A spot of utter nonsense

Jun 03, 2009 18:13

I was exploring some daft websites at work (for work purposes, as I want to do some teen events in the summer, thanks. And I did allocate all the Branches summer reading challenge materials out, contact partners and spend all afternoon in a meeting about performance indicators, I hasten to add). I didn't really have to test out The Hobbit Name ( Read more... )

fannish scribbles, tolkien, doctor who, fannish nonsense, meme, random generators

That Hobbit name generator is mental! :D

Heh. It's great. I'm entertained by the small things in life. *wonders about Tolkienising UNIT*

The fact that it seems to be able to detect Good Name/Bad Name vibes is even better. (I mean Meriadoc Gamgee Whitfurrows or Elros Aldarion for Colby?) :lol:

LOL Go for it! I'd love to see UNIT with Tolkienesque names!

That is quite cunning of it!

Hobbit UNIT is headed up by Brigadier Bulbo Goodbody of Frogmorton, ably asisted by his scientific advisor, a mysterious fellow who goes under that common alias of Olo Foxburr of Loamsdown.

Other members include Sergeant Olo Gamgee-Took of Bywater, Captain Pimpernel Overhill of Nobottkle, who was replaced by the longer lasting (but eventually treacherous) Ferdirand Bogg-Hillocks.

Glamour was provided initially by Scientist Dr Peony Bramble of Willowbottom, then by Dimple Bolger of Newbury (who left to marry Prof. Grigory Boffin of Whitfurrows). Meanwhile, the MO was Minto Loamsdown of Deephallow.

LOL

Haha! Ruby Danderfluff - what a great name. Been ages since I poked around any name generators, now you tempt me to go waste even *more* time. You're a bad influence on my ability to produce anything useful in my day.

Heheh. Leela's hobbit identity!! Love it.

What about me? I just can't write this sketch. I've wasted another hour now and all I've decided is that I don't like my storyline. And that Hobbit UNIT have very very silly names.

WELL OF COURSE THERE'S A HOBBIT NAME GENERATOR ON THE INTERNET.

PS. Just heard this song and immediately thought of you - I haven't seen any of the movies but I think he has!

It told me it was out of free space and wouldn't play it - is it the same one as the Beautiful South did?

Indeed, I knew it very well. (See the note about my ex-reading club who thought everything I got them to do was boring).

It's very impressive. There's another one, but it's just nothing in comparison...
