Today, September 22nd, is national Hobbit Day in the US.

How should we celebrate?

The Hobbit Day and Bob's birthday on the same day......

...hmmmmmm....

I'm sure there is a pun in there somewhere, but I can't put my finger on it...

Just don't make a hobbit of looking for puns, Farm.

I try but I just keep coming back to SpongeBob ScoPantz.

How come there's no Sauron day, nor Nazgul day? I call PREJUDICE! [Mad]

Posted by Belle (Member # 2314) on :

There's no elf day either, so quit yapping.

I think it has something to do with that whole ring business - yeah, like the hobbits are so special because one of them managed to get his finger bitten off and drop a ring.

Gee, that took courage. [Roll Eyes]

Posted by TMedina (Member # 6649) on :

There's no elf day, but I think the peroxide industry is making a push for something similar.

Although I have to second the "Appreciate your Villain" day - without villains, we'd never really understand the heights of goodness to which the hero(es) may aspire.

Seedcakes.

(I had a lemon-poppyseed cookie this morning, and I'm thinkin' that just might count.)

We should raise out voices in praise, of course!

Everyone, eat today in celebration of Hobbit Day.

It's 11:50 here, I'm late for elevensies!

It's Bobbit day! [Big Grin]

Wow, that was terrible. [Wall Bash]

Sorry guys. Shutting up.

Posted by TMedina (Member # 6649) on :

Yes, but Belle - what goes best with hobbit, ketchup or tobasco?

I was thinking maybe hobbit toes with honey mustard...

Ugh.. I just had three crab cakes at lunch with a huge salad... uuuu.... my tummy... I think I went past filling in the corners... *burp* too full.... *gag*

Posted by Starla* (Member # 5835) on :

hey! It's my birthday, too!

Ain't I special. [Big Grin]

It's also the pagan harvest festival, Mabon.

Ain't I real special...and Bob, too.

Which Bob? Scopatz?

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

Happy birthday, Starla! [Smile]

Posted by FoolishTook (Member # 5358) on :

Yay for the hobbits! I'll celebrate by embracing my short, fat self...if I can get my arms around my stomach, that is.

Posted by TMedina (Member # 6649) on :

Funny, I thought that was another thread topic, Took.

Hobbits is good eaten.

And lets cut off the Bobbit jokes at the source, shall we.

Posted by TMedina (Member # 6649) on :

Wow, I'd say someone's stumped for good puns.

Not to belittle any implied humor, mind you - but we will be cutting it short.
