what's a caps lock key?

miss america question for all candidates... if you were on a desert island and could only bring one thing, what would it be? (there is a correct answer to this one )

Miss America answer: *toothy smile* "ehem..." *bats eyes at judges* "...I would bring World Peace to the desert island." *cocks head with a toothy smile while batting eyelashes* "Thank you."

*crowd applauds*

The obvious answer on THIS board and for THIS campaign, is a boxed set of as many JRRT books as possible!

But... hoping to actually survive the experience, I've heard that the TWO things most necessary to survival (from which you could make anything else) are a knife and rope. I'd go with the knife, because you could also make the rope.

Unless of course... you're talking about an actual miss america as the 'one thing'!

Yes well, I could do without it. I thought this thing was meant to be a little bit of fun. If you are both joking, then fair enough. But if your being serious then I think your taking it a bit far.

Awesome FM!

Given the recent story about Falagar and I in the Entmoot Guardian, I feel I should clarify why we withdrew. He and I (as you can see from our sig) are part of the same party as Hectorberlioz. We still plan to form the government, but Falagar and I didn't want to split the vote for our party. IOW, we don't want to "do a Ralph Nader".

We are not chickens, and further, our party is the only one that has been active at all in campaigning so far. However, this doesn't necessarily reflect badly on other candidates. It's very possible that people have a lot of RL stuff to deal with right now, that's fair.

Only one thing! Oh no, which Tolkien book should I bring!?

Aha! I'd bring a box holding all my Tolkien books!

Well yes! Tolkien is a genius, not anal retentive.
Uh huh. Have you read Letters lately? I'd bet he'd have a few quibbles with someone who doesn't know what the caps lock or an apostrophe is representing him.

What's the matter? Can't take the heat? This *is* the OPEN forum - if you can't take it, don't run. Anyway, I don't have a problem with YOU, I have a problem with YOU REPRESENTING TOLKIEN.



I'm sorry but you guys won't be getting my vote. I don't think you have what it takes to represent Tolkien. ::shrug::

By the way Twista, it doesn't appear that you have a spelling problem, it looks to me like you just can't be bothered using capitals, commas, and apostrophes. Again, something that is not particularly representative of Tolkien. I also don't think he'd use acronyms, but that's just me.

Oh... I'm sure I'm forgetting something here.... *cocks head on side* Oh yes! *yanks off Twista's pants* Thanks.



Edity edit (ta Ruinel): Nurv! You don't know what philology is?! FOR SHAME!!!! And you call yourself a Tolkien fan!

Are these the kind of people you want representing Tolkien, I ask you, is it?!

Silly Val. *smacks him*

Anyway, in the interests of obtaining my vote... er... I mean, continuing the campaign...

[serious voice] Now what sort of pants do you think would represent Tolkien the best? [/serious voice] Take your time. Make sure you justify your answer.

Well... as all can now see

I wear black boxer briefs with the emblem of the crown over the seven stars above the White Tree!

But I don't think my campaign is about whether I represent JRR Tolkien best. For one, that would be a pretentious claim. It may also be a contentious one hereabouts. I don't intend to change my avatar or sig or title to please anyone. Each of us is as we are... and it's more important that we just have this place to meet one another and share our love for (and joy in) Professor Tolkien's work - than that we try to out-do one another proclaiming how much we adore him. He himself might even find the latter objectionable.

From Tessar's lists, my favorite question is what I would say to JRR Tolkien if I could meet him. My answer: 'Thanks!'

My second-favorite is about seeing someone with 'Bored of the Rings': It's fun to think I'd shout, "Hey loser, hope Sorehead doesn't catch Frito and Spam!! Now go back to Harvard!" Instead, I'd probably just think to myself, 'Different strokes fer different folks' (and that's SURE different! )

Oh pants... I definitely BELIEVE in pants! I wear them every single day!!
