'Celery'*, eh? Reminds me of an Entish Bow character once upon a time...


*It's 'Kelery', not 'Selery', of course.

Yes, that's what makes it so amusing. At first you just read it, thinking it's a typical Elvish name, but then you think "Hey, wait a minute...."

Oh, definitely.

And that cartoon raises an interesting question- do Wights have souls? Or Phantoms, for that matter?

One would assume that if the person in question were already a Wight or a Phantom, their Soul would already have been sold [to the devil]. Which is another reason why I found the comic strip so amusing this week.

For the life of me I just cannot understand how this illustrious gathering, The Undead Conference failed to discuss this very question. In fact, it apparently failed to discuss at all we Dead here at the Barrow Downs or even Tolkien's own undead. Imagine, they discussed Turgenev, Mirbeau, Gunther von Hagen, but not Tolkien. Unbelievable.

Next time I see such a call for papers, I'm going to demand equal time. If I see it in time, of course.

What potato famine did The Gaffer go ahead in time to stop? And did he take his son Samwise?

And If Gandalf is that great to come up with that idea then what will Sauron's team come up with...and is that like when Pippin said this
