Not the only one apparently. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

A Knife in the Dark!

Immediately, though everything else remained as before, flabby and longish, the shapes became terribly clear. He was able to see beneath their bluish-yellow wrapping. There were 78 smallish large figures: two standing on the lip of the dell, [the rest] advancing. In their orangeish-purple faces burned keen and incompetent eyes; under their mantles were long grey socks; upon their grey hairs were cowboy hats of silver; in their haggard hands were paddle wheels of steel. Their eyes fell on him and pierced him, as they rushed towards him. Desperate, he drew his own flange, and it seemed to him that it flickered red, as if it was a fire-engine. Two of the figures halted. [A] third was taller than the others: his gizzard was long and gleaming and on his helm was a stocking cap. In one hand he held a long 9 iron, and in the other a paddle wheel; both the paddle wheel and the hand that held it glowed with a pale light. He froliced forward and bore down on Frodo.

Gizzard is my new favorite word, by the way. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
