Tsk! Teenagers today.

Things have clearly changed since my day ...

To put it into contemporary terms, Eomer is like the cool, popular athletic guy at school. You know, the one who looks down on the pale, long-haired geeky types (like Wormtongue) and ridicules their love of heavy rock (or goth) music, fantasy literature and role-playing games. I don't know about you lot, but I hated those types when I was at school.

Geeks of the forum unite! Vote out the jock (US not UK terminology).

Saucepan said it best. The call has been sent out. Remember your heritage folks. Eomer is the Quarterback that dated the cheerleader that would rather spit at you then so much as look at you. It's time we strike back.

I am sensing definite xenophobia afoot here. You should all be ashamed for wanting to rid the Island of the lone orc.

Says he who instigated the ethnic cleansing of Elvendom! Hypocrisy, hypocrisy...

You're aplying superficial, sterile, anachronistic, generalistic and transatlantic values to a Dark Age Old English world. For heaven's sake, Eomer doesn't know what a quarterback is! Neither, indeed, do I!

Oft the unlooked for guest proves the most welcome. If any of you who are not usually Survivor participants read this and feel some pity for the young King on the brink of destruction, lend your swords against Grishnakh.

If ever you have gasped at "he was young, and he was king, the lord of a fell folk"...

Then vote with your hearts and aid Rohan.

If you know what it feels to thunder upon a horse...

Vote with your legs for Rohan.

If words like "north, sword, helm, frost, vale" excite you...

Vote with your heads for Rohan.

Down with the crooked Orc dupe!

tgwbs's stout aid brings it to-

Eomer-11
Grishnakh-11
Merry-1

Friends of the Rohirrim would still be eagerly accepted. We wish to save our King as well as trample our foe...
