	Well, I've kept quiet until now.  In a former life, my company had
Tolkein names too.  Then I arrived.  I had been introduced to "Bord of the
Rings" by Harvard Press.  An obvious ripoff, but quite fun!  The characters
in that book were similar to the originals, but were usually product names.
GoodGulf Grayteeth, Frito, Moxie, Pepsi, and Spam just to name a few.  Since 
I placed little name plaques on each machines, they got some very strange 
looks, indeed!
