And a tip of the hat to you, my friend, for the head start I got off FotR. In fact, my inspiration for having everyone forget about Merry and Pippin was derived from this scene from FotR:
Quote:
Gandalf: Sam stayed by your side the whole time you were here.
Frodo: Aww, that's so nice.
Gandalf: Merry and Pippin made it here alive, too.
Frodo: Meh.

The confusion of Merry and Pippin came not only from experience (being able to distinguishing them at last only by determining that Billy Boyd, Pippin, was the cute one) but from an unauthorized FotR fiver which saved time by merging the two characters into one, called "Mippin." Hee.
On another note, thanks for the warm reception of the fiver. I'd love to get it out to a bigger LotR audience. I tried emailing theonering.net to get them to link to it, but as they haven't: if anyone is registered, or knows someone who is registered on the TORn message boards and would be willing to post a link, I would eternally grateful. Oh, and we'd probably set an all-time record for hits -- also cool.
