Thanks again to Daniel for granting me the choice of screencap for this round. So tell me, what exactly is Gandalf reading? Full size image here.

"SWW seeks SGW for fun and world domination. wonderful minion opportunity for the right W." "LONELYHEARTSES: YOU: SSSHINY, ROUND, AND GOLDSES. US: TALL, PALE, AND HANDSOMESSS, YESSS. WON'T YOU COME BACK TO US, PRECIOUSSSS? WE WILL WAIT FORRRREVAAAARR." "SEEKING NEW OPPORTUNITY. currently employed by a Very Important Person. responsible for carting his royal hiney around. he's a megalomaniac, and into superficial, shiny things. me: looking for a change. you: looking for a nice, sweet ride? let me know." cheers -- .
aka. fili orc-enshield +++++++++++++++++++ the scene, as i understand it, is exceptionally well-written. fili (in sort of a callback to the scene with the eagles), calls out "thorRIIIIIIN!!!" just as he sees the pale orc veer in for the kill. he picks up the severed arm of an orc which is lying on the ground, swings it up in desperation, effectively blocking the pale orc's blow. and thus, forever after, fili is known as "fili orc-enshield." this earns him deep respect from his hard-to-please uncle. as well as a hug. kili wipes his boots on the pale orc's glory box. -- maciliel telpemairo

You all did not make this choice easy! I laughed out loud at several of these, but in the end.... Congratulations, Name, you're the winner! That's exactly the sort of face I imagine our Gandalf would make at that casting rumor. Lucky Round Fourteen is yours!
