I am most partial to SpM's Corpus Cacophonous. I know it's probably been stated before but I really think it's very clever. If you haven't looked it up do so at dictionary.com which after the downs is probably one of my favorite sites.

I rather like Orofaniel's Mighty Mouse of Mordor. I don't know if it's new, or if I only just noticed it for the first time a few weeks ago, but it definitely fits her avatar (a jumping mouse). I also find it funny, since I know somebody in RL whose nickname is Mighty Mouse.

I love your personal title, Kath. Who thought it up, and what does it mean?
![]() Flattering Enchantment, how fitting, Wilwa! ![]() Child of the West. It's so simple, so wonderful. Great choice, Kitanna! ![]() Congratulations to you three on getting your PT's!

Love your choice there Wilwa. Fluttering Enchantress suits you perfectly.
Kath, i'm in love with your Everlasting Whiteness. It's great. Kitanna, exactly why did you choose Child of the West? And Perky, still can't think of yours? You really should get a move on with that. ![]() ![]()

I don't have The Silm with me so I can't quote it, but Everlasting Whiteness *does* have something to do with, if not directly pertaining to, Oiolossë. So, Kath, you know that wasn't a Nilp original.

Maybe I'm off my hinges, but I think Diamond's title is new.
Regardless, I like it. ![]() ![]()

Nay, Gurthang dear, I think Diamond's title pre-dates both my and your arrival on the Downs....

I like Eidolon, in fact I wanted to use that for mine but then realized Diamond had already taken it.

Speaking of PT's...I haven't seen anyone since the last bunch (which was Wilwa, Kath, Kitanna and Perky [who still hasn't sent his in] if my memory serves me right) and that was actually back in Octoberish. So, any idea of when someone else is to get one? (That was based towards a moderator).

LOL .... If I had an HI-like inclination towards surveys.... I am sure that it would reveal that a disproportionate number of downers don't tan. We have an awful lot of redheads and the two rarely combine and a number of our brunettes are of the pale and interesting variety. I wonder if it because a pale complexion is generally regarded more positively in Tolkien than in the outside world or just that we spent more time inside reading.... ![]() As for Child of the West .....as well as Gwaihir's song, Bilbo is described as thus by Thorin on his death bed " There is more in you of good than you know, child of the kindly West. Some courage and some wisdom, blended in measure. If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. " Another lovely choice ![]()

Perhaps we should have some sort of tanning survey. I can see HI undertaking it as part of his Public Research.
As a brown boy, it's very hard for me not to tan. ![]() In addition, I read outside. Well, now and again, if the pink blossom trees are in bloom. |

If my mind serves me correctly (and I've been wrong about this before) Formendacil's is new. Anyway, it gave me a pretty good laugh.
![]() I still think my bright shiny new one is best for me. ![]()

Gil! Congrats on the PT. I like it; it has a certain... flare. I don't think I would ever have thought of the word 'psyche', but it fits well with the Downs.

My thanks to the kind comments regarding the new title beneath my name... It was a rather painful wait, seeing as I thought it up within a week of joining the 'Downs, knowing full well it'd be months or years before I could even hope to have one...

Congratulations everyone. Some very well-deserved anointings, indeed, and great PT choices.
(I assume that Ang was included in the wave. I look forward to seeing what he comes up with on his return...)
