You've started off wonderfully and I am anxious to see how you get along with this. It is the Pythonesque sort of retelling that, though I enjoy it very much myself, I only dabbled in while writing my parodies. Only a handful of the scenes I wrote were truly Pythonesque rather than Montyfactual, as you rightly put it.

Speaking of Pythonesque and Tolkien, this is rather good:

I, as well, agree with Bêthberry! Otherwise, everyone would be named "Bruce" before you could grab your egg and fours.

By the way, thanks for the "shout-out" Macalaure.
