Now there's a thought. Perhaps the Valar should have
threatened Feanor to several hours of Vogon poetry if

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

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!!!

You voted against your own screen name, morm.

I've lost all respect for you. Your words no longer have any sway with me.
