"The Hobbit" 70th Anniversary Celebration!!! Can't Post

Belive it or not, next Friday marks the 70th anniversary of the publication of The Hobbit, by our beloved J.R.R. Tolkien!! Yes, The Hobbit was first published on September 21, 1937! And, to add to the celebration, Bilbo and Frodo's birthdays are the following day, September 22.

To celebrate this momentous occasion, I thought we'd have a week-long celebration here on Main of Hobbity things, culminating in a day mostly dedicated to The Hobbit next Friday. Limericks, quizzes, pictures, experiences, are all welcome. Post them as you can during the week, or save them for Friday! Birthday expressions, and/or mathoms for Bilbo and Frodo are also welcome through Saturday. We'll also be having a special Fiesta Friday on the Off-Topic board next week for the occasion.

Let's celebrate! (like this crowd needs an excuse Wink)

AWESOME! :D [In reply to] Can't Post

I'll be there with bells on and my feet neatly brushed!

Isn't it amazing that it's already been 70 years!!!! I know the good Professor didn't embrace the fandom, but I wish he could see how much his works mean to people and the joy that's come from them... not to mention the very personal, quiet read we enjoy whenever we need to go home.

Thanks Altaira!! I'll see if I can come up with something to celebrate during the week!

I have already... [In reply to] Can't Post

begun to spread the word to my friends and family....which usually results in the same responses, "You are such a geek" or "Um, do you work? Or do anything else?"

Personally I'm getting tired of the eye rolls.....try something new will ya!! Sheesh!

What's the matter, James? No glib remark? No pithy comeback?"
