Grumpy?

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Gandalf was grumpy because he had to ration his weed and could only smoke maybe twice a day. He was a total leaf fiend, so his 'holding back' really got on his nerves.

Pippin abuse! Call the APAA!

*ring ring!*

Saphy: <picks up phone> Hello, APAA headquarters, Sapphire speaking. Mm-hm. Mm-hm. Alright, we'll get someone on that immediately. <hangs up> <yells into the hall> Alright people, we've got a situation here!

<A handful of individuals hurry into Saphy's office>

APAA Agent #1: What's the word, Saph?

Saphy: Pippin Abuse in the second degree: Code 72 1/2.

Assorted Agents: *GASP!*

Saphy: <nods grimly> That's right. This'll be a tough one; I want two agents on this, and a backup team.

Agents: *whisper, rustle*

Saphy: Adam, Nikki, you'll be the main team...

<a dark-haired boy and a red-haired girl look at each other and nod>

Saphy: ...Sean and Cole, you're backup. Keep a close eye on things; jump in if it gets messy.

<the two boys nod>

Saphy: Witchking and I will keep tabs on things from the Control Room. <she scribbles something on a piece of paper and hands it to Adam> Here is your target and location. Bring some extra restraints for this one; this requires extreme caution.

Nikki: You can count on us, Saph.

Saphy: <smiles> I know I can. Now get out there and, remember, stay frosty.

<the four Agents salute and stride out of the room>

Saphy: <tosses a slab of bacon to Witchking> Okay, let's get down to the Control Room. <stands, then looks at the remaining Agents> Alexandera and Elizabeth, run down and set up communications, we'll be needing immediate and secure contact. Jeff, be standing by in the Medical Wing; I have a feeling things could get messy. Enny, get SAM on the line; they might want to keep an eye on this as well. <exits the office, followed by the remaining agents and a mini-balrog>

And I don't suppose those elves had bothered to invent nicotine gum, either. Poor Gandalf! I bet he always had a bag of sweets on him though, to make up for it...

While we're on the topic, I've often wondered if Arwen, once she became Queen of Gondor, would harangue her husband about his 'filthy habit' and make him go and stand outside if he wanted a smoke.

Am I the only one who thinks Gandalf's 'outbursts' are funny? or do I have a twisted sense of humour?

Yes, you do have a twisted sense of humor................and so do I.

That's quite possible.

<Exits office, dragging the mini barlog on a leash, hoping it doesn't decide to BBQ her.>

Anyway, *puts on professor/smart looking glasses. Folds her hands with a serious look on her face*. I think this problem originated back when Gandalf was just a little Maia. After centuries of neglect and improper raising, he developed a annoyance for hobbits who's names just happened to start with the letter "P".

I can really imagine Gandalf with a bag of sweets, just like the classic 'old man'. Penny chews, etc...

That's why all those little hobbit children kept following Gandalf around Hobbiton.
