Glaurung

I was going for Swedish but sure, Danish works

The Swedes like putting an extra 'c' in front of the 'k': "tack". And the Norwegians have a double 'k' for no obvious reason: "takk". Only the Danes keep the spelling as simple as possible, and then they probably don't pronounce at least one of the consonants.

Tusky

Indeed, that's why I said "going for" because I didn't bother to search for the spelling.

Anyway: Win!

Anywin.

Glaurung

Ah, fair enough. I was surprised by the variation in spelling when I checked - I thought they were all the same.

And yes: a win, a palpable win!

Tusky

A surfeit of success, say I

Glaurung

Probably better than a surfeit of lampreys.

Tusky

Quite.

A glut of glory

Glaurung

Again, better than a gut of gory, which sounds quite grim, and possibly induced by a surfeit of lampreys. Hopefully none of us is Henry I, so this shouldn't be a problem.

Tusky

Well I can't speak for anyone else but I am certainly not he.

I am a different normal human with good old fingers and toes that I use all the time.

Glaurung

Oh good. It would be a shame to have fingers and toes and not use them.

I sense the brevity of early-morning caffeine deprivation just barely overcome by the desperate need for victory. Or maybe you were just in a hurry.

Now the twitches from too much caffeine?
