Now I want to get all the commenters together to make an anti-LOTR film short: one entwife, Eowyn twins, a random orc, an obscure elf and a rider of Rohan who couldn’t stay on his horse. The stuff of epics!
OK, a scenario is forming…
The Entwives leave Fangorn forest, seeking a place to grow plums and apricots in peace, without old man’s beard infesting the lot. They employ the services of a frolicking elf to help them find a likely spot in Middle Earth. On their journeys, they come across a random orc harrying a rider of Rohan who keeps falling off his horse. The Entwives are just preparing to say, “Leave him alone,” and have got to the letter “L” of “leave,” when two identical blonde shieldmaidens ride in and slice the orc to shreds with a resounding battle cry. The Eowyns ride off, supporting the legless son of Rohan between them, the frolicking elf finally stops dancing around the daisies to notice what’s going on and the Entwives roll their eyes in disgust at the hastiness of everyone. The End.
Lol, classic. Boy the two days I have had makes this prize so much more rewarding. Thanks Mary Victoria and Rowena.
Hope your week keeps getting better, Sean!
No problem! I had fun imagining the Rohirrim who couldn’t stay on a horse… received your email with address, the book will be on its way soon. 🙂
…And may your days improve markedly, yes.
Well I spoke to soon. Had to drive an hour to pick up a treadmill that should have been home delivered, then parking with a trailer, oivey what a nightmare.

Set the Entwives on ’em. You’ll get great results! Just… very slowly.
So you’re going to get fit, Sean? Go for it.
Well up until 6 months ago I was running 4 kms a night. I have a recurring knee problem and now I have stacked on about 10k so I hitting the walker hard. Burnt 400 calories this morning 🙂
Go Sean. I suppose it means you can watch TV while you run!
