The polka is a dance.

And "doing", at least in the context I was using it in, means "having sex with". :-X

*Is tempted to fall into the gutter as well, but resists*

Actually, the elves bred their own horses and such, and the ones they bred were reknowned to be even better trained than the Rohirric horses, due to a bit of that subtle elven magic put into training them and whatnot... Lemme see if I can find the thing I read that at...

"... Men and Elves bred their own Horses to their needs, but it is said that the nobler breeds were descended from Nahar, [the steed of Oromë, the Hunstman of the Valar] and these were white or silver-grey, long-lived and fleet, and they understood the languages of Elves and Men. Most famous of the High Elven Horses was one named Rochallor. This was the warhorse that Fingolfin, most valiant of the Noldor kings, rode in his great ill-fated duel with Morgoth the Enemy..."

Then it talks a bit about the Mearas of Rohan, and then...

"...There were other breeds of Horses in various parts of Middle-earth, where Men, Elves and some other races - both good and evil - took them into service..."

I seem to remember reading something more specific about it, but still, I think that proves the point. I <3 my Tolkien Encyclopedia.

Well done on your elven lore, but I was referring to Elves in celtic mythology.

And eh at 18 I do know I was simply poking fun!

Perfect, Fallohide! I love trivia like that. It's so helpful when I rp. I didn't remember anything from the Lord of the Rings except for the part that talks about elves not using saddles or anything. You should post a thread "Tolkien Trivia, or Helpful little known facts" or something.;)
