I would like to point out... [In reply to] Can't Post

that in the Veggietales parody of LOTR, called 'The Lord of the Beans' (yes, I have it), hobbits are legitimately called flobbits.

Perhaps, in honor of the flop-madness that has overtaken this thread, we should refer to them as floppits?

I can't remember this quote exactly, but here is my floppized version: Gandalf: "You can learn everything about floppits in a month, and yet in a hundred years they can still surprise you."

"Flop now! Flop for Gondor!"

How do you take 'precious' and floppize it? My Floppous? Laugh

"I had forgotten that. It is hard to be sure of anything among so many marvels. The world is all grown strange. Elf and Dwarf in company walk in our daily fields; and folk speak with the Lady of the Wood and yet live; and the Sword comes back to war that was broken in the long ages ere the fathers of our fathers rode into the Mark! How shall a man judge what to do in such times?"

"As he ever has judged. Good and ill have not changed since yesteryear; nor are they one thing among Elves and Dwarves and another among Men. It is a man's part to discern them, as much in the Golden Wood as in his own house."
