Maybe it’s 'cause I just read another thread about Craigslist m4m but… Every one of those offerings sounds dirty. ---

“Hobbit Hole breakfast”, “Gandalf’s Gobble Melt”, “Shire sausage”, “Hobbit Slam”, “Lonely Mountain Treasure”, “Ring Burger”… I feel like I just read an LOTR slash fic. ---

Great minds and all. _shudder_ (And I have to say, go marketing and awareness and ad campaigns and all, but shit, the older I get, the more crass all this seems. “throw a character name on it, snip a screen-shot, and off we go into more money!” Gah - I’m getting old. ---

I’ll admit, I had a good chuckle from this. On one hand, it’s such a cheesy and sell-out disrespectful cash-grab that it’s almost not to be believed. And on the other hand, it’s so delightfully smarmy and inappropriate that it’s hard to not approve wholeheartedly. Second Breakfast at Denny’s… Good grief. ---

I’m going in a different direction, and assuming that Second Breakfast at Denny’s is an appropriate follow-on to Breakfast at Tiffany’s (especially when breakfast at Tiffany’s is basically a donut and a cup of coffee). So, to the tune of _Moon River_: _Moons over My Hammy Ham and eggs and cheese I’ll have the hash browns, please With that…_ And that’s where the writer’s block kicks in. HELP! ---

That sausage looked WAY too big to be from the Shire. I liked this comment: “What has he got lodged in his colonses?” ---
