Speak, Friend, and Enter

https://juristas-ruidos.org/3ypp7524rjd durin.jpgI have many geeky friends. That probably doesn’t surprise anyone. This morning, one of them (I’ll leave his identity concealed, to save face) instant messaged me the link to a site he wanted me to check out. That site was password protected, and with the link, he simply wrote, “Speak friend, and enter.”

Buy Klonopin Generic Cool. 🙂

https://electroseleccio.cat/ege3tdu3b9 So, I proceeded to type “mellon” as the username and password. It didn’t work, so I tried, “Mellon” which didn’t work either. Then I tried, “melon” which is really elvish for “I Love” but could easily been confused. Nope. “Melon”? Nope.

https://olashirt.com/4jg2d5jhlb Frustrated, I turned to google, to check my spelling, and I couldn’t find any other spellings. So, defeated, I IM’d him back, “Ok, how did you spell ‘Mellon’ ?”

To which he replied, “What is Mellon?”

http://www.servicebrandglobal.com/img/quxerit/ I chuckled at myself, typed “friend” as the username and password, and got right in. 🙂 It’s not the first time I’ve been the geekiest person in the room, and I’m sure it won’t be the last…

  1. It should come as no surprise that I used to role play on Elendor (www.elendor.net). I played Elladan and Arwen, a long with other non-vital characters. Although I’ve lost most the knowledge of Sindarin, like with my French, (Ou est l’autobus?), I immediately knew what you were trying to do.

    (Note: Seriously trying not to sound like an overly pompous braggart, but when you’re this much of a Tolkien freak, it tends to come out that way…)

    Me= Supa Geek, too! 🙂

    Namarie Mellyn!

  2. Yep, I would have gotten that reference too. But Kate, I didn’t actually learn to speak any amount of elvish – just some of the more memorable pieces from the books. I’ve reread them to tatters.

    So I think come in near Shawn on the LOTR geek-meter – but he beats most of us hands down with his Linuxy accomplishments!

  3. Ok, Nathan. It was a link to an MP3 of Rodrigo Y Gabriela playing “Stairway to Heaven” on an acoustic guitar. I bet you’re disappointed. See, you should have let it remain a mystery. It was much cooler when you thought I was getting links to super secret government spy code and such, no?

    So HA. You have to refriend me. Or I’ll tell.

  4. And here I was trying doorsofdurin.com and west-door.com and west-gate.com and east-gate.com. One of those said I didn’t have authority or something, so I figured I needed the something.html to get in.

    Man was I off the target!

  5. Ok. Raise your hand if you ever taught yourself to write in Elvish runes. Because, well, that’s a useful skill to have, right?

    *looks around hopefully*
