LOL, Slasher Santas?

And I just found out that 'paladin' is actually a word. It means :

paladin \PAL-uh-din\, noun:
1. A knight-errant; a distinguished champion of a medieval
king or prince; as, the paladins of Charlemagne.
2. A champion of a cause.

Btw, I LOVE my new Elijah's 'You've got mails's alerts. Beat the 'pings' any time. Thank you annwyn55 ♥

Slasher Santas. How seasonal and festive is that? I don't care what kind of protest it is, it offends me. Of course, I'm sure that will make Mr. Whoever see the error of his ways, heh.

Paladin is a beautiful word, isn't it? Many years ago, there was a television series called "Have Gun, Will Travel" about a gunfighter named Paladin in the old west who was a kind of Knight-errant, who would take on bad guys for a price. But he usually wound up being noble and protecting the weak and innocent just because it was the right thing to do. Fantasy, but very good fantasy.

So here's a ping for you too, sweetie.

When I read that slasher headline on the yahoo! page my first thought was actually a Slasher Santa who are one of us, you know -'Slash' as in Frodo/Sam *g*

That one was pretty gruesome I agree *ick*

I wonder whether any of the other names that Tolkien used has any specific meanings - Peregrin for instance?

[mews1945.livejournal.com]

All I know of Peregrin is that it's based on Peregrine, which is a beautiful falcon.

Yes of course, the falcon.

And Pippin is a kind of apple. Knew that from elenya54's 'All That I Had' author's notes here (http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/elenya/chapter23notes.html).
