Survivor: Surviving the Minor Works

[Estelyn Telcontar]

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?

++Albert Dorkins

[Anguirel]

I'm swayed by Esty here. Blasted Dorkinses, so many of them. I smell nepotism in the works.

--THE LITTLE BOY, ++ALBERT DORKINS

[The Saucepan Man]

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.

+ + Albert Dorkins

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

So as to save the Man-in-the-moon:

- - King Augustus Bonifacious

++ Albert Dorkins

Because of what Estelyn said.

[Alcarillo]

++Albert Dorkins

Being rather fat, he shouldn't be able to do much island work, and is just another mouth to feed. This puts far too much strain on his tribe's food-gathering abilities.

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.

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.
