Empty-headed subjugated breeder. Might as well be a blimmin rabbit.

Celuien has just left Hobbiton.
++ MOON-DOG

Alien dogs and alien Kings of Faerie. This show has far too many bizarre extraterrestrials. As my efforts to evict Alf seem doomed for the present, I'm switching to his alien colleague until conditions improve for my true target's removal.

(PS Cats are far more adorable. )

Decisions. Decisions.

Well, + + The Parson
for the rather illogical reason that I keep
picturing him as the churchmen in the
musical Oliver (at the beginning of
the Artful Dodger's"Consider Yourself at Home"
song, who hop up and down leaving the church).

(And isn't it sad Jack Wild passed away recently
at age 53). http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0928349/

Thumbs up <-- Thumb's up, looking for a bandwagon to hitch a ride...

That adorable kitty picture decides it for me - I'm going to jump on your bandwagon, Celuien, for though I have a dog who faithfully gets me out and walking every day, Moon-dogs are something completely different.

++Moon-dog

Sorry to have missed the vote yesterday, but mine would have made 6 against that insufferable wizard who really needed to go. Glad to see him gone.

++ MOON DOG

Don't think there are any fire hydrants on the moon, so this will put him out of his misery.

Why, thank you!

Though I prefer cats, I like dogs - other than the one that tore my sled to bits while I was riding it and threatened to do the same to me. And indeed, this Moon-dog is no true canine. A good dog wouldn't flightily flee to the Moon, but would loyally remain on solid ground.

I'll have to side with Celuien (no thanks to her hate-motivated campaign against poor Alf) and vote:

++ Moon Dog

The first reason being: I was going to vote that way anyway, so I'm not really siding with Cel anyways.

The second reason being: Well, we already evicted most of the other dogs on not much reasoning, might as well finish another off.

The third being there was only enough room for one "Moon" character in this challenge - The Man In-the-Moon - who's long since gone.

And lastly, "Moon" has such a negative connotation these days...

Back to my usual routine

++Ćgidius Ahenobarbus Julius Agricola de Hammo (Farmer Giles of Ham)

For the excessively grand name and his anakronistic blunderbuss. And also for issuing a law against unpleasant prophecy once he became king. Unpleasant prophecies are very useful. If you hear a prophecy telling that, say, your city is about to be besieged for ten years, then you'll have time to gather enough food before your enemies arrive. Or if a disastrous earthquake is predicted, you'll know that you should evacuate. Forbidding these prophecies is a dangerous thing!

So down with the blunderbuss-toting, Latin-named, forbidder of useful warnings!

Hmm. We have two choices with collars, a dog and a parson. Perhaps I can add reasons a bit more flamboyant for defrocking the Parson. How does this sound: For the unconscionable faux pas of spilling beer and, even more, for being such a straight-faced parson in announcing the name of a sword that is almost as saturated with innuendo as Lord Halfulion's sword in REB.

++ The Parson

++Moon-dog.

In the movie Gidget, there was a character called Moon-doggy. I thought the movie stunk, so I'm getting back at it.
