Fast and free
Every time I see the label on an Ebay listing that says 'fast and free' my brain automatically fils in 'the last whose realm was.. fast and free.. between the mountains and the Sea'. no wait that's wrong.
EVERY time. Sheds an intriguing light on Gilgalad's catering preferences, and indeed on Elven cuisine in general.

Of him the buyers sadly sing:
The last who sent things fast and free,
Between the Mountains and the Sea.
His stocklist long, his prices fair
His service was beyond compare.
His items all came as described,
With labels that were neatly scribed
His couriers were famed in song
And never sent a parcel wrong,
Or said "you're out!" when you were in,
Or left your parcel in the bin.
But long ago he went away,
And where he went to, none can say.
And now his shop, in other hands,
Wreaks woe on buyers of all lands.
Its listings flawed, its prices steep,
Its postage charges make us weep.
Its based, or so it's breathed afar,
In Mordor, where the shadows are.
What have you done to me? Stop it! Stop it! Stop!
Gil-galad founded Burger KingGil-galad was an elven-king,
Of him all diners sadly sing:
The last whose food came fast and free,
Between the Mountains and the Sea.
His food was sent out on demand,
And carried swiftly o'er the land,
From Mithlond e'en to Rivendell,
And reached there hot, or so they tell.
And diners eating in his hall
Could order dishes from the wall,
And get them fast, in foil encased,
And then add sauces, to their taste.
But long ago, he rode away,
And with him died the fast buffet,
So food is slow, and costs a lot,
And when it comes, it's never hot.

O nay *never* no more. :-DDD
To do for the rest of today: chuckling.
