Frodo's Exciting Day Out  by Llinos 4 Review(s)
MarigoldGReviewed Chapter: 4 on 6/22/2006
This just might be my favourite chapter! I love every bit of it, especially with Wormtongue! His decision to change his name is inspired, because you are right, what would folks naturally expect from a character named Grima Wormtongue! This is such a great bit, I can just see him:

"Grima – Grima Wormtongue – and yes, I am a baddie. The name is a bit of a giveaway don't you think?" The man pushed his lank greasy hair back from his pus-soaked eyes, "I was thinking of changing it to something else. Maybe Shiny Larksong, or Bravely Goodheart, you know, just to throw people off a bit. What do you think?"

I am looking forward to the other idea you had for Grima’s choice of good-guy names!

And I love Pippin’s marble! And Boromir and Denethor, and Saruman's lack of interest in the whole thing, and Sauron...everything about it really : )

LOL! Oh Sam! I do love him, but he can blather at times. I love the eagles' obsession with seedcake - must be the equivalant of pipeweed to them. Grima's new name is hilarious as was all the makeover talk. He is one person in desperate need of a facial. ;)

Hi Again Gamgeefest,
We must stop meeting like this - people will say things!

I'm not sure what kind of seeds Sam has been putting in the cakes, but the poppies are looking a bit thin! You might have something there about addiction!

Merry and Pippin are actually so taken with Grima's new names they are thinking of borrowing them for their own adventures! Watch this space!

PS Thanks for all the reviews and I'm sure we can go on meeting like this, the hobbits will understand.

Saruman laid off, Wormtongue going for an 'extreme makeover?' *giggles*

Hi Surgical
Well maybe you could give him (Shiny that is - he hates when people get his name wrong) could give him a cheap facelift? Do you do cosmetic surgery? I think you could have a go anyway. If you get it wrong I doubt he'll sue.
