I like these where Denethor is not Movie Denethor.

So much indicated by the two words "Carry on".

I think my side might split I am laughing so hard! That is hilarious. I don't usually find drunken humor funny--usually just pathetic. But this, I can see. I can so see him celebrating (and then over celebrating) being the youngest to reach that rank. And Denethor's 'carry on' is just perfect. Great job.

Well I must say *I* certainly didn't expect something like this when I came across the "Rank" thread in the forums!

This was absolutely wonderful! Inglor and Ellisk have the right of it, so much said in "carry on," and I, too, can see Boromir celebrating & then over celebrating. Once again, an excellent job!

I always love your characterisations of Denethor, Faramir and Boromir, but this yet again was wonderful. I didn't expect this, and like Ellisk I don't usually find drunk humour all that funny, just a bit gross, however you managed to make it something noble and heart-warming at the same time as funny. You know, I really would love to see a long piece on Denethor et al's story by you - I think you could really do the characters justice and with your style it'd be a great read.

LMAO, Nancy, I love the sound effect at the start!

I wonder if Denethor was remembering a drunken night of his own ...

An other excellent drabble Nancy!

This one was very clever, I have a perfect visual picture of Boromir hugging the chamber pot!

I love it! *grin* The reactions of both Boromir and Denethor are so natural written.

A great job with this one Nancy!!!

Poor, poor Boromir... but then, he's made his own bed, right? And Denethor is a dear: "Carry on." Wow. Great job!

Woooooooooo, hoooooooooooo, that was fun!

(How did I miss it before, eh?)

I like that, despite his current state, Boromir was still proud of his achievement and that his father acknowledged it. The final line delivers the punch.

Humorous; yes, still gross Wink smiley face, and very true.
