Happy JRR Tolkien Day!

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (January 3, 1892 – September 2, 1973), author of The Hobbit and The Lord Of The Rings was born this day, and I can honestly state that I do not know anybody whose life wasn’t made a little happier for it.

THIS THREAD celebrates, with jokes & recollections, the birth of Issac Asimov. Let’s do this thread a little differntly–

Everybody knows that Hobbits have big, hairy feet.

What else, if anything, is [list=a]
[li]big[/li][li]hairy[/li][li]or both[/li][/list]
on a Hobbit?
Points for original/non-obscene answers!

[wheelie]

Appetites! The biggest part of any hobbit.

[Bookkeeper]

Their ears, of course!

[Revtim]

Their prostates?

Good gawd. The Lord of the Rings thing is never going to die, is it? It’s just going to perpetuate until it has frayed my very last nerve.

Yes, it’s a Commie Plot. We’re all in on it. The whole SDMB. :rolleyes:

The Red Menace.

Yup, that’s us.

We won’t stop until we have you singing!

Where there’s a whip, there’s a way.
Where there’s a whip, there’s a way.
We don’t wanna go to war today,
But the lord of the lash says nay, nay, nay!
We’re gonna march all day, all day, all day,
Cause where there’s a whip, there’s a way.
Left, right, left, right, left, right
Left, right, left, right, left, right
Left, right, left, right, left, right

You are so going to hell for that!

Darn it, Bosda! You forgot to uncheck the “Make this thread required reading even for people who aren’t interested” box when you posted!

Wasn’t Shelob pretty hairy? She was big, that’s for sure.

Hey…that’s the chance you take when you post on a message board (or should I say “bored.”)
