I forget the moniker of the poster that I promised that to.. it seemed to make sense at the time. I had very little interest in Top Chef and none at all in bringing any disputes over to a new board. I suspected certain posters were posting tandem.. backing up each other in their bullying for cheap laughs. I also suspected some were posting under more than one registration. The dispute sucked all the fun out of posting for many until leaving was the only viable option for some. I hope that never happens here.
I would rather post with someone who is kind than who is a sharp wit, though I appreciate humor! Lucille Ball is a personal goddess of mine. Supe and I registered on the Bravo QE board in 2004 within weeks of each other and hit it off almost immediately. Kindred.
As to my avatar, do you not remember Haldir of Lothlorien? Did you see the movie "Lord of the Rings"? Haldir was played by the very fine Craig Parker from New Zealand. The writer Kenaz sums up the character of Haldir in this funny play on the Gilbert & Sullivan tune from "The Pirates of Pensance". Kenaz has filled out his character much to my tastes in her riveting fanfiction on her own site and many others.
1. The Warden of Lothlorien
HALDIR:
I am the very model of a Warden of Lothlorien
I've information Noldor, Sindar, Dwarf and Numenorean
I know the kings of Gondor and I've fought the fights historical
From Gondolin to Barad-dur in order categorical!
With Orophin and Rumil I've planned for matters tactical
I'm master of the longbow and with sword I'm very practical
'Bout Uruk-hai and bloody yrch I'm teeming with a lot o' lore,
With many cheerful facts about the Silmarills of Feanor...
GALADHRIM:
With many cheerful facts about the silmarills of Feanor.
With many cheerful facts about the silmarills of Feanor.
With many cheerful facts about the silmarills of Feanor!
HALDIR:
I'm very good at hiding in the boughs of giant Mallorn trees;
When I see Halflings bearing evil rings it makes me ill at ease,
In short, in matters Noldor, Sindar, Dwarf and Numenorean,
I am the very model of a Warden of Lothlorien.
GALADHRIM:
In short, in matters Noldor, Sindar, Dwarf and Numenorean,
He is the very model of a Warden of Lothlorien!
HALDIR:
I know our mythic history, Celebrimbor's and Glorfindel's;
I'm pledged to serve Galadriel, with Celeborn I'm close as well,
I'm not a friend of Gimli's, he won't pass without a terse remark,
The dwarf he breathes so loudly we could surely shoot him in the dark!
I can tell a filthy ranger from the wielder of Anduril
I know the trilling tune that flows so lightly from the Nimrodel!
Then I can hum a fugue of which I've heard from Lindir's mandolin,
And whistle all the airs from that infernal Lay of Leithian.
GALADHRIM:
And whistle all the airs from that infernal Lay of Leithian.
And whistle all the airs from that infernal Lay of Leithian.
And whistle all the airs from that infernal Lay of Leithian!
HALDIR:
The slash fic writers pair me with the Greenwood archer's handsome form
They'll tell you ev'ry detail of Prince Legolas's uniform:
In short, in matters Noldor, Sindar, Dwarf and Numenorean,
I am the very model of a Warden of Lothlorien.
GALADHRIM:
In short, in matters Noldor, Sindar, Dwarf and Numenorean,
He is the very model of a Warden of Lothlorien.
HALDIR:
In fact, when I know who is meant by Gil-Galad Erienion,
and I can tell at sight a Mirkwood arrow from a javelin,
When such affairs as sorties and surprises I'm more vigilant,
And I know movie viewers often say that I'm belligerant,
When Peter Jackson offs me with an orch blade on the fortress keep,
Remember from your book-lore that I never set foot near Helm's Deep
In short, when Hobbits, Men, an Elf and dwarf show up in 'Lorien
You'll say a lesser Marchwarden would never deign to let them in!
GALADHRIM:
You'll say a lesser Marchwarden would never deign to let them in!
You'll say a lesser Marchwarden would never deign to let them in!
You'll say a lesser Marchwarden would never deign to let them in!
HALDIR:
For my military knowledge, though my arrogance is oft engaged,
Has only been brought down from the beginning of the Second Age;
But still, in matters Noldor, Sindar, Dwarf and Numenorean,
I am the very model of a Warden of Lothlorien.
GALADHRIM:
But still, in matters Noldor, Sindar, Dwarf and Numenorean,
He is the very model of a Warden of Lothlorien!

Craig Parker... oops. Yeah I never would have remembered that. I can't wait for The Hobbit. I've no clue how it'll be edited into three hours of screen time though.
