Bethberry and I met again today at our Smial's moot. This time we have some pictures to show off!

I prepare to strike with canonicity

Canon makes Bethberry happy

Frodo crossing the River of Canon. Or maybe it's the Man in the Moon...

Some Rings involved. Fortunately, it didn't get to finger food, gollum gollum.


The Frodo in the last 2 pictures is the Smial mascot.


Somehow the discussion got to whether Turin is a good guy or a bad guy. Don't blame me. All I did was bring a copy of COH... No!!! I'm innocent!!!!!

But guess what: I actually found an ally! I'm not alone in the world who thinks Turin is awesome!

It was really really fun, and I wish we could stay together for longer. But there's Tolkien Reading Day comming up, so we hope to see each other again in about a month's time.

I am surprised you played so nicely with the banana even though Bęthberry was there!

Why, Agan, I am shocked, shocked I say.

Just because you and Mithalwen and Rune and Kath and Squatter engage in more European behaviours with bananas doesn't mean that we less sophisticated new worlders do. I'm sure I speak for Galadriel55 and all my smial when I say that we don't go in for beating folks with fruits--or our mascot.

At least we don't attack unsuspecting passers-by!

*hides*

*chokes on coffee, raises eyebrows, considers suit for defamation of character, mutters that not European but British, sniffs in the style of Lynda Snell, notes that sun well past yardarm and pours snifter. Sulks*

Oh, I say, I have been negligent. I forgot that you Brits take your bananas with a, um, stiff upper, um, lip.

So sorry, old bean, but perhaps you will forgive me for providing a thoroughly legitimate reason to take recourse in that snifter. *looks appeasingly*

I was about to post a very witty funny retort that would shine of brilliant cleverness when I realised I don't have a clue whatever you mean by that, so I don't know what to retort to.

Edit: xed with Bethberry herself!
