A query: isn't Master Giles' dog named Garm, not Gram? That's what the Tolkien Reader has been whispering in my ear...
 BTW, I just reread Farmer Giles of Ham last night, otherwise I would never have noticed...

Whatever his name,
++ GRAM/GARM the Dog needs to go today. There he goes again, getting everyone into trouble. Can't even keep his name straight

Garm is the correct name indeed - how could I have missed that so long?! I reread the bits of the tale about him; he starts out a big-mouthed coward and ends up thus:

I predict a Sauce derived rearguard action aimed at one of the Faeries.

+ + Garm/Gram (whatever)
So we can get to the Gang of Four. Although I may not be able to vote tomorrow.  It's interesting how Goldberry has slipped under the radar so far. The smallest number of eviction votes for any candidate?

++Goldberry
No, you fools! Goldberry is darting under the radar! Or at least get rid of her tomorrow. That way, there'd be one each from the three tribes before the last re-shuffling. |
