The Sackville-Bagginses, Lotho and his mother Lobelia... Actually, kinda funny, I cringe at the name Sackville... I shouldn't, they're lovely bags, but I've been a huge LotR fan all my life, has always had a bad connotation... But on the other hand, it's a way to reference the Bagginses without calling them Bagginses, I suppose... Trying to stick w/ obscure LotR names that might not bring down the wrath of corporations and movie makers, I might've picked Michael Delving to use instead the name Nigel Smythe. I also thought Mumakil would have been a great name for the Hunqapillar. -L -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
