Though it is partially warming up my own soup, I cannot skip TM's new one:

Speaking of old music, is Lalwendë's location ("Back in Black') a reference to the band AC/DC?

Lommy's new location does not look very... encouraging.

Possibly. Even though I've always loved the sound of that phrase, it's so funny. It used to be my favourite phrase in the whole LotR. (It is the Finnish version of "where the warg howls, there also the orc prowls"...)

Yes, and yippee, you can't see me but I can you.
Flaming was the first song I heard from Pink Floyd and it has a special place in my heart.

Sorry chat skwerlz, shutting up, just couldn't resist At least this is a thing all Downers can understand (And yes, Flaming is a very beautiful song, as the whole Piper is. Okay, that was the last line, leaving.)

Is there a location-changing boom? It looks like about half of the 'downers have changed their locations... odd. Anyway, I would like to nominate as many as three of the new or relatively new ones:

Why would you want to breed penguins? To ride on them into battle?

Thanks, Lommie, even though I wasn't even considering penguins at the time I wrote it. But that would be the most plausible place to find them.
