Yay! People, reread the books and watch carefully for the
double-entendres - the TC is gathering material - great work, Deb!

Today's mission: Compile a list of innuendos, double-entendres, and
otherwise subtextually Tilde passages from LOTR. Provide quotation
and chapter.
This list will most likely appear on a Tilde Club website, to be
established by this Tilde-wielding Jedi Dominatrix at some time in the
future.
I begin the Tilde Passage list with my favorite:
"And I hope my Sam's behaved hisself and given satisfaction?"
"Perfect satisfaction, Mr. Gamgee," said Frodo.

It's been said before, but I still have a fond place in my heart for
Galadriel's words at the River (_Fellowship_, "Farewell to Lorien", p. 392
hardback):
"'It is said that the skill of the Dwarves is in their hands rather
than in their tongues,' she said; 'yet that is not true of Gimli.'"

this one.)

Also from TT:
"The horn of Boromir!" he cried. "He is in need!"
- The Departure of Boromir
"We mean," said Pippin, choosing his words carefully, "that it's no good
groping in the dark. We could save you time and trouble. But you must
untie our legs first..."

[Sam to Galadriel:] 'I'll have a peep, Lady, if
you're willing.'
- FotR, The Mirror of Galadriel
[Aragorn:] 'This night we must all be sleepless!'
- FotR, The Great River
[Boromir:] 'So small a thing! And I have seen it
only for an instant in the House of Elrond. Could
I not have a sight of it again?'
Frodo looked up. His heart went suddenly cold. He
caught the strange gleam in Boromir's eyes, yet
his face was still kind and friendly. 'It is best
that it should lie hidden,' he answered.

TT, Book IV, Ch. 3 (slightly edited): "Wait a bit, Gollum!" cried Sam.
"I'm going to be at your tail, and I've got the rope handy!"
op. cit. : "All you wish is to see it and touch it, if you can, though
you know it would drive you mad". (Frodo)

Cold fear was in Pippin's heart, yet at the same time he was wondering what
use he could make of Grishnakh's desire. 'I don't think you will find it
that way,' he whispered. 'It isn't easy to find.' '_Find it_?' said
Grishankh: his fingers stopped crawling and gripped Pippin's shoulder. 'Find
what? What are you talking about, little one?'

[Bergil:] 'I wager I could stand you on your

'Maybe you could, if I let you,' said Pippin
with a laugh. 'And maybe I could do the same

I thought one from The Hobbit (Chapter 2, Roast
mutton) might not go amiss, as well:
'That leaves you just ten minutes. You will have
to run,' said Gandalf.
'But -,' said Bilbo.
'No time for it,' said the wizard.
'But -,' said Bilbo.
'No time for that either! Off you go!'

Gandalf's eyes flashed. 'It will be my turn to get angry soon, ' he said.
'If you say that again, I shall. Then you will see Gandalf the Grey
uncloaked.' He took a step towards the hobbit, and he seemed to grow tall
and menacing; his shadow filled the little room.
Bilbo backed away to the wall, breathing hard, his hand clutching his
pocket. They stood for a while facing one another, and the air of the room
tingled. Gandalf's eyes remained bent on the hobbit. Slowly his hands
relaxed, and he began to tremble.

The one I was looking for. With our two beloved hobbits:
"At that moment there was a knock on the door, and Sam came in. He ran
to frodo and took his left hand, awkwardly and shyly. He stroked it
gently and then he blushed and turned hastily away."

<melting> I know! It's just the sweetest scene in the Book, it
corresponds to the Weathertop scene in the Bakshi film :)
And that brings up the new film issue... I just HATE the idea of my two
fav hobbits being played by actors I have seen before - jeez, the Rudy
kid and the Flipper kid - disaster!
I wish I had two robots and that Fritz Lang machine to materialise *my*
Frodo and Sam... they would ROCK!

Lack of reference: I saw some fragments of the Bakshi film some time ago (I
slept on it!; A late night TV showing...), but I don't remember much.

According to Ingolwen, it is Elvish for the same (or similar). Althoug maybe
he is having a joke on me. I could change it to:
"Call me Lingamwa"
using the same letters. (Good thing you put the tilde on, dear ;-)

"Kuduk Sutra," whispered Frodo, lighting a candle. "Kuduk Sutra."
"Kuduk Sutra," repeated Sam, leaping into the bed.

Finally got around to looking up some of my all time favorites. One
might subtitle this: the effects of a Catholic upbringing upon the
author's imagination.
"And sometimes his right hand would creep to his breast, clutching,
and then slowly, as the will recovered mastery, it would be
withdrawn." -- Mount Doom
" 'Help me, Sam! Help me, Sam! Hold my hand! I can't stop it.' Sam
took his master's hands and laid them together, palm to palm, and
kissed them; and then he held them gently between his own." -- Mount
Doom
" 'I didn't ought to have left my blanket behind,' muttered Sam; and
lying down he tried to comfort Frodo with his arms and body." --
Mount Doom
"And I hope my Sam's behaved hisself and given satisfaction?"
"Perfect satisfaction, Mr. Gamgee," said Frodo.

"Then you two shall go into a corner and finish your task, and we will hear
it
and judge it before we end our merrymaking." (In the house of Elrond)
And this one's pretty bad:
"He entered behind Haldir, and found that he was in a chamber of oval shape,
in the midst of which grew the trunk of the great mallorn, now tapering
towards
its crown, and yet making still a pillar of wide girth." (In Lothlorien)
