Huh?? Only the person doing something is responsible for his actions, no one else!

You overestimate my potential.

You're making it very hard for me to keep mistrusting the queen!

please let me sit at home and nurse my dislike in peace. Stop being so persuasive, you're like the queen...so I suppose that means I'm to blame...

I'm getting confused now. Think I need to sit down and eat a sandwich.

Anguirel is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
For reasons that I shall for the moment conceal I will not be party to the eviction of Nell.

However I do agree that, purely because of the surfeit yesterday, my ailurophile attack on Gram lacks novelty.

--GRAM, ++THE PARSON

I've detested this religious bigot ever since he stirred up the mob against the unfortunate Persian Artaxerxes...

Hehe. I knew that this would start to become interesting once Smith was knocked out. The outcome of the show is now a lot less certain and a number of interesting issues are raised. Will the Smithsonians coalesce around a single alternative candidate or will they be reduced to rancour and petty squabbling without their sacred (veggie) sausage to rally round? How will the opposing factions and the independents react? Will the Alliance of DOOM put in a return appearance? Will anyone ever understand what Ang is trying to achieve? Will Celuien be avenged? Does bombariffic's deep-seated dislike of the Faerie Queen stem from an unfortunate episode in his childhood? All these quesions and more will be answered over the coming days. And so the show is beginning to catch the vewing public's imagination once more. I shall be rendering a modest fee for saving the show in due course, Diamond.

There isn't one, as far as I am concerned, I am afraid. You see, that's the beauty of not having a favoured candidate. My only aim was to evict Smith, so I'm happy whatever the outcome now.

Sorry, but desperate times called for desperate measures. And I see that the so-called League of Extraordinary Downers was called upon too. Happily, the Alliance prevailed once more.

As for my vote, well I must honour my pledge to The Only Real Estel (thanks, by the way, TORE ):

+ + Ægidius Ahenobarbus Julius Agricola de Hammo

I quite like the old chap, but a promise is a promise. And title characters always make fun evictees. Oh yeah, and he has an improbably long and inexcusably Latin name.

And an almost fanatical devotion to the pope!

And for any who oppose the eviction of

Put them on the rack and give the rack a turn!!!

Unfortunately for me, I think that's entirely true. My only method against you is to oppose any campaign you start, which isn't all that satisfying. So I won't bother.

Now Anguirel, who was also a culprit in Smith's demise, is more likely to be irritated by any future scheming. I think I'll focus my efforts on thwarting him.

Save The Parson!

How in Middle-earth has this anakronism wielding imposter survived so long?
