Re: underhillo

Now I kind of wish the poll feature was back. This is perfect poll material!

Which is your favorite Bombadilloism?

"Hey now! merry dot!"

"Hey! Come merry dot! derry dol! My darling!"

"Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo!"

"Ho! Tom Bombadil, Tom Bombadillo!"

"Hey! now! Come hoy now!"

Only a true Tolkien afficianado can appreciate the fine but important distinctions between the Master's various phrasings.

Hmm... perhaps I'll start a new thread on the implications of Bombadil's rhyme, "None has ever caught him yet, for Tom, he is the master: His songs are stronger songs, and his feet are faster." Bombadil as the first rapper to dis all the other sucka MCs?
