You has been used and over used far too often.  Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got Yo-Yo practice to attend to.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

This violates the rules.  Must be the last letter of the last entry as the first of the new word, plus two more letters of choice.  By definition, the shortest possible word has 3 letters.

Keeping the game alive...

Did you mean Eloi ??  Because Elon is either a town in NC, a College or Corporation.  All of which would be proper names.

Your recent use of words already used does somewhat imply necromancy, yes.
