Writers convention

Host: "We have a particularly special guest with us tonight. The ghost of J.R.R. Tolkien will be making a few comments."

J.R.R. Tolkien's Ghost taps the mic: "Is this on? Yes, well, sorry, I just thought I should come back. You see, I made a slight mistake. It's meant to be pronounced Jandalf."

<chaos erupts>

J.R.R. Tolkien's Ghost pauses, and ponders, "Hmm. Should I tell them about Jaladriel?"

@backupbear Jil-Jalad, the elven king.
@jens @backupbear In Spanish it would be Jil-Galad, so... not that far fetched.
@delawen @backupbear Not to be confused with a meme Gif-Salad.
@backupbear Pronouncing him Gay R.R. Tolkien in return, as a bit.
@backupbear Oooooof. I felt this one
@backupbear "also, if you're going to shorten my name it's pronounced gir"
@backupbear Compression did this joke no favors

@backupbear

<grey-bearded audience members leap up and point angrily at the ghost>

"We are the servants of the G-as-in-GIF, wielders of the Internet Flame! Go back to the Shadow, luser!"

"We put on our robe and wizard hat!"

"Rolling for damage!" 🎲
