I’m just trying to hide the evidence. Hey, wait a minute. Sam & Frodo didn’t need any steenkin’ lawn chairs or beanbag chairs! They sat on the ground like the grubby little hobbits they were. [looks at wreckage of fence, thinking **tigerkitty** did that with her bare hands] umm… but maybe they would have used beanbag chairs if they had some? Yeah, that’s it. ---

What’s a 1420? Can I try? Where’s the mulled wine? I don’t want any beer, to be honest. Hey **Ethilrist**! Back off of \*\*Tigerkitty \*\* unless you want us to eat _you_. ---

:Clothahump wanders in through the open front door, which is hanging by one hinge: This Lobsang’s place? What’s left of it, anyway? Good. I’ve got about 40 pounds of brisket, cabrito and dragon steaks out in the trunk. Would somebody gimme a hand carrying them out to the fire pits? Ummmm…I think there’s too much wood in the fire pits, guys. Should the flames be causing the edge of the roof to smolder like that? ---

**Elenia28** , a right proper 1420 is the ale of choice for movie night like this. Take this one, I’m off for more. Maybe **Kythereia** hasn’t finished off the keg yet. ---
