"Well, this is what I get, ordering an iguana off of ebay."

Some women just seem attracted to the wrong type. Think of a humorous caption for this image of Nienor and the dragon Glaurung from the Silmarillion  and post it in the comments section of THIS page. Click the thumbnail to see a larger image (and I recommend this), but be sure to return to THIS page before posting your caption.

Remember, TolkienOnline is a "family friendly" site, so keep all captions clean and G rated!

As always, the only prize is "the satisfaction of a job well done!"

Last week's winner was "computermouse" with  'Bilbo: "No! No! You come in AFTER the third 'row'! Now let's try again. Row, row, row your boat..."'

To see this or other past caption contests, click the link atop this page.

 

This week's winner is  Lalaith-Elerrina with "Well, this is what I get, ordering an iguana off of ebay."

 

Runner up was Todd Martinez with "Listen lady, just tell me, 'Is this or is this not a casting call for Dragons on Ice'"

 

Other top captions were:

Nienor: This "forced perspective" stuff doesn't fool anybody. Out of my way, lizard, before I squash you.

"If I kiss you you'll turn into a what?"

Nienor attempts to dismay Glauraung with a potentially fatal "this never happened in the book"

"What? You couldn't find the tennis ball AGAIN?"

Stay tuned for, "When Pokemons Attack".

To see other captions, click the "comments" section. There were quite a few good ones this week!

  14. The contest is up less than 24 hours and we have a bunch of great captions! I should have done the Silm earlier!

    This pic is for a certain TORC message board poster who loves to see picture of Nienor (you know who you are).

    I notice few of you use the "vote" feature for the caption contest. If you like the image I pick each week, please indicate it by giving a high vote (lower if you don't like it). That will give me a feel for what sort of images you think are good caption contest material (of course, the funniness of the entries also gives me a hint).

    Comment by theneonfish - March 18, 2004 @ 1:26 PM

  38. Where I'm going, you can't follow. What I've got to do, you can't be any part of. Nienor, I'm no good at being noble, but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of a dragon and a beautiful woman don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you'll understand that. Now, now... Here's looking at you kid.

    Glaurung: The ROUS's are on vacation. I'm the temp.

    Comment by Stupid_Orcs - March 19, 2004 @ 11:31 AM

  47. In the biggest departure from canon, Peter Jackson's upcoming Tolkien epic will see Glaurung taunt Nienor about only being an adopted child of Hurin. "That was the only way we could do what the studio wanted - to give the hero a happily-ever-after ending. The incest angle would never work on the big screen, anyway," said the award-winning director.

    Comment by Frelga - March 19, 2004 @ 1:38 PM

  48. "Marry had a little...well a big lamb... errrr dragon."

    Comment by Minuial_o_Lorien - March 19, 2004 @ 7:11 PM

  51. Upon hearing Glaurung's crushing statement, that the relationship was never going to work, Nienor was crushed. But hope rose again when she heard the tender words, "But I do have good news!"

    But Nienor sank once again into emotional distress when the encouraging statement was followed by, "I just saved a load of money on my car insurance."

    Comment by PrincessofNumenor - March 19, 2004 @ 7:36 PM

  52. I meant to say, Upon hearing Glaurung's crushing statement, that the relationship was never going to work, Nienor was devastated. But hope rose again when she heard the tender words, "But I do have good news!"

    But Nienor sank once again into emotional distress when the encouraging statement was followed by, "I just saved a load of money on my car insurance."

    Dreadfully sorry!

    Comment by faramiriscool - March 20, 2004 @ 2:36 AM

  57. No matter how lonely she might be, Nienor vowed not to answer a personal add in Matchmaker Morgoth Monthly ever, ever again.

    Comment by ThreadStalker - March 20, 2004 @ 2:27 PM

  58. Nienor: Go on, Mum you let me have a dog before, it wasn't my fault he died! He's got nowhere to go, and I promise I'll feed him and walk him and I'll take care of him all by myself!

    Comment by LadyGreenleaf2000 - March 20, 2004 @ 2:29 PM
