The Saucepan Man has been trapped in the Barrow!
White-Hand
Hush now, all of you. You are embarassing me. It will all go to my head and no good will come of it ...

But thank you for the warm welcome, which makes me feel right back at home again, and greetings to old friends and to some new (to me) faces who I hope to get to know better.

I am afraid that my Tolkien is a bit rusty, so I have a bit of catching up to do. And as for that (frankly ludicrous) post count of mine, well I put it down to a rather obsessive approach to Werewolf and long hours spent in the Quiz Room with knowledgable souls who know much more about Tolkien's works than me. In fact, that may just be the best place to brush up on my Tolkien ...

Braving the open prohibiton... So nice to see you for a long time SPM!

And don't we all need some boost every once in a while?

You know, I've always wondered what would happen if nobody clapped for Tink in a production...

I think it's only appropriate to welcome our mass-poster back with such a flood of posts. (Although, I must say the SPM-level quality is still missing. )

Anyway, glad to see you're back, Saucie.

You know, you could just recycle a lot of those old posts as they're surely just as good today as they were back then. Good for us, good for you, and good for the environment of course...

Welcome back, by the way, and I look forward to reading your new posts as well.

alatar already starts to wonder what significance SpM's return portends...

I'm just wondering what has brought the esteemed SpM back at this time. Random, or is some new movement afoot?

It would be possible to infer that his appearance has something to do with the plethora of siggie spammers we've had recently. After all, 'twas I who endearingly nicknamed him SPaM because of the quality and quantity of his posts. Perhaps he's here to teach the taudry spammers a thing or two?
