Want to invent your own ending of the Fordim-Mithalwen duel in this thread? You can now buy the aptly-called Fordim-Mithalwen action figures set, complete with the infamous gauntlet, plus pistols and swords to choose from...and create an alternate dialogue! With a free gardening set, should your Mithalwen still decide to resort to gardening! (You can use the gauntlet for that purpose instead.)

And since it is the holiday season, you get a free luke10_27...I mean mark12_30 doll to serve as overseer-slash-cheerer!

This one quite appeals (despite the feminist misgivings) Just 2 alternative outfits - I rather see myself in a duelling costume ala Onegin ..... black is so flattering and a nice long frock coat would be good

... the gardening clothes would be rather less elegant... so Mith might give up on the dedication to a life of non-violence...

? I don't have that many clothes...... And while the feminist streak revulses against being depicted as a DOLL even in jest ... I can promise that owners of a Mithalwen Doll would never be able to find its shoes In combination with Lalwende ? - flattering (save that I would be the big clumsy figure in comparison)and might just stop me being remaindered- but what a lot of wild red hair!!!!! Actually think I would have to be more of an inaction figure or a cuddly toy. And if Lal is accessorized with a packet of fags I would need a bottle of Merlot... Eat your hearts out Patsy and Edina... the Mithalwen figure would have a repertoire of flippant remarks and performance would be generally erratic...

How do you know I wouldn't be the clumsy one? With all that red hair the dolls would have to be packaged with a hair brush, and some camomile tea to calm them down!

Or they could even come packaged with a Moderator figure to stop them talking off-topic too much...

Because of my unimaginitive and confusing screenname, I think that most kids would be disappointed when purchasing the Eomer of the Rohirrim figure.

Something along the lines of; "But I wanted the hot blonde one..."

I do have the proper Eomer action figure. He stands on my desk looking lordly.

Mithalwen · 12-19-2004, 02:11 PM

Lal - I am a major league klutz - I ran myself over once, that is hard to beat! Andsomeone suggested that I needed Chrysanthemum tea to calm my fiery temper in line with the principles of Chinese medicine - it was righteous anger I swear

Eomer - we all know you are completely irresistable ... and we know your doll would be dressed in a kilt..

I do have the Legolas doll - was going to fire his little arrows at people who annoyed me at work... oh the joys of an open plan office

How?! Did you leave the handbrake off with the engine running? I call myself an 'oaf' because I'm so clumsy and messy. The Lalwende action figure would have to come complete with highly detailed dinner medals; only last week I sent half a plate of salad flying up the wall in a restaurant. This is why I mainly wear black.

Mithalwen · 12-19-2004, 02:58 PM

No the engine wasn't running at the time......

Black does mark though ... scarves are good..... I now never drink coffee at interviews having had to practically wash a shirt at Southampton station once. Fortunately it was silk and the interview was in Bath...on a rare hot day..

The Eomer of the Rohirrim action figure would have a wry smile and be programmed to come out with witty one-liners.

Stalkers sold seperately.

With teaspoon-conjuring action!

My action figure sounds quite good actually. Plus, all those add-ons would be quite expensive, resulting in many royalties for me.

I would definitely buy the Kransha action figure for my mother, because she enjoys poetry, and this figure would spout lovely poetry all day. There would be two buttons on his back, one for nice rhymes, and another for the more disturbing variety. Come to think of it, parental guidance would be necessary.

There's a new addition to this set: the Gnomish Gauntlet. Scandalised by Fordim's revival of hot issues? Use the Gauntlet to force him to reveal his ulterior motive.

This is stupid. There's no connexion between the gauntlet and the motive.

I know. But it's fun to fill in the blanks.

Your life.

Barrow-Downs Faction Badges - these will clearly indicate your loyalties in the Balrog Wings/Elven Ears debates. For those who are Pro-Wing, their badge will be like RAF Wings, except instead of being Albatross wings they will be blackened leathery Balrog wings; this is to be worn on the left shoulder. For those who are Anti-Wing they can actually get away without purchasing anything, because as in the debate, the badge will be purely metaphorical. The merest suggestion of a badge-pin hole in the lapel will suffice

The Ears Faction Badges will feature either a pointy or a non-pointy ear. Pro-Ear fanatics of course can buy an actual ear which they can wear proudly on their lapel; this will clearly indicate that not only are they Pro-Ear but they have also been driven quite mad with the debate and are under no circumstances to be approached.
