Enough of the silliness -- time for something a bit more serious.
A pants thread! If we've done this already, I missed it. Thanks, Arandiel, for the nudge. Wink


Bilbo: “There was the city of Dale, its pants stretched far and wide, full of the bounties of vine and vale, crease-full and ponderous. For these pants lay before the doors of the greatest wardrobe in Middle-earth: Erebor. Stronghold of Thror, King under-Pants, mightiest of the dwarf lords.”

Balin: “You forget: the front zipper is sealed. There is no way into the pants.”

Balin: “I wouldn’t bother, laddie. Pants are named for the great deeds they do in bed.”

Thorin: “Our underwear is no concern of elves.”
Gandalf: “For goodness sake, Thorin, show him your pants!”
Thorin: “They are the legacy of my people; they are mine to protect, as are their secrets.”

Elrond: “So this is your purpose, to enter the Pants.”

Thorin: “Master Baggins, I suggest you keep your pants up.”

Why the half-ling?
Perhaps it is because he has a nice pair of pants.

In a hole in the pants there lived a hobbit.
Not nasty, dirty, wet pants, filled with the ends of threads and an oozy smell, nor yet dry, bare, sandy pants: it was hobbit-pants, and that means comfort waistband.


I am SMAUG! I kill when I wish! I am strong, strong, STRONG!

Gandalf presents Bilbo with Pants
Gandalf: "Here Bilbo, these are about your size"

Bilbo: "I can't take these"

Gandalf: "The pants are of Elvish make. They will glow blue when orcs or goblins are nearby"

Bilbo: " I've never worn pants in my life"

Gandalf: "And I hope you never have to. But if you do, true courage is not when to wear pants, but when to have a spare pair".
'"Never laugh at live dragons, Bilbo you fool!" he said to himself, and it became a favourite saying of his later, and passed into a proverb.'

Balin: "You have built a new life for us in the Blue Mountains, a life of peace and plenty. A life that is worth more than all the pants in Erebor."

Thorin: "From my grandfather to my father, these pants have come to me. They dreamt of the day when the dwarves of Erebor would reclaim all their pants. There is no choice Balin, not for me."

Balin: "Then we are with you, laddie. Pantsless though we are, we will see it done."

Bilbo: "For God's sake, just borrow some of mine! And stop walking around my home pantsless!"

As always, this passage was chosen at random from the book:
 

Quote
Although it was not yet very cold, they tried lighting their pants at night, but they soon gave that up. It seemed to bring hundreds and hundreds of eyes all round them.

Proving, as always, that nearly any line of Tolkien can be successfully pantsed.
