Complaints

It was just a sign of affection, Odo, don't be such a fuddy duddy...

Well, I never! "Fuddy duddy!"

And, with your attitude, never will...

Eldo will be Eldo.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahah, gasp, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah. Odo dear, your respectability is certainly showing! how adorable, yes you are , yes you are. I must hug you. sigh.

As I said... Eldo will be Eldo.

And Odo will be Odo.

You certainly did beautiful Baingil, Eldo's well not girl now, wife? And I must say Bain, even though you look magnificent on the balcony in all your finery I think you even prettier in your woodland green. A star girl elf. BTW did you take the time to bend down and kiss little Odo. I will ever have it in my elven mind that all that bluster and fibs is only due to the fact that our Odo is really only a six year old Odoette. good one little honey!

This is all an utter outrage!

You know guys, Bain and Eldo, aren't quite what I imagined! Now, I know where they spend their spare time ---- in Forumshire. A resounding endorsement for Forumshire I'd say!

As to Odo, was that photoshopped? For I seem to remember a photo of him taken when he was a very young girl. It was about 45 years ago and I saw it once in a Banks family album whilst visiting as a young lad....

I think Odo might be jealous. Trouble in Needlehole?

Of course I must have my green for most days, but tradition is tradition, you know!

And I was thinking of kissing little Odoette ((((((( ))))))) but I was too busy with Eldo. Six year olds are so cute! Of course she'd probably run away...

Back in the late 1800's (Forumshire Time) little boys often got dressed like that. And even if it pleases me to be shown in association with the future King and Queen of England (near Forumshire), to photoshop me in such a manner is just plain inappropriate! Shame! Shame! Shame! (And btw, Orwell, if or ifn't I was girl once is clearly nobodies business! )

Why so coy, Odoette? There's no shame in admitting that you were a bridesmaid at a royal wedding.

Dont you ever call me that again, young man...!!!!

Looks like I can still call him Odoette.

there there dear one, you are tired and have not had your little tea cakes and milk and honey. Here let me feed you and help you with your drink. Now let us brush our teeth dear one. And now, here lie down, covers over your cold little limbs. I shall sing to you your favorite lullaby
"let me be respectable, make the others wince and cry
let me be a tick in their ear, bother them, then bye and bye
when they're worn out from yelling at me
I shall start again just for the glee shhh. ah the tike has fallen fast asleep

A lullaby to soothe even the most crabbit Forumhobbit!

(((((Shhh, Eldo, don't wake her up!)))))

Are you saying things behind my back, Baingil? I can smell the cinnamon...

As to you, dear leelee, how dare you use poetry in such a derogatory way...! Poetry should only ever be used for niceness and rightness, surely you know that. Tease me in verse, will you!!! Very unseemly use of the High Art in my opinion --- and please don't deny it, I am, after all, amid other things, an expert on unseemliness; have to be in this Eru forsaken unseemly place!

And Eldo, if you don't mind. You, of all people - the Mayor in fact! - should not be encouraging this disreputable behavior -- nor starting it!!

Can't even make cinnamon toast around here without being accused of plots.

Sorry Odo, it's in my original mandate to encourage people to let loose and not worry so much about what is "proper" to say (within certain boundaries, however loose they may be). In true Hobbit-fashion, the Mayor is here not to interfere in personal affairs but to preserve freedom.

No you can't!! Errr... no, sorry Baingil, you can make cinnamon toast here... It's just, well, I'm out of sorts... everyone is being so unkind at the moment, photshopping old photos of me, singing cheeky lullabyes, and basically showing me very little respect... No wondeer one gets crabbity. I amost have sympathy for Mr Tyrant (almost, mind!) I wonder if he has been the recipient of this kind of bullying. Might it have made him biter and twisten and malevolent, even if it i in a nice way? It could explain a few things, come to think... I must look up Freud...

Uh oh, Odo is so upset that he's overflowing into his Orwell persona again!

You certainly have "Politician" down pat, Eldo. You and your fancy-talk. I'm not fooled by your smooth creamy explanations; not for a second!

And then, even as I'm replying, you drop your guard and we see the bully I know you to be! You're not quite there yet as a polly, are you?
