If that's the choice...

++Glorfindel

You've got a pretty awesome horse, and you're one of my favorite Elves, but you're a casualty in the war to keep Eowyn around. Besides... once you've been killed, you couldn't stay that way, could you? No, you turn up again in the following ages.

All you sexists trying to get rid of Eowyn, as if she isn't cooler than Galadriel any day! You all don't mind Galadriel because she's more feminine, but Eowyn? Chuck her off the island, you say!

Sexist you say !

No not at all, but Eowyn comids Impersonation fraud. She do not obey her king . She leave her people leader less. (weakens there defense) She is Selfish and she is envious because of the attencion Galadriel gets from Gimli

And don't forget how awful it is to spell her name.

I have no problems with Glorfindel in himself - a perfectly respectable and really quite dashing scion of the admittedly obscure House of the Golden Flower.

But since that cinematic replacement by a female at the Ford, he has become the poster-boy of a certain reactionary and unwholesome kinder-kirche-kuche element of the Tolkien fanbase.
I am frankly very surprised to find mormegil of all people as a cheerleader of this kind of misogynistic piffle. But while I salute the gallant Glorfindel, I must vote against him for what he has come, I am sure against his own wisely elven wishes, to represent.

Gurthang: Well, our two candidates are both collecting votes in no time flat! It looks like this campaign is pretty close, in fact, I'm not sure who's ahead at the moment. I think I'll call my color man and see how it's going out in the field: Gnahtrug, how's it look out there?

Gnahtrug: Well, Gurthang, it is a very close race. Both Glorfindel and Eowyn have gotten numerous votes. Let's see... Divine Bovine! It looks like it's a tie! At the moment the voting stands:

Glorfindel - 4
Eowyn - 4

Boy this is really a close one! I hope somebody breaks this tie really quickly!

Gurthang: Well, I'm not going to do that! But I will add another opponent to the stack:

++Galadriel

For being a prissy, stuck-up, pointy-eared, old elf-queen! (And to avoid being called a sexist or a womanizer.

)

Formendacil · 10-08-2005, 08:33 PM

++Galadriel

Of the three "big names" today, she's my least favourite. Eowyn, I will agree with Firefoot, has her totally beat in the coolness factor, and Glorfindel is the most cool Elf in the 3rd Age. Period.

So, this being a "reality" show, one must vote off the least cool. Bye, 'Laddie!

Gurthang and Formendacil we may need your vote to keep Glorfindel. If we loose him due to one or two votes I will hold you both responsible and take you to task for it
