I suddenly have an overpowering desire to give the Adventures of Tom Bombadil a proper read. In the spirit of modern idleness, is it online somewhere?

I'm going to go straight to the leading offender today. This Bliss character is another conniving pseudonymed sneak. "Bliss"? What kind of name is that? Sounds like slang for some kind of substance if you ask me...

No, no, lets leave a few respectable "Mr.'s" around Ang.

Instead, I vote ++ The Great White Dragon

Come on, everyone knows dragons should be green or red or black, some cool color! White? Who's white but Gandalf (when he's cloaked at least...well actually - no nevermind!)? It's a poor excuse for a Dragon I say. At the very least it could've basked in the sun awhile and been called something truly fearsome like "The Great Tan Dragon."

Great White? Bah Humbug. Only if there were sharks in Tolkien's works...

I vote for

++Nokes.

Poor cooking may be better than none, but who really wants to have a mediocre cook around? Besides, he thinks he's the one doing the work, while actually letting his apprentice do it for him. And he doesn't recognize Faerie even when in the presence of the King of Faery for years. His team will be better off without him.

Silmaril End of Day the Fifth

I'm ending this round half an hour early because I'm tired, my shoulder hurts, and I want to go to bed. So! The fifth round was extremely quiet, with only three judges weighing in. Thus came about the dreaded Trifecta, and three characters got the boot:

Mr. Bliss: 1 vote

The Great White Dragon: 1 vote

Nokes: 1 vote

And so, Mr. Bliss was put in a car and rolled off a cliff into the sea, the Dragon was beset by little dogs until he flew away on his own accord, and Nokes was baked into a cake.

Day the Sixth finds 43 remaining contestants:


Farmer Giles of Ham

Ćgidius Ahenobarbus Julius Agricola de Hammo (Farmer Giles of Ham)
Gram, his dog
The Giant from the Wild Hills
King Augustus Bonifacious

Why so quiet everyone? Have some spirit!

The Greek/Persian feud is causing promlems in the Roverandom tribe. We need to get rid of

++PSAMATHOS PSAMATHIDES

before he causes serious injury to the Wizard Artaxerxes...

Now is that any way to go rousing up debate, Anguirel? You really must learn to do it properly... Half the 'Downers around here probably can't even pronounce Psamathos Psamathides- at least not without getting their tongues tied in knots.

If you want some roaring debate you need to aim at the big names, the names with connections to the beloved Legendarium.

++ Uin

Who, if I am not mistaken, actually has a mention or two in the HoME as the great whale that ferried the Eldar to Valinor.

As a reasoning, I say that we remove him from this childish tale so that he may return to the great tale that is the History of the Noldor- your precious Noldor, Anguirel...

I'll take a chance and say the s is silent and it's pronounced pa-math-os-pa-math-ides.


++Uin.

For the reasons For stated and also, he's not minor enough. He's from the world of Middle-Earth and not a minor work. So, like Bombadil, he's not qualified.

++Psamathos Psamathides

1. His name is unpronouncable, and he always gets angry when you don't say the all the P's.

2. Ang's right. Psamathos spending time alone on a desert island with Artaxerxes is sure to reopen old Greek/Persian wounds. And it is almost certain that the Latin-named characters of the Farmer Giles tribe will team up with Psamathos and horribly injure poor Artaxerxes. For Artaxerxes' safety, we should get rid of Psamathos.

Look, I'm all for female participation (of course! ), but it's these prim-and-proper-princesses that really get under my skin. Mee doesn't hold a candle to the likes of Goldberry, and she should've been gone what - four days ago when Bethberry so astutely said:

But if we send the Man-in-the-Moon away too soon, who's to help Roverandom when he gets into trouble?

I would much prefer to get rid of one of the Dorkins - who needs three of them, and what important purpose do they fulfill anyway? Albert is the second fattest Dorkins, and his short legs make him slow - sounds like a good choice, as he won't be able to run away from capture, right?

I feel like sticking up for the little fat boy. There's been enough fatism on this thread already ...

