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!

Whoa... *looks at LMP's avatar* *consults book* I never realized before that was Smith of Wooton Major. Where did you get a colored version? The one in my copy is... not colored.

PS - Have you tested this association in my personality test?

I have a book on which it's colored. And mark12_30 was kind enough to help me get that avatar; otherwise I still wouldn't have one.

Okay. Now I get it.

Easy test to get the result you want, by the by.....

What's a Girabbit got to do with a pocket edition story anyhow?

I feel somewhat unqualified to participate in this edition since I'm only familiar with the Bombadil characters. But, um, well, it seems that I have a common interest with Elempi since Diamond's test says that I'm a Smith.

Giraffe-rabbits are disturbing.

I will take the ring, though I do not know... oops, I mean, I will join the crusade to save the title character of one of my favorite works, Smith of Wootton Major. Down with long-necked mutations!

A decidedly anti-royalty trend formed on day fifteen, and an angry mob, sounding the war drums in light of a continued attack on the Smith, summarily ousted the elven lass:

Princess Mee: 6 votes

Smith of Wootton Major: 2 votes

King Augustus Bonifacius: 2 votes

And so, Princess Mee was sent to live with her wicked step-mother, who hired a woodsman to cut out her self-absorbed little elven heart.

Day the Sixteenth finds 31 contestants remaining:

Farmer Giles of Ham

Ægidius Ahenobarbus Julius Agricola de Hammo (Farmer Giles of Ham)
Gram, his dog
King Augustus Bonifacius
Chrysophylax Dives
The Miller
The Parson
Sunny Sam (Fabricius Cunctator) The Blacksmith

Smith of Wootton Major/Leaf By Niggle

Master Cook Rider
Alf the Prentice, King of Faerie
Smith of Wootton Major
Nell
Queen of Faerie
Niggle

The Adventures of Tom Bombadil (Poems)

Goldberry
Badger
Old Man Willow
The Barrow-wight
Goodman Maggott
Fíriel

Roverandom

Roverandom
The Wizard Artaxerxes
Mew, the Seagull
Moon-dog
Mer-dog
Uin, the Whale

Mr. Bliss

Mr. Day
Archie
Teddy
Bruno
Herbert Dorkins
