An even better question is why one would post such an idiotic query.

Of course.

Of course not. They excrete beautifully perfumed amber teardrop jewels.
Sneaky dwarves have been known to mix up their semi-precious stones with elf
doodoo.

It is a perfectly reasonable question. Elvenkind are nearly angelic.
Would such elevated beings have fecal discharge that smelled bad. The
more general question is how carnal are the elves.

We can't know the answer to that because AFAIK Tolkien never addressed the issue.

I like Joy's answer, though.

well, i'll tell ya... despite some lack of the odor of the traditionally
scholarly (or perhaps not ;-> ), this may very well be a perfect post.

it is an unexplored subject, perhaps slightly offensive enough to the 'usual
suspects' to draw them in; and filled with the humor of the unrepentant non
sequetoriallist. it has appeal to the intellect, and the followup is a cry
in the night to your average logician.

it even made _me_ think. no mean bipedal appendages. <ouch! no, stop!>

and it doesn't have an answer, i don't believe. i think either answer is a
reflection of whatever desire we may have for anthropomorphizing the
elves...

i go wit' the other guy... joy's answer is probably the best -- or, anyway,
the one i'm most prepared to live with.

it did make me think, though. thank you kindly.

Don't know, but Strider sure stank.

In general, if one assumes that elves shat, then the next question is
where? Well, in the trees next to their beds probably. So if you are
walking the great forest one day and you see a sign with a
gender-specific elf icon on it, and an arrow pointing up, then don't
stand there too long....

on a gantry,
in the sh*t-tree

In the dwarves' case, they have a double problem. There are no bacteria
in the middle of the mountains (since there is little life there) and so
how will the waste decompose? Well they may have solved it by the same
means they solved the air and light problem, by digging long shafts to
the surface. Only these would slope downwards instead of upwards (like
air shafts.)

So if you are walking by a mountain one day and see a downward sloping
shaft in the mountainside, don't tarry under it and DONT look up into
it, ... you might find yourself being able to answer the question about
whether their stuff stinks or not.

in a mountain, aft,
he sh*t in the shaft.

Ok, I did not love the crude language of the Original Post. Butt Hey,
now I realize it gives me a place to submit some humor to the groups,
which otherwise I would have to turn summersaults and jump through a
series of flaming hoops at varying heights in order to pretend fits in
here. (Get it? Flaming? Ha. Ha. Ha.) As you can see, I only have to
jump through one or two hoops to fit this in here, and with any luck at
all, no body will set them ablaze while I am stuck in the middle.

So, Did the Healers at the Houses of Healing perform colonoscopies?
(Right. I know, but work with me on this one) And if so, what silly or
stupid comments would they have heard from their patients during the
procedure?

Your challenge: Using the above comments, translate the
tension-breaking ridiculousness of these comments into Gondorian humor.

And don't say I never gave you anything communicable.

Disrespectfully,
Affectionately yours,
Windy

A seond thought: "Stink" is highly subjective; not all cutlures will
think of it or define it in the same wys.

Gollum had two names given by Sam, Slinker and Stinker.


I think you should have two names too, Kolker, some of your mails sound
a lot like Russ's rants.

And whats more nobody else on a.f.t. writes 30 column ad hominems like
Russ does.

I am Bob. I do not know who this Russ is. I simply ask questions that no
one else would think of asking.

No it my mistake, I am wrong. They are not ad hominems, they are pithy
30 column sententious sentences. (Check dictionary.com for the meaning
of those words: http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=sententious.)

Full of meaning, bandwidth efficient. As long and narrow as a wizards

<snip>

I've seen this before. While the comments are hilarious, I don't think
it is authentic because:
A) Colonoscopies are almost always performed under sedation. The patient
is essentially asleep through the procedure.
B) The originator of this post could have been referring to flexible
sigmoidoscopies, which I do. These are performed without sedation, and I
have yet to see a patient in the frame of mind to be blurting out such
witticisms!!

No, I doubt the Herbmaster of Minas Tirith performed such procedures!

Hasan, look in Google groups for Bob Kolker and Robert Kolker, and you will
see that whatever he is, he's not Russ.

Well, if they performed them in Rivendell or Lorien, it would go far to
answer the question in another thread: does Elf shit stink?

The last shut is neccessary, or else the elves will stink.

No and so, no.
Elves didn't shit.
No one did in ME.
If they had potty breaks Tolkien would have told us.
He didn't say, so they didn't.
They didn't have zippers either.
