but scrapped the idea when Sir Leon, on covert reconnaissance, had reported him to be dumber than a post. LOVE THIS!!

Hee, that's pretty much the exact reaction I was shooting for :)

although I desperately want to quote a billion lines at you, here are a few of my favs:

because Merlin liked to make things as difficult as possible -- like the time he'd refused to fall for Arthur, which only happened to be all the time.

Well, that would soon change, if Arthur had anything to say about it. And he did.

There once was a fellow named Merlin, he wrote.

It took him till the next morning to finally decide to scrap the poem, as, continuing in his trend of hampering romantic progress, Merlin had a name that rhymed with absolutely nothing.

oh, my god:
And though he had brought his dagger with him to do some quick and dirty topiary work of his own, the watchful gaze of the groundskeepers compelled him to leave the rose bushes unscathed for the moment. Galling, really, that he couldn't even destroy his own hedges if he wanted to.

hahaha:
Arthur frowned to himself; dealing with Merlin these days was as tortured as making up metaphors on dealing with Merlin

Thanks for picking these out; I'm always interested to know what lines strike people's fancies! :)
