Seeing that we have come to a standstill, I think someone should post a new question.

the other omylouse "multiply (1*6) by (6*1+0+3)!" Posted Jan 20, 2002
but who?
i got 1... how many books did J R R Tolkien produce?
bonus Q- what does the JRR stand 4? (without looking it up! 
)
Fed up of waiting!!!
Clelba Posted Jan 20, 2002

because that's all i can think of. but it's probably more.

the first question depends on wether we are counting the Lord of the Rings (and the Simmarillion(or whatever)) as one book not the three they were divided into? 
(not that i know the answer or anything)

Argon0 (50 and feeling it - back for a bit) Posted Jan 20, 2002
Sly Srallo ne was the correct Answer!!! So well done - I'm afraid that I've been busy updating the Myth....
Other books
Hmm
Silmarrilion
Hobbit
Farmer Giles of Ham
Do Unfinished Tales Count?

Now I'm really scratching my old head wondering why Sly Stallone is the answer to Argonzo's question? 
Can someone explain it please.
And I guess Poli (good guess!) would win the honour of the next question even if it was a 'guess - for no apparent reason'. 
And shouldn't we count JRRT's academic works as books published as well? OK OK I'm being pedantic, I know you meant just the fiction.

Bagpuss Posted Jan 20, 2002
6 books (guess)
I know what JRR means, though: John Ronald Reuel.

Confused?
The Ghost of Polidari Posted Jan 21, 2002
Now I'm not sure whether I'm asking a question or not? Or are we doing the Tolkien one?
Ummmmmmm...???
Confused?
the other omylouse "multiply (1*6) by (6*1+0+3)!" Posted Jan 21, 2002
u can ask a question if u want. the Tolkien 1 was really to fill the time til we knew who was right.
John Ronald Reuel is correct, tho i get a diff no of books 4 him. (im not including those publishd by his son after his death or 'The Road Goes Ever On' as that was mainly Donald Swann)
Confused?
The Ghost of Polidari Posted Jan 21, 2002
Nice simple one then :
Who's middle names are 'Frequent Flyer'?
Flying high?
Marjin, After a long time of procrastination back lurking Posted Jan 21, 2002
Governor Holden
Republicans: Gov. Holden Is Frequent Flyer
Critics Charge Holden Uses State Plane Every Other Day
KANSAS CITY, Mo., 7:23 p.m. CDT June 25, 2001 -- Missouri Gov. Bob Holden may be getting a new nickname: the flying governor.
Flying high?
The Ghost of Polidari Posted Jan 22, 2002
Ummmmm.
Anyway, if nobody guesses (or remembers, hint) in a few more hours I'll start giving clues....
Flying high?
~ jwf ~ scribblo ergo sum Posted Jan 22, 2002
OK, clues.
Is it really "Frequent Flyer" or is that phrase a translation from some other language? I mean it's possible that somebody has a foreign name like 'Alphonso Aerial Mucho Gardini' or some such...
I really thought Marjin had it won and I gave up.
So clues, yeah.
peace

Didn't Tony Blair get complaints he is more out of the country than at home?
