How many of us know who Dudley Doright is?

But it seems the bell knells for the belle Nell.

By the by, if anyone is starving, it is due to that cook. He should be the next to go.

Why not scrap

++Master Cook Rider

if it must be a character from Smith? He's a rather marginal person in that story. There are few enough females around anymore, so keep Nell, is my opinion. Or have you gents forgotten that it takes two genders to survive as a race??!

Ha ha! Patronising support of women! I cry sexual discrimination!

Women of the Downs, prove your empowerment by voting for someone with no merits at all despite her being one of the Universal Sisterhood! Don't protect her purely by dint of her chromosomes!

Feminists, to arms! Down with the sappy demure child-bearer!

(Aside: men, get her. One woman down, three to go...)

Alf was not whimsical!

Fool of a SaucePanakeia!

He was the mover and shaker in the whole story! To miss that is to roll in pig slop and love it! Here. Have some pearls.

The most whimsical and useless character in the Smith story was, I agree with Estelyn,

But...but...Alf is Alf! The fuzzy brown alien thing with a talk show on TV Land. I can't stand that show, even before Alf got a talk show. Never could. What a disgraceful way for Alf the Prentice to behave a few centuries later.

Sorry, but I'll have to stand behind this vote.

Oh. And I declare Alf the candidate for all Whovians on this side of the pond. How can we allow the annoying Alf have a show when the Doctor is gone?

Ah, dearie me, Possums! I see that Esty et al have not waited for tomorrow to turf out this cookish monster, as I suggested, but acted upon the suggestion this very day. Well, who am I to ignore my own bandwagon. I shall update my vote.

Silmaril End of Day the Twenty-Seventh

There was a calculated attack on the SoWM characters day twenty-seven, but only one bit the bullet:

Master Cook Rider: 4 votes

Nell: 2 votes

Alf, King of Faerie: 2 votes


And so Rider bit the bullet. Literally. Someone baked a bullet into his cake and when he bit down, his head exploded, leaving bits of brain and bread all over the place.


Day the Twenty-Eighth finds 16 contestants remaining:


The Major Minor Works

Ćgidius Ahenobarbus Julius Agricola de Hammo (Farmer Giles of Ham)
Gram, his dog
Chrysophylax Dives
The Parson
Alf the Prentice, King of Faerie
Smith of Wootton Major
Nell
Queen of Faerie

The More Minor Minor Works

Goldberry
Badger
Fíriel
The Wizard Artaxerxes
Moon-dog
Mr. Day
Teddy
Bruno

I do think you're right, Esty. I can think of many reasons to vote off Nell but the fact that she was a mother is not one of them.

By the by, Ang, I quite don't follow your logic. Any true (or intelligent) feminist wouldn't savagely turn on one of her own sex based on the fact that she's put her reproductive system to use. And the prospect of allowing a dude to call us to arms to castigate one of our own for her not-maleness... ha ha! Foolish indeed for females to call pretending they're not females "empowerment." If only we could make it so men had to do the child-bearing, but alas, I'll wager you lads couldn't handle it....

But no one listen to me, I'm just the mod overseeing you tumultuous lot.
