| LOL! Somehow I suspect Boromir is plotting something. With all that fodder (and the earlier-displayed tendency to pick things up quickly), he must be intending on torturing someone! Author Reply: Hmmm. Is muddlewort catching, perhaps? Or the absurdity it generates? I always suspected he had a humorous streak because he seemed to get on so well with the hobbits, at least in the film. | |

| That's seriously funny. Way to be angsty without losing the laughing. However, I think my roommates now think I'm insane for laughing out loud at least 5 times for no apparent reason ;) Author Reply: Music to my ears. It worked! | |

| I kept waiting for someone to start singing Henry the eighth. "Second verse, same as the first." Ah, Gandalf the cruel, we should call him. It's just plain mean to torture Pippin with that threat. The poor lad was inadvertantly under the influence of foul drugs when he made that comment. Of course, Pippin is doing his fair share of the torturing, teasing Frodo about the singing. I'm looking forward to the video preview :) Author Reply: 'enery the eighth I am, I am! (and now that's sounding at the back of my brain) Ah, well, turnabout is fair play, as they say. I'm so glad you enjoyed the story. | |

| Still at it with the ear-worms, huh? Well, at least you spared us "The Song that Never Ends" and "Little Bunny Foo-Foo". This has been a "laff riot"! I almost hate to see it come to an end! (Maybe a sequel?) Author Reply: Little bunny foo-foo! That would have been perfect for this story! As for a sequel... Whew. This one was exhausting. I swear I wracked my brains. (Or maybe I racked them?) (((hugs))) | |

| I've just had a horrible thought that justifies the sad end of Boromir, Son of Gondor. If he had returned to his homeland, he would have taught all these horrible songs to the soldiers he captained - and the WHOLE OF GONDOR would have been singing them! Aragorn would have been driven insane. The Reunited Kingdom would have fallen. Sauron would have been revived. All because there were ninety nine bottles of beer on the wall with their ears hanging low. . . Very amusing. I like the way that, once better, they cannot remember how they were. Unfortunately Gandalf, Gimli, Aragorn, Legolas and Boromir can. Author Reply: Such a dismal possible future as you've predicted here. Yikes! Maybe I won't write an AU where Boromir survives... (For another reason, I've read a couple of excellent such AUs, so I don't have to keep trying to work out the scenario for myself.) Thanks so much for hitting the high points! | |

| This just keeps getting better...but I can't help but wonder if Boromir hasn't been affected by the muddlewort as well. At least they manage to harmonize! This has been one of the funniest fics I've read in some time. I'm looking forward to the final chapter to see what Legolas has planned. It should be a doozy! (LOL) Author Reply: Such high praise! I appreciate the words of encouragement. Relatively-easygoing-Boromir came about in my imagination from watching the part of the film where he was training the hobbits in Hollin, I think it was, and if I'm remembering right, the hobbits ended up tackling him, and they all had a wrestling match, I think. | |
