Drabble meme

Here's that drabble meme:

Take a drabble and put it through a translator service and then translate it back.
I went from English to French and then back again. This was a set of four drabbles--

LOL! And poor Merry getting only a lower-case "m".

The "high people and the bottom" was very funny.

I don't get that Pippin being translated "rennet" either. hmmm.

[dreamflower02]

I know! Quite silly really! *giggle*

[aspenjules]

*giggles*

that's cute!

[dreamflower02]

You should try it! It's a hoot!

"Rennet" must be some sort of apple. It would crush black and sigh approximately *giggle*

But this made me laugh out loud:
spends a few days before again beating it at the end of bag
Beating poor old Aunt Dora?

And hobbits are "no matter whom differently"!! Oh, wait, or is that relatives?

Too funny!

And I do love the originals, Dreamflower -- very sweet.

Even the rennet and S.A.M. and Saradoc' S.

I'm not sure if "rennet=apple," but "pippin" translates to "reinette" and back to "rennet." Hmm ...

Of course, if I had any brains at all, I'd look up "rennet" before spending half an hour playing with Bable Fish, and this is what I'd find:

[Queasy Warning]

rennet -- 1. a) the membrane lining the stomach of an unweaned animal, esp. the fourth stomach of a calf b) the contents of such a stomach 2. a) an extract of this membrane or of the stomach contents, containing rennin and used to curdle milk, as in making cheese or junket b) any substance used to curdle milk. 3. same as rennin
and
rennin -- a coagulating enzyme that can curdle milk, found in [you guessed it] rennet.

So, yes, much more information than we ever wanted!

(Aren't we glad his Westron name is really Razanur Tuk?!)

Oh, I *knew* what rennet was, I just could not figure out what it had to do with "Pippin"!

It's just an ingredient. Nowadays it's sold in powder form for cheesemaking or even ice cream. I believe there is even a vegetarian form of it that uses the same sort of enzymes--but I checked, and apples are not an ingredient in that either. (Though pectin comes from apples...)

"beating it at the end of a bag" actually gave me this mental image of Bilbo and Dora with sticks thrashing the tar out of an overstuffed bag of whatever, LOL!

But the next day, Mr. Frodo would pack to the top of his case of displacement

That sounds exceedingly difficult.

[dreamflower02]

It does, doesn't it? *grin*

[claudia603]

*giggles* High people indeed. Actaully, I'm not sure there WEREN'T high people at their party...lol!

[dreamflower02]

It's quite possible! *giggle*
