    Don’t worry…. it’s not like you’ll ever go back to it, Frodo….It’s one more door closed behind you.

    Is the True Ring hobbit-forming?

    Apparently wearing evil rings makes you grow hair on your feet………..

    @Godfreydaniel, hairy feet was standard and normal for hobbits; nothing to do with rings of any kind.

    @amxchesterI knew that, of course, and it’s true that if you have to explain a joke, it wasn’t likely to be much of a joke, but then again……..

    GodfreyD….. well, I got it….was surprised to see it “corrected.”

    But then, the internet is full of people who either don’t get jokes right away, or who are dismayed by all the misinformation they find on the web, and feel charged with the duty to correct it.

    You can find a lot more “misinformation” if you count jokes.

    OTOH … only one person so far was dismayed by my horrible line…was it just too subtle?

    Imagine. Me. Subtle.
