Lament for the Elves

[Amanaduial the archer]

In a spoof, every little thing has potential to be exaggerated. For example, in a few of the spoofs I have seen, Gandalph's pronunciation of Mordor has been played upon (so that every time he says it he has to take a huge breath before and then say "Morrrrrrrr*gasp*dorrrrrr"; as the spoof carried on, this just continued to get longer and longer). This is because someone has obviously picked up upon the fact that in the films, Ian Mckellan does, on several occasions, elongate the 'r' sound in Mordor, and it is perfect to play on. And as just about anyone who has seen the films is aware, Orlando Bloom does possess "boyish good looks", as do "the chorus line" (thank you, Saucepan ), and this is perfect to play upon in a spoof.

Begod, the man is a psychic! Ahead of your time indeed, sir!
