As a hobbit: Mungo Sandybanks _(“Yessir, Mr. Frodo, sir, I’ll get those floors washed right now sir…”)_ As an elf: Valandil Nenharma _(“Oh, Valinor is just **too** crowded this season, darling! Why don’t we visit your **charming** cousins in Lorien instead?”)_ Using my screen name here: hobbit – Togo Toadfoot of Frogmorton _(“Whilst I was ankling my way to the Drones Club of Byswater, who should I spot but young Pongo Proudfoot! And he was in a bit of a jam, as usual, so I surged about to buck him up…”)_ elf – Haldamir Miriel _(“Yes, I fought in the Dwarf wars – damn proud of it! **Someone** ’s got to keep those rock-eaters in their place, and it won’t be the younger generation! Why, when I was in the Guards, my commander once said to me…”)_ my wife is either Daisy Sandybanks or Idril Nenharma, and the boys are Bulbo/Elrond and Pimpernel/Olwe. Bulbo and Pimpernel?! What kind of a family am I running, here? And since when is “Bulbo” the hobbit translation of “Elrond,” hm?
