Two O's in Roverandom. Hoowl!

And in light of the recent "this character is like me" voting schemes, I should note that good ol' little Rover was my result for the personality quiz.

Bah! All this Latin is confusing me.

But, as you raised the point ...

- - ROVERANDUM

+ + ROVERANDOM

Random Rover? A Random Dog? etc etc

You mean we humble mortals have a measure of power to rebel against our almighty moddess? Well, all the more reason to vote for the little tyke then.

Cat people, unite!

++ ROVERANDOM

And if you don't like that reason, I'll adopt a dislike of random roving argument.

++Moon-dog

He's an alien bent on invasion! All the evidence points to it!

1. He lives on the moon.

2. He says: "I was the first dog that was ever called Rover, thousands of years ago." Aliens are notoriously long-lived.

3. The spells the Man-in-the-Moon uses are not spells, but alien weapons described from the point-of-view of an earth dog.

Quick! Vote for the Moon-dog before he starts abducting poor little humans for his and his master's vile experiments! Save the planet earth from the alien menace!

We have the MIB to stop him.

++Roverandom.

Since I don't know who he is, my reasons have already been said by others.

Every dog has its day, and it was "Get Rid of Those Doggone Dogs" day on the island. Still, at the end only one dog fell:

Roverandom: 5 votes

Moon-dog: 3 votes

Old Man Willow: 1 vote

Master Cook Rider: 1 vote

And so, Roverandom went home to live with the Little Boy and his family. What, you thought I was going to do something nasty to him? Dream on!

+ + Archie

Unfortunately, Tolkien never made it clear
whether he was named for Archie Bunker
or the comic strip Archie

In any case, to paraphrase Brian's grafitti on a wall
in Jerusalem:

Quote:

"Archiees eunt domus"? People called Archie, they go, the house?
Brian: It says, Archie go home.

Btw, that centurion would have made one great
motivational teacher!
