Like so.

...what? You were kind of rude in the books forum when I first came here.

++Mewlips

For being generally evil, and as a last ditch effort to start a bandwagon against the Mewlips and save Niggle.

+ + Mewlips

I bet they caterwaul too, the miserable creatures.

Voting early on the twelfth day was wide spread, then it seemed for a time that Niggle would get the boot for being too much like the Formen man. But two late votes saved the absent minded painter and ousted the dread creatures of the swamp:

The Mewlips: 3 votes

Niggle: 2 votes

The Wizard Ataxerxes: 1 vote

Girabbit: 1 vote

And so, the Mewlips' valley was fumigated, decontaminated, detoxified, flooded, and sprayed with industrial strength RAID until the Mewlips were effectly wiped out.

*sniff*

Diamond is sad. I can't help it, that's my favorite Tolkien poem.

Nooooo! I will have my revenge!

To everyone who thought the Mewlips were really cool and besides responsible role models: arise! Oaths ye have taken!

Let's start getting the cloud-headed goody-goodies.

Darn! If only I had been around yesterday, I could at least have sent that self-absorbed, muddle-headed incompetent, Niggle, packing along with the sorely lamented Mewlips.

I shall rally to your banner. Wooly-headed Faerie dreamers beware!

+ + SMITH OF WOOTON MAJOR

And, should we succeed in this task, may I humbly suggest Niggle for tomorrow?

Two votes against Smith of Wootton Major!?

As you can see from my avatar, I take this rather personally....

.... and will fight tooth and nail for this gentle soul's survival. Besides which, votes for such an innocent soul seem rather (ahem) diabolical to me.

TO ME!! TO ME!! ALL YOU GOOD SOULS WHO WOULD SPARE THE LIFE OF THE GOOD SMITH!!!! LET US OUST THE OUSTER OF OUR GOOD SMITH!!! TO ME!! TO ME!!

++ Girabbit

Surely a good alternative.

Oh, by the way, if the diabolical anti-Smith of Wootton Major contingent succeeds today, I must perforce consider my stint in this game at an end since I identify with the good fellow so closely; I would be symbolically dead, and would thus have to symbolically be dead to this thread. (hee hee it even rhymed) So help save me, please!
