes, sure, whatever, the point is, it's supposed to be symbolic. See according to Freud a Tower represents .... Pippin: Ahhhh! I've just been molested by Sauron via the portal. Help. Someone shut me up.

That might be a good idea. Also, someone else may have already suggested this, but how about a W.I.N.K.L.E. style script based on The Hobbit???

Whew!This sure is funny!<img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0> I'm still in the process of reading it, though...

Hey all, I started reading this at MyPrecious about a year ago. Then about a month ago I found the whole Project WINKLE here and have been reading it since. Today I finally finished, horray for me! This project is great. You all have such great senses of humor. I wish, just like everyone else that has recently stumbled upn this page, that I had found this earlier and gotten to add to it...oh well. I certainly couldn't of done any better than everyone else did. Congrats to everyone for creating such a work of art. Eärwen

One more thing: Its so sad to see this site neglected. I had to search forever to find it at the bottom of the lists : ( I've become rather attached. Eärwen

Guess what, everyone? I've compiled the entire script for Project WINKLE on MS Word! You can now read it offline! Download it here: <a target=new href="http://elfhealer.topcities.com/downloads/">http://elfhealer.topcities.com/downloads/</a>. I believe the total size, zipped, is 190 kilobytes or so.

Nice job putting that into Word. Must have been tedious. I've printed it out and am reading it. What a riot!

by **Aerin** » Fri Jun 21, 2002 7:24 pm

I know, isn't it? *sigh* I think the Androgynous Elves of Lothlorien are too close to the "real thing" to be funny, now. <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif"border=0>

by **eco231** » Tue Jun 25, 2002 1:23 pm

it took forever to read this story, but it was hilarious the whole way through ty - Radagast, Elmtree, Freaqboy, and the rest! ur the reason i ever joined! do not meddle in the affairs of dragons for you are crispy and taste good with ketchup

by **ElvenArcher** » Tue Jun 25, 2002 9:52 pm

Yes, I thought of Winkle as soon as we met Haldir and "friends" in Lorien<img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0> Hama must be psychic<img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif"border=0>

Due to inquiries, I'm bumping this up again. I've taken the liberty of deleting many of the posts that said "bump" or something to that effect. This thread is long enough as it is!<img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0> (Yes, I deleted my own "bump" posts as well)

by **oldtook** » Tue Jul 29, 2003 1:07 am

i have just finished reading this script and i think that it is the funniest thing i have ever read. This is my 1st post and I think that they should make a movie out of this. Freaqboy, Radagast and Elmtree are the best. by the way, what happened to freaq near the middle?

by **Mighty_Squid** » Thu Sep 11, 2003 6:44 am

More Funny. Classic.

by **ElfStar** » Tue Dec 02, 2003 10:42 pm

Bumped for the newbies. Remember when TORC was funny?

by **jsavfusco** » Wed Dec 31, 2003 6:49 pm

In light of a recent discussion on another thread, I'm bumping this one back up! Ya gotta read this thing from the beginning. It's hilarious.

When I tried to get at Aerin's link, I was *Strong Bad voice* 404'ED!!!!

by **Aerin** » Wed Apr 14, 2004 8:39 pm

Sorry about that...... I think I fixed the link. Edit: Yup, should work now!

by **Darmok_the_Green** » Thu Apr 15, 2004 7:02 am

Sorry, it still doesn't seem to work...

by **balrogthane** » Thu Jul 07, 2005 12:36 am

I read this for the first time many, many months ago, and it was one of the things that really got me interested in TORC; I joined up and started posting soon after.

It's sad to see it so neglected now.

In other news, BUMP
