Best Post of the Week - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Yes, yes, we have the reputations system, but we cannot see all the highly rated posts there, only the tallies, unless Barrow Wight does his magic again.

Therefore, let us here make nominations for the laurel wreath. And make good our reasons.

To start things off, I hereby nominate Kransha's post #30 on the Why There were no women in the fellowship thread in Mirth.

Firstly, the modesty with which Mr. Kransha begins his address. A true gentleman, his tongue never drools but is kept firmly in his cheek. Second, the dexterity with which he addresses issues of philological import. Mr. Kransha's overarching metaphorical grasp of golden and star takes my breath away. Third, his grasp of early mythological texts which allows him to boldly make interpretations where others have not gone before. We all knew about the derivation of 'Gandalf' but who had the patience, perception, and downright prescience to seek out Gimli? Fourth, Mr. Kransha's very clever re-visioning of the very stale Legolas-Gimli question should put to rest henceforth any questionable aspertions about those who only serve. 'Nuff said here.

Fellow Downers, I ask you: Can Mirth get any better than this?
