davem needs the Mac, so this is quick, but...

++Sam

You know this makes sense. He's no fly-by-night, nor is he stuck-up and full of himself. And he mostly does no wrong at all. There's no justice of Turin beats him.

Plus Turin is a stupid name for a character. There, I've said it

Except for the poetic justice!

Gosh! Had I been able to peak in earlier we could have dropped Gandalf out!

That would have been something indeed!

If you call that 'poetic justice' then it's Vogon poetry

Now there's a thought. Perhaps the Valar should have
threatened Feanor to several hours of Vogon poetry if
he wouldn't turn over the silmarils.

I reckon Gandalf could have had the beaten Saruman under control in half the time if he'd just brought along his Big Book Of Vogon Verse to Orthanc

Findulias, sister of the king, falls in love with the strapping lad. The same story is repeated in Bretil when he soon has the whole country almost worshipping him.

Excellent points. I hadn't even thought of it from that angle. Turin does indeed seem to be quite the popular one.

You are all bigots!!!

Just because Sam is smaller than you that doesn't mean you have to hate him. Geez I may just have to leave the downs after such a demonstraton of unbridled prejudism and hatred...for shame!!!
