++Perry-the-Winkle

Yeah, what she says.

(I'll be doing this until I've read some of the minor works.)

The second round of voting found more wide-spread opinions on who should go, but only one contestant became the victim of collaberation.

Perry-the-Winkle: 2 votes

The Sea-serpent: 1 vote

Mr. Binks: 1 vote

Mr. Parish: 1 vote

Princess Mee: 1 vote

Mer-dog: 1 vote

And so, Perry-the-Winkle was butchered and his copious amounts of fat were made into butter and spread onto bread. Thus the Poems Tribe took yet another hit.

Day the Third finds 49 remaining contestants:

Farmer Giles of Ham

Ægidius Ahenobarbus Julius Agricola de Hammo (Farmer Giles of Ham)
Gram, his dog
The Giant from the Wild Hills
King Augustus Bonifacious
Chrysophylax Dives

++Sea-serpent.

You woke Ulmo up and now he's cranky. Thanks for sending a hurricane to Middle-Earth.

++Fattie Dorkins

Poor guy, his name is Fattie Dorkins. Imagine how the schoolkids must tease him! He must be traumatized, having the silliest name on the island. I can just imagine the Latin and Greek named characters picking on him. So he doesn't get too depressed, I'm voting him off the island and back to civilization where he can change his name to something more dignified.

Alcarillo has unwittingly revealed a shocking
bit of bigotry by JRRT, to wit, his anti-large people
agenda. (Fattie Dorkins, Fatty Lumpkin, Fatty Bolger-
the noblest hobbit of them all). But then again
they are his works, so:
+ + Fattie Dorkins

And let's hope there's no elf singing of
Fat people got no right to live.

... which you are condoning by voting for the fat one.

+ + MR PARISH

... again. I never liked the chap. He treated Niggle abysmally.

He usurped the throne, he was nothing more than the pawn of a dragon!! Why do we need him?
