Their jobs today

[afro-elf]

what do you think the occupation of the characters in LOTR would be if they were around today?

examples

Gimli: ex-marine and current geologist

Legolas: star in one those " wild kingdom/ national geographic" t.v. shows

[Finmandos12]

Gollum- plumber
Elrond- librarian
Galadriel- Santa Claus

[Ñólendil]

No way man, Tom Bombadil has to be Santa Clause (or else the Knee-walking Turkey for Thanksgiving). Galadriel is the Virgin Mary. So they both get Christmas roles.

Aragorn should be King of England, I think.

[afro-elf]

inoldonil

i completely agree with you on tom.

BUT galadriel is not a virgin, is and maybe to willful for such a task, however she does have a divine aura about her



if they had "real" jobs maybe tom would be a very eccentric philantropist


Galadriel i need some time to think about it maybe
some type of charismatic dipolmat

maybe UN secretary general



as for aragorn if he was king of england he'd have no real power, however if you have heard tony blair speak in the last few weeks
prime minister of great britian would be right on target

i guess sam would still be a gardener

frodo would be well to do man of leisure and inherited wealth



boromir a commando


eomer a rancher

saruman a scientist


finmandos 12 i think your gollum is great and elrond is pretty good too

where is your signature from?

[Selwythe]

Sauron=Leader of Al-Queda

Mouth of Sauron=Taliban Leader

(nice metaphor with the mouth, no?)

Arwen=...Selma Blair? teehee. Maybe the Queen of England or the Queen Mother (I always remember Queen Mother after seeing graffiti on a park bench in London which gives a long essay on why you should f*censored* the Queen Mother)

Dunedain=US army (especially in WW1 and WW2, sitting there and watching the europeans and asians die on TV then finally mobilise when the war comes to them.)

Pippin will be an idiot who died in his childhood.

Faramir=Al Gore, seen but never heard

Eowyn=The first female commando. has a Clinton-Monica relationship with Faramir.

Gandalf=freak

[galadriel]

Gandalf=eccentric college professor

Sam=gardener. Some things never change.

Saruman=CEO of important, evil computer processor manufacturer. (Or is that Sauron? "One chip to rule them all, one chip to find them....")

Tom Bombadil=pub owner

Legolas=environmental activist. spends two years in a tree a la Julia Bird. although I must admit, I like the idea of him starring in a National Geographic show better.

Elrond=Buddhist scholar

Pippin=high school dropout, lead singer of unsuccessful rock band

Treebeard=character at theme park

[Finmandos12]

Ents- enviromental terrorists (they try to kill anyone who cuts down trees) :)

Radagast- Buddhist philospher (talks to animals)

Faramir- movie star

Galadriel- Santa Claus's wife (she has to give gifts Inoldonil) But she would be a good diplomat.

Sauron- Yasser Arafat

John 1:5 is my signature

[Ñólendil]

Golberry is a good Mrs. Clause. Can't Galadriel be the Easter Bunny or something?

[afro-elf]

i think faramir could be our colin powell.

a thoughtful, discerning man who is a statesman and a warrior

[galadriel]

How about Galadriel as the tooth fairy?

[Ñólendil]

Perfect!

[Bradistic]

I think Treebard would be an actor who plays trees in cheesy plays that have singing animals and plants and stuff.

Bill (the pony) would be a champion race horse and Sam would be his short statured jockey.

Gollum would be some creepy old homeless man who lives in the sewers of New York City. He only comes out at night to steal the jewelry (esp. rings) from some hapless passer by.

[easterlinge]

The Baggins Family would run a catering business.

The Tooks and the Brandybucks would run some kind of protection racket.

Celebrimbor would be working in Bell Labs on some new advanced alloy or superconductor. A lot of surviving Gwaith-i-Mirdain would be there as well, so if you see some stunningly handsome scientists there...... ;)

The Dwarves would be mining diamonds in South Africa and the Heir of Durin would be running the de Beers diamond cartel.

Some of the more talented Dwarves would be working in Bell Labs with Celebrimbor, so if you see some short, stocky, bearded scientists working alongside stunningly handsome scientists....... :D

Sauron would be running Bell Labs and other advanced research labs for his own secret ends. Also in charge of Area 51.

Thranduil would be running Greenpeace, with Treebeard as his campaign advisor.

[Finmandos12]

Sandyman would be the owner of a chemical plant that pollutes the enviroment.
The ents would run an illegal alcohol factory.