++ The Man-in-the-Moon

Becuase he sits in the sky all high and mighty, only deigns to come down to earth when he feels like a drink, and then ends up getting drunk and raucous and ruining everyone's (unusually dark) evening.

Esty put it well - we really don't need him much.

The Man-in-the-Moon, on the other hand, knows how to have fun (see Frodo's song about him in the Prancing Pony); and I can't stand to see a decent fellow like him go this early.

For the love of the Cow jumped over the moon line - vote Dorkins!

edit: I'm assuing this is the same Man in-the-Moon that Frodo was singing about...but not being familiar with most of the characters here has its drawbacks. Still, it's a good defense either way. ;p

How many Men-in-the-Moon can there be?

I almost put him in the Adventures of Tom Bombadil tribe as well, but decided not to, as that's like having the same character in twice.

Silmaril End of Day the Seventh

A skinny mob, incensed by the gluttonous tendencies of the Dorkins family, converged upon one unfortunate contestant in particular the seventh day:

Albert Dorkins: 5 votes

Man-in-the-Moon: 3 votes

And so, whilst the little dogs laughed to see such sport, the fork ran away with the spoon, and er, wait, what was that? Not his time yet? Okay.

And so, Albert was sent to fat-camp on the other side of the island, where he was eaten by rouge wildebeasts.

Fattists!

But now that I have found a contestant that people are prepared to defend, I am going to stick with it:

++ THE MAN-IN-THE-MOON

For going out boozing of a night and leaving people stumbling about in the darkness.

What den of foul play have you been listening to whispers from?!?

I shall indeed defend the Man-in-the-Moon, Saucewolf.

++Mrs. Knight(ly).

I'll throw in my vote with Anguirel this day and see what comes of it.

Since I agree that both the Man-in-the-Moon and the Queen of Faerie are much too important to eliminate yet, I will jump on the bandwagon and vote for

++Mrs. Knight.

Anyone want to have a banana?

Oh, I can't even remember who Mrs. Knight is so that must be some grounds for elimination--of her if not of me!

Hmm.... You're most right, milord Saucepan Man... People ARE willing to defend the Man-in-the-Moon. Odd choice, that, but all the more fun to those of us interested in voting people off more than keeping people on...

++ The Man-in-the-Moon

I hear he's made of green cheese.

Well, I don't think The Man-in-the-Moon deserves to win - definitly not. What kind of a message would that send to our youth? That irresponsibility and drinking is okay? Well I won't send that message!

But I do still want him around, because he knows how to have a good time & makes a marvelous fake ID.

Really, Artaxerxes, Man-in-the-Moon, and the Little Boy are the only ones in that tribe with thumbs, even, and the Little Boy doesn't really count because he's far too young to be doing dangerous island work anyways. The rest are animals. Without the Man-in-the-Moon, Artaxerxes will have too much work to handle, and the tribe will begin to starve. But oops, they got rid of the green cheese man.

Silmaril End of Day the Eighth

On the eighth day, the judges continued to batter the Mr. Bliss tribe, converging on Mrs. Knight in a stunning show of solidarity for two of the more canonical characters.

Mrs. Knight: 6 votes

Man-in-the-Moon: 2 votes

Queen of Faerie: 1 vote

And so, whether because of her name, her obscurity, or her banana fetish, Mrs. Knight was shown the door. And after she had seen the door, she was boiled to death in a vat of bleachwater.

I checked out the number of members on each team, and the TB Adventure Gang has more than the others. Time to change that! I again suggest getting rid of those rapacious

++Mewlips

Who wants spooky creatures like those around, and who's to say where they choose their victims?! Why, they belong in a Werewolf game rather than here!

Hmm. What have you got against Mr Bliss, Ang? Did it give you nightmares or something?

Having identified a contestant that people are prepared to take action to protect I have no intention of abandoning my quarry.

+ + THE MAN-IN-THE-MOON

He should be maintaining his station on the moon of a night, not out carousing. And what kind of a job is that anyway? Being "in the moon"? What does it involve? Mooning around? Mooning? Pointless at best and discourteous at worst. We should not be encouraging this kind of behaviour.
