I used Semper Fi because I am a proud aunt of a Marine :)

Author Reply: Aha! Well, Semper Fidelis to you, too! My dad was Air Force, my brother Army, my younger brother, husband, brother- and sister-in-law Navy as was my husband, my stepdad was Navy....

Seems only the Marines aren't represented in my family!

To answer your question, no haven't watched NCIS or whatever.


Author Reply: "Semper Fi," or "Always Faithful," is the credo of the Marine Corps. Leroy Jethro Gibbs, the leader of the team of NCIS agents who look into crimes involving or committed by Navy and Marine people, was a Marine sniper during his term of service to the nation. Part of the reason the phrase is increasingly popular is due to the popularity of the series.

Praise them with great praise! All the conspirators. Semper Fi as we would say in these latter days :)

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author Reply: They all deserve that praise, after all.

(And have you started watching NCIS? Addictive, huh?)

Permit their precious Peregrin to putter around Outside? 

LOL! I love this sentence!

"P" is of course reserved for Peregrin Took, the prince of the halflings!

Author Reply: Thank you so! And of course Pippin got one all to himself!

Priceless! Perfectly priceless... ;-)

Author Reply: And Pippin takes a well deserved bow!

Ah, but of course Sir Merry wrote that! *giggles* I had a feeling P would be for Pippin! Who else, after all?

Author Reply: But of course P is for the peerless Peregrin Took! Heh!

Praiseworthy Peregrine, Princling Perian, purposely plots and plans practical pranks providing puzzles to prompt puckish payback and pique proper perspective.

Proud of this one! Got to make an effort to say thank you for such a marvellous Christmas present to us all.

Author Reply: I laugh as much over your responses as I think the readers do over the original fics! Thank you so, and I'm certain Pippin thanks you, too!

The children's vocabulary will be soaring after reading this book!

Hooray for Pippin!

Author Reply: Well, it certainly ought to be! Heh! Thank you!
