I am still not sure if this is sweet or scary....

Anguirel, Mormegil and Gurthang are of course all swords.

However, Anguirel is a Toledo rapier, Mormegil is a broadsword and Gurthang (sorry the avatar makes me think of you as a practical joker) is one of those stage swords you can pretend to stab people with... or maybe a cutlass.

Wilwarin is antique lace

Lalaith (of course) is a skylark

And I now (for equally obvious reasons) envisage Mith as resembling the late and much lamented Kirsty McColl...

I am so glad you didn't say Ray Davies

Now would I do that...

well I am even more glad I didn't plump for a "Fairy tale of New York" quote and open up the possibility of Shane McGowan.....

Well, I guess I have to throw water on the flame warriors, but to be honest, I just cannot see any of those really fitting well any of our Downers.

I can see some ways in which SpM has some of those characteristics, but that doesn't begin to cover all his traits. There's a great deal of davem in this one, too, but, again, it doesn't quite come to terms with some of his other traits, which of course doesn't begin to include his other tendancy. See what I mean?

Then there's The Barrow Wight's various styles as his image as one to be feared but also just a little bit of this too.

I see myself slightly mixed between this one . this one , this one and this one . I know, hard to believe, eh?

There's a bit of truth about Eomer here, but not enough of his sense of humour. And there is a slight resemblance here of Boro88 but hardly enough to do justice to his profound rhetorical skills.

See what I mean? I think it does a grave disservice to account us Downers as anything ressembling such stereotypes. We are beyond caricature, I say!

(ran out of time--so many more I could have discussed as being inapplicable without in any way assuming allegorical reference!)

Although he doesn’t follow the description given on the website, I like to imagine this is what The Barrow Wight looks like;
