The Rest of the Story...

Quote:
In the spring of SY 1402 [Lalia's] clumsy attendant let the heavy chair run over the threshold and tipped Lalia down the flight of steps into the garden. So ended a reign and life that might well have rivalled that of the Great Took.
It was widely rumoured that the attendant was Pearl (Pippin's sister) though the Tooks tried to keep the matter within the family. At the celebration of Ferumbras' accession the displeasure and regret of the family was formally expressed by the exclusion of Pearl from the ceremony and feast.
Now you should know better than to listen to rumours, TGWBS! After all, wasn't it a short time later in that same letter that we are told Pearl appears later, wearing her name-jewels, restored to whatever honor she lost during this "time of rumour-mongering?" Even her family believed her and exonerated her, and no one ever proved anything!

Cheers!
Lyta (not quite the Took family historian)

YAY ALCARRILO! Sam only needs one more vote to tie with people! Come on, folks! You can do it!

Lyta, I think you should vote for Frodo out of the two you mentioned. Frodo's much cooler than Pippin, and Pippin has enough votes...really...vote for Frodo. He's quite worthy of it.
Mormegil...Frodo was only Middle Earth's biggest whiner in the movie. If you press your point of thinking him an extreme whiner, I'll have to give you the essay I wrote a couple years ago in defense of him.
Besides, in voting for Sam, we should be willing for people to vote for Frodo. Sam's greatest characteristic is his utter faithfulness to Frodo and others. We should not dislike the hobbit he was most faithful to. Does that make any sense?

Pipe Merry, Merry, he's so merry

Merry all the way. He's the most sensible Hobbit out of the duo (himself and Pip). He's smart, funny, outgoing, a little stubborn (which reminds me of myself ), has leadership skills and so many other outstanding qualities. I really admire him, especially for injuring the Witch King. In other words, YOU'RE MY HERO MERRY!!!!!!!!! And lots not forget idol, he's my idol as well.
