Have a very Happy Hobbit Day Everyone.

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Today is September 22nd. For nearly 30 years I have been celibrating the birthdays of Bilbo & Frodo Baggins on this day.
The celibrating is simple, if you like the Lord of the Rings or the Hobbit, just wish someone a happy Hobbit day.*

So for Dope purposes just post a quote or passage or something you loved about the books or even the movies.

If you’re celibrating, does that mean you’re not getting any today?

Happy Birthday to the Baggins’.

Hobbits are generally inferior to gnomes. At least a gnome is good for punting. Hobbits have lousy aerodynamics and don’t fly as far.

No, it means I hit Submit by accident instead of Preview. A sad day mistake indeed, at least it was not in the Title.
Of course it would be reasonable to assume that a person that **celebrates ** Hobbit day would not be getting any. :wink:

Hobbit Day is ok, but it can’t be better than Orc Heritage Day. Alas, it only comes around every 4 years.

(I didn’t write that post but I wish I did.)

I strongly suspected this thread would die and early death. I guess correctly.

What? Miss a chance to quote JRRT? Methinks not!

“The burned hand teaches best. After that, advice about fire goes to the heart.”

I think. I didn’t look it up.

Or like this: http://www.gothpunk.com/~kmactane/quenya/sounds/elen-sila-najetovic.mp3

This version has a bit more emotional content, IMHO.
