Mathom: “Anything that Hobbits had no immediate use for, but were unwilling to throw away, they called a mathom. Their dwellings were apt to become rather crowded with mathoms, and many of the presents that passed from hand to hand were of that sort."

No harm in praising all that worthless stuff cluttering up ones house I suppose. ;)

Mathom is indeed ancient lore and the fact that you are now familiar with his gospel also means that you are about to receive his blessings.

Something Mathom should probably be a Muro award about something. Would it be embarrassing for somebody if I did a database count of unpublished subs and see who has the most in work?

Hmm, seems like a great thread to compile all the subs I'm going to work on.

The list should be ready in no time.
The old man, grey-haired, braid hanging down.
He is clothed in faded brown robes.
His craggy face is turned up, bathed in moonlight;
He looks for his goddess to smile upon him.
