A drunk Gaffer, busted by the Shirrifs on his way home from the Green Dragon, starts pelting the two with potatoes from his garden. Shirrif Basil Proudfoot takes a swing at a potato with his staff, connects solidly, and clocks the Gaffer in the head with the spud. The unconscious Gaffer is hauled to the Lockholes to sleep it off (Frodo later bails him out). Once word of Proudfoot's exploit gets around, Hobbit kids all over the Shire immediately start throwing potatoes at each other and hitting them with sticks. Adding a new twist, other Hobbit kids try to catch the hit potatoes. A canny Hobbit mother substitutes a ball because she's tired of cleaning smashed potatoes from her offspring's clothes. Thus the game of Basil Ball (later shortened to Baseball) is born!
With caffeine, all things are possible. The pity of Bilbo will screw up the fate of many.

a striking resemblance to the Golfimbul V Bandaborus Took=Golf story. I say to avoid jail time the Gaffer would drop some names. He's in with the wealthier folks in Hobbiton.

No one can touch him, not even Sauron.

He's the GAFFER. He can't be taken down by anyone.
I'll be leading the Reading Room discussion of The Two Towers: The Road to Isengard on the week of May 26--June 1. Be sure to stop by! Has anyone ever wondered what would have happened if Smaug had ate Bilbo, and therefore the ring? It would be interesting to see Sauron send orcs to go diving for the Ring.

The Gaffer doesn't have to lift a finger with all those sons of his. And as we're talking about a gardening family, there's bound to be hoes, shovels, maybe even pruning-hooks and pitchforks involved--more than a match for any staffs. I say the Gaffer walks free.
My website http://www.dreamdeer.grailmedia.com offers fanfic, and message-boards regarding intentional community or faerie exploration.
