so true. ever sit in a crowd a listening to a foriegn accent, some of them could curse in rolling cadences and all i could do is smile

I agree, Billy Boyd with his lovely, not exactly English lilt was a perfect choice. I have always thought there was someething rather Highland Scots or even Irish about the Tooks. The Tookish side is blamed for Bilbo's wild streak. The more famous Tooks from Shire history were the ones known for having adventures. Unconventional, a bit rebellious. Nicely done.

Author Reply: Thank you, Demeter. I don't think many of us would go back and re-cast Pippin; Billy was such a wonderful choice. :D

Aha! So THAT'S how it was done, is it? No, Gandalf isn't prone to the Took spell, is he????

Author Reply: Of course not! Well, not that he'd admit...

"Yes, Billy. You can have whatever you want . . ."

OH! We were discussing Pippin, weren't we!

(It *IS* the accent :) )

Author Reply: Billy Boyd truly has the most captivating voice. What a lovely casting choice for our Tookish lad.

*rolls with laughter* Hahahahahahaha! That's too good! Oh, Shirebound, that's priceless! But so true! Pippin can say anything he likes, and it just makes you want to hug him or laugh or give him something nice! :-) God bless,
Galadriel

Hey, these were all so funny. Very Tookish! I like the last one especially."Maybe it's the accent." That's something I haven't thought of before. He reminds me of my little brother. Annoying, but oh so cute....
God Bless, Frodo Baggins

Author Reply: Thanks, Frodo! These were a lot of fun to write.

Ha-HA! Gandalf, you seem to have forgotten how perceptive Legolas is. Not that it really matters; you're far too obvious. :) The Elf may not mention it again, but I think he knows darn well that that hobbit has that wizard wrapped around his little finger! Maybe it *is* the accent.

Author Reply: Isn't this a fun concept to think about? :) Those Tooks... so fiendishly (and endearingly) clever. Glad you liked it!
