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."

"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!"