[afro-elf]

Eowyn = the 1st woman to GRAD from the CITADEL

Cirdan a ship mogul in norway


Pippin a host on MTV

Denethor and over the hill actor who loses it because his rival is the same age and looks half his age

[Elfmaster XK]

Gollum would make a really good spy. I mean he could climb the walls, hide increepy holes and corners and stael stuuf.

Or he could be a really bad jewlery salesman.

'I'll have that one please'

'NO!! You can't itssss mine, my preciousssss, mine!!!!'

'Look do you sell jewlery or what, can i have any of them? I want that one!'

'Preciousssssssss!!!!!' *launches self at customer and strangles them*

heheheh!!

[Elf Girl]

Sauron: jeweler.

[Faramir]

Frodo:Host TV show
Sam:Cook
Pippin:One of those guys who gives you tours of houses
Merry:Sell Tobacco
Boromir:Owner of Car Company
Aragorn:Guy with his own nature TV show(i.e.Crocodile Hunter)
Gimli:Military General
Legolas:Spy
Gandalf:College Proffeser
Gollum: Alcaholic in the sewers(give usss the Budlightsss!)
Arwen:Victoria Secret Model
Elrond:Secratary of State
Galadriel:Presidential Advisor
Theoden:Car Salesman
Saruman:Leader of counterfeiting ring
Sauron:Terrorist

[cassiopeia]

Arwen would probably own a sewing machine company. Saruman would be a scientist who experiments with genetics.

[Arathorn]

I'd imagine Bilbo to be a very rich person living off publications of his memoirs and the proceeds of his lawsuit against the Tolkien Estate for using them. He'd probably be a balloonist and the first hobbit ever to scale Everest.

[Elbereth Gilthoniel]

I think bilbo would be storyteller, I don't find the rest doing something in this world.......Saruman could be great saleman.
if someone said it sorry I didn't read all the replays.

No respect for the dead have you?

[Willow Oran]

These are hilarious! I think one of my classmates in middle school started writing a story based off of lord of the rings that actually did have microsoft as the villans and the One Computer Chip. Anyway, here's my two cents.

Arwen-Famous clothing designer
Aragorn-Actor who stars in a lot of action movies featuring secret agents.

Galadriel-U.S president
Celeborn-U.S vice president (They'd be better than the current ones:D )

Elrond- Headmaster at a very prestigious collage

Legolas- Counselor at a summer camp

Beren-A certain famous writer we all know and love
Luthien-A certain famous writer's wife

Earendil- Shackleton, you know that guy who made it to the south pole and back... I think I got the name right.

That's all I can think of right now.

[Eruviel Greenleaf]

Hey, that's good, Earendil would be Shackleton! :D

sorry if I repeat any. . .I know I am, oh well. . .
Arwen: clothing designer
Aragorn: British Prime minister and former Army general
Ents: environmental activists--not environmental terrorists
Legolas: environmental activist and mountain (or river) guide
Gandalf: college professor
Elrond: owner of a very fancy hotel
Sam: gardener and cook

[Christiana]

Legolas as an incredibly hot movie star:cool: :D

[Eruviel Greenleaf]

Doesn't quite fit his character, I'm afraid. He's too much of an out-doorsey type :eek:

[Arathorn]

I'm seeing Legolas as an X-gamer climbing walls. The weird thing is, everytime he slip, he yells Ai! Ai!

[Mirahzi]

Wall climbing is an X-treme sport? Seems a bit tame.. compared to rock climbing (Unless you mean the same thing)

Well, he'd probably be yelling Ai! Ai! cause of that wretched harness. ;)

[Eruviel Greenleaf]

Rock climbing is really fun, I can definitely see Legolas doing that. :D And river rafting, and ice climbing and. . .birdwatching! :D

[Tar-Elendil]

sam-obviously a gardener
pippin and merry- a standup comedic team
gandalf-retired

[Nienna Grey]

I think Bilbo should be the presenter of a kids' TV show, he'd do great, reading stories etc.

Galadriel could be a psychiatrist. Her ability to see into people's minds would be an asset.

Sam could present a gardening show on TV.

Saruman would be the kind of genetic scientist who gets labelled "mad" by the media and attracts headlines such as "It shouldn't be allowed".

Gandalf could be a priest.

Ëowyn could be an instructor of ladies' self defence classes.

Arwen could be a model.
