"Ecnalubma: a rescue vehicle seen in the rear view mirror."

Oh, yes. To me, Mooreeffoc seems like a very pervasive theme, and it begins way back in The Hobbit: after his quest, and the vast number of times that Bilbo wished for his hearth and teakettle just beginning to sing, I doubt he ever looked at the hearth and teakettle the same. I doubt he ever took a pocket hankerchief completely for granted, either!

X-Phial (I've always loved your name, by the way), do you see a similarity between Mooreeffoc and the common concept of "The Paradigm Shift"? To me they are tied strongly together. And I don't think that there's anyone in the Quest who really escapes unscathed; I think all the major characters go through some sort of paradigm shift, with the possible exception of Gandalf ("...and I was the only one who was not surprised.")
