Ok guys, the next omnibus. It will be the same idea as last time, starting mid afternoon taking us through the night into the following morning. All comments on what would make it all better are much welcome, and please don't forget to vote above. Note that it's a wednesday, following a tueday night (as wednesdays habitually do...) so while I'll probably be out and drinking the previous night, the omnibus will start late enough in the day for recovery sleep and recouperation. In the case people have exams still, I will move it to early the next week, maybe the following monday or somesuch. I'm gonna try and be more organised for this one

Can you edit polls? Your apostrophe error bothers me. Fix that.
Also, I will totally be there, but I reserve the right to ramble at you all in French in preparation for failing my oral resit the following Monday. On ne marche pas simplement dans Mordor. Or something.

What a great plan that man has. If they'd had bears, they wouldn't have needed Frodo and his magical Sam. And that ring thing.

DAMMIT, TOM, WE HAVE THE GUILD THAT DAY!
Make it the Thursday. I may help you out with all the tidying and hoovering and cleaning the bath, etc. if you do that...

Wait, now I'm confused. Did you edit this post already? Or did I misread it in the first place? I swear I was stone-cold sober when I made the above post. And yet... Also I was hoping Percy Jackson came out before then so that we could watch the opening scene and I could make the obligatory ONE DOES NOT SIMPLY WALK INTO OLYMPUS joke before we started on LotR for real, but apparently it's not out until July. So my lulz are ruined.

I'm not a LOTR fan so your tedious debate means nothing to me. However, I can't help but notice the 18th is not a Wednesday but the Tuesday Tom plans on getting drunk at. Discuss.

It's not the 18th! That's just when the poll will close, can't you people read?!? It will be on Wednesday, the 26th of May, 2010 of the AD in this current space time continium. I plan to be out on Tuesday the 25th of may because my last exam is on Monday the 24th May. I think that's it all sorted out... mostly. It's on a wednesday night to allow people to fix their sleep patterns for the event happening a few days after. Sorry to the guild but it's pretty much summer now anyway :s We should totally make lembas bread. But the smoking of pipeweed is forbidden within the premises. Also, bring your rings of power if you know where you left them. Actually, if anyone wants to bring their swords or bows or axes, that would also be pretty cool ^^

I'm not entirely sure if you'll be allowed to walk through Glasgow with those kind of implements. I have a glass (which is currently sitting beside me) which has a picture of the one ring. It also has the full rhyme on the other side of it. The mug I used for my tea earlier (and is currently also sitting beside me) has the Hobbits on it! I shall attempt to bring the Lord of the Rings chess and Risk, but I shall have to discuss this with you in person Tom... Additional: All Guild members wear lilac!

This thread is straying into territory I dare not enter. I am now boycotting this thread to ensure I don't go mad and lose all faith in every last one of you. If you want a reason I will merely say this. LOTR to me is what Star Wars is to Dave.

Though I agree with Pete on this one, I will be turning up anyway as an excuse to bring my Baseball Bat of Lore; With Goddamn Runes On It.
One does not simply walk into Mordor; One goes into Mordor swinging. (and not the free-love kind, either).
Also, Boromir looks exactly like Tom when he does his 'That would be so freakin' awesome!' scene; something that Tom himself says. A lot.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a Guy to be.

I'm sure I'm busy that day later on. Not sure why at this time of thinking, whether I have a party that night or not, but I'm sure I am.
Also, found this chaos on Facebook. Could be fun to do at Tom's ;D
LOTR Drinking Game
So, before you start each player has to allocate themselves a Lord of the Rings name, no one can have the same name, which is a lot of fun if you have a lot of players, you have to start pulling in the Haldirs and Eomers. Everyone must be called by their LOTR name for the length of the game, and anyone who does otherwise must take 2 drinks.
Now for the official rules: Everyone must have one drink whenever.. 1. There's a close-up of the ring 2. Someone draws a sword 3. Someone speaks in elvish (the language of Mordor counts) 4. Merry and/or Pippin do/say something stupid 5. There's a gay look/line/implication between Frodo and Sam 6. Legolas says something poetic or looks off into the distance 7. Gandalf says something wise/mysterious 8. Someone speaks about the Strength of Men or Aragorn's bloodline/future. 9. Out of respect, when a character of importance passes away - Drink!. 10. Whenever Legolas does something kick-arse (can be judged by the participants) 11. Whenever Frodo falls over. 12. Whenever there is an Elf vs. Dwarf moment. 13. At the "Share the Load" moment in the last movie, the person with the least alcohol in their drinking vessel must share that with the person with the most.
And this is for the diehard fans; If you say a line in time with the movies (correctly) you may allocate 3 drinks. HOWEVER, if you don't get the line right, say one wrong word etc, you must take 3 drinks.
The first player to pass out/vomit should be made to walk around a heavily populated area dressed as either a hobbit, an elf or Gandalf. The last one standing/conscious/not vomitting is.. THE LORD OF THE RING.
PS: INTERNATIONAL DRINKING RULES APPLY (ie: No drinking with the right hand, no pointing, no saying the word "drink")

You know, my flat mate did tell me I should at least give LOTR a chance...
Having given due consideration to how much I plan on drinking to forget my exams I will more than probably come along. Besides, I want to see this bat.

'Tis a mighty bat. It's said that it glows whenever neds are near, for it thirsts for their blood (and chunks of their skull/brain matter, for this bat takes no prisoners).
