Hmmmm.... Hmmmmm! I like that idea.

I've considered voting for the mewlips before, but I think the entire Mr. Bliss cast ought to go first. Just because I've never read the book and can't imagine it's any good if it's no better than Roverandom. So.....sine a vote has already been cast in that direction:

Silmaril End of Day the Ninth

The defense of the Man-in-the-Moon waned on the ninth day, allowing a sneak attack by his staunchest detractors:

Man-in-the-Moon: 3 votes

The Barrow-wight: 2 votes

Teddy: 2 votes

The Mewlips: 1 vote

And so, the Man-in-the-Moon came down too soon, got spectacularly drunk, and staggered off into the deep jungle, never to be heard from again.


Day the Tenth finds 39 remaining contestants:

Do I hear some celebrating? Yes I do! And it's coming from the Formendacil in the crowd...

Anyway, I love seeing my chosen candidate voted off. Considering my oft-contrary tactic of voting, it's sometimes been a rather rare event. And the veterans of Suvivor: The Second Age can attest to my habit of gloating after a particularly successful day. (Galadriel, anyone? )

Now, how to repeat this delightful event. How about...

A transplanted Hobbit if I've ever seen the name of one. "Boffin"?

Really, we should send him back to where he belongs: the Legendarium.

Sounds like a horrible evolutionary mistake. Imagine the myximatosis or however you spell it long necked leaf-eating rabbits could transmit...

And you can add some joyful rattling of pans to that too.

Still on the anti-Mr Bliss trail I see, Ang. What do you have against the book?

I do so hate voting for characters that I know nothing of (by far the majority in this game), so I shall go back to petitioning for the eviction of that troublesome neighbour ...

I fear what I don't know. And I denigrate what I don't read.

I want to become a member of the literary establishment, y'know, so I haven't any choice...
