Ooooo! Wait. I’m an ecologist! I could be Tom Bombadil! Sweet!

(My real name’s Tom, too. That’s it, I’m ol’ Tom Bombadillo!)

I think I will take the roll of Eomer of Rohan. Rather like a cop, out riding on patrol, looking for trouble. Even did a _Terry_ stop of three suspicious characters running through his beat.
