Of course ...precisely ...I was gonna say the same thing.
 
BTW: exciting news of your bass. A beautiful journey comes to an end ...well ...let me rephrase that ...is going te start.
 
Paul the bad one
 
PS 1: Beware for Orks. Can't you put together a fellowship to get the bass??
 
PS2 : for Senior Management 'LANG ZAL ZE LEVEN, LANG ZAL ZE LEVEN, LANG ZAL ZE LEVEN IN DE GLORIA, IN DE GLORIAAAAAAA, IN DE GLOOOO-RIIIIII-AAAAAAA! H - H- H ....
 
(you see ...I can write unundestandable beautiful things too ...but they are meant!!!

Oh NOOOooo,
A Fellowship Of The stRINGs. I'm 5'7, so I probably can't be a Hobbitses. We've already got some elves. Maybe a dwarf. Anyway, Happy Birthday to Ken's upper echelon. Don't go spelunking on your quest, the Balrog lives under the Interstate.
Mike
 
P.S. Go Paul tbo Go! Only 23 more posts and you can join Jubilee. Is the crystal in your palm red yet?

> I'm 5'7, so I probably can't be a Hobbitses.
 
maybe tricksy hobbitses that have drunk from Treebeard's supply?

Orks?  I'm still trying to deal with the image of a penguin in bondage.  I'll need therapy to get that visual out of my head.
 
Congratulations Ken, Friday you'll go from TEO to TSO.  Have a great weekend and happy birthday to the boss!

Congratulations on the bass (even if you don't have it yet), and congratulations to senior management! Can't wait to see pictures of Erin-Oromion posted!And I don't know about penguins in bondage, its the Balrogs under the Interstate that bother me; that's at least 10 steps up from trolls under bridges and makes alligators in the sewers look like, well, alligators in the sewers (I've had a long day...I think I'll go and lie down....)
 
All the best
Shaun
 
ps Ken,is your Languages of Middle Earth book still available? I've got an Introduction to Elvish, but would be interested to find more stuff (although most of it is probably on the net now anyway).

Just trying to be helpful.  Is this it?

Dave and Shaun,
 
(sorry for the slow response. Take 1 day off of work, and you get BURIED!!!)
That's the book! I bought mine in the early 80's, so it's probably been updated a little since then. That last quote was actually a quote from Turin Turambar to his host, with him saying The night is ending! and the host responding  The daylight comes!
 
I'm still waiting for Valentino to call me back to confirm my pickup tomorrow, but I'm sure he's pretty swamped. I'll give him 5 more minutes...

Dave and Ken, thanks for the quick response! I was just about to sign out after browsing e-bay (you know how it is..)and thought I'd see if anyone had posted anything; will try and get asap. Talk about support...how cool is this club???
 
Cheers

Alright Fellowship members,
 
Head over to the Showcase section, under Rogue to see some of what Mica refers to as rough photos of the new baby.

[kenbass4]

Mica,
 
What can I say, but...WOW!!!!
(and the finish hasn't even hit it yet)

A short retrospective (or look what pics Mica found):  

 One of the bass before the top was glued on  

 And one of Kris chiseling the fit for the bookmatch to center.

[kenbass4]

Thanks again, Mica!
 
Boy, this is great. I send you an e-mail, even if it has nothing to do with begging for updates, and I get pictures!!

Hey all!
 
I know it's been awhile since we were discussing this, but I think I've got the name for my bass figured out. I was originally thinking Eldarion, which means Of the Elves especially after this month's featured custom proclaimed what I have always believed (that the Alembic employees are, in fact, elves) but then I remembered that that was Aragorn and Arwen's son's name. Then I remembered Mike's suggestion and decided to name it Erin-Oromion Wood of Orome The wood for the top is definately worthy of Valar quality.
 
Ken (TEO)

[bracheen]

Aragorn and Arwen had a son?  I don't remember that.  I'll have to read the trilogy again.
 
Ken, that bass is going to be awesome!  I know you are The Eager One.

[kenbass4]

Sam,
 
Like I told Paul TBO, you'll have to check out the appendacies in Return of the King. Aragorn was the ripe age of 242 years old when he passed the crown of Gondor on to Eldarion. They also had two daughters IIRC.
