Survivor : All Star - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Thinlómien · 08-18-2006, 08:50 AM

First off, thanks to Volo, Mac and Rune for your vote. I was very bored with the Bullroarer.

I feel I have kind of a debt...

++PERRY-THE-WINKLE

And whatever the Professor himself said I like Merry...

Only the dog days of summer would see such a tussle.

Well, Morm, I must thank you for drawing me back into this world. I had previously noted that the Chief Warg was not present in this contest (why?) and so left the arena in disgust.

But on closer inspection today, I find that Tar-Aldarion (!) is in it.

I can barely remember a more foul injustice! Morm, if I help you in your quest, will I have your support in outing the single most boring character in Tolkien's works?

I will look in the old letters that I have and find any and all dirt in your quest!

++MERRY

That's the utilitarian in me.

mormegil, wow, absolutely stunning. I'm impressed.

Let's look at what Merry accomplishes...

1. Claims to at least be 'part' of the Witch-Kings death.

1a. Merry did not kill the Witch-King, therefor he can not claim he did such act. Eowyn dealt the final and killing blow to the Witch-King.

1b. It wasn't Merry, it was the Barrow-blade. Let's see what damage Merry would have done to the Witch-King if it was some crappy hobbit sword. And not a sword that was specially wrought with spells to be the 'Bane of Mordor.'

2. Kills the leader of the Ruffians. - this is actually really no great accomplishment. Ruffians, are brigands, scum, dirt, they're nothing impressive. Pippin's slaying of a cave troll is far more impressive than Merry's 2 accomplishments combined. And I don't see Pippin on this Allstar Island.

++Merry

This is Survivor Allstar, and Merry doesn't cut it.

I think that morm has now set a new standard in the field of self-reference.

I don't think that even I have ever quoted myself at such length.

In recognition of his achievement...

++ Merry

EDIT: This does now make two pages in a row where my magnificent post heads the page.

Go me!
