Well, I figured out the "end of the bag" part. But as for the rest...

Is it something to do with Ted Sandyman?

Nope. And to be fair, the original is a little tricksy!

I think I know what this is, but I don't want to have to find another quote! :D It's from the Hobbit.

I've got it! And this is what the Translation Party gave me when I ran the quote through it:
Quote:
Drowning, his friend was alive, he was buried to draw water from their lives behind me. I went to the end of the bag are not included in the bag.

Here's the new one:
Quote:
The minimum value is at least three, please do not love me.
:LMAO:

No. The meaning was totally changed, but the clues are: three, love, and a different word for "minimum".

Hmm was it something like "There go three I love, and the smallest not least?" (Paraphrasing)

This one's easy to guess, but I like how it screwed up the sentiment completely!
Quote:
Well, finally here, dear friends, come the end of our fellowship in the East Sea coast. The Peace and GO! Call me! : Say. Tears are all bad.

:LMAO: Way too easy, but funny, as you say!

"Well, here at last dear friends, on the shores of the Sea comes the end of our fellowship in Middle-earth. Go in peace! I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil."

Can I have a go now..please???

tbh, I took out the "said XXX" in the middle of the phrase, because it made it too obvious.

Omitting it made the actual equilibrium so crazy I’m not sure you’ll have a chance, but here it is:
Quote:
I Gondor, Hagozaimashitara Eriaeomeru often beautiful? Low
I think this earlier translation is funnier, and may help you get it, so peek if you need a hint!
Quote:
Cheap for the most beautiful areas of Gondor to you,, Hagozaimashitara Éomer I Do not!

I think we need a hint - I can't figure it out, even with the name of Éomer in the earlier translation.
