Why. Because while you want to appear as the big strong warrior to your pals, you don't want to be the big strong warrior, really... winning for him is easy, see. You wanna say you earned what you have, that you did the impossible, the little guy who won, who started at the bottom and as the smallest. That's why you secretly want to be a hobbit. It's okay. I'm not criticizing anyone. I'm just sayin.

If the mutherfuckers that had to take that ring to Mordor weren't hobbits that story wouldn't be half as good.

twice as good with halflings?

Well, my moms once went to a James Brown concert by pure chance wearing the same thing as him, and the godfather of soul pointed her out in the audience. The hardest working man in showbiz hailed my moms. The papa with a brand new bag, the supabad sex machine. Don't believe it?

How many 'moms' do you have? She didn't say he pointed her out anyway. Just 'smiled'. I don't think the people on stage can even see individual audience members.
Can you say 'anything' without sounding as if you are yelling at the person? Your poor mother must be a nervous wreck.

Man, I'm tellin' ya if you watch all the Tolkien movies in a back to back marathon you will experience a reality crash when they're over and be sick for days.

One thing that wasn't right at all: when Legolas, Stryder and Gimli are on that three day run without horses they constantly portray Gimli as lagging behind and out of breath.

In fact, according to the universally accepted D&D formulae, dwarves have more endurance and stamina than humans and elves. In truth, it would have been nap time for Stryder and Legolas long before Gimli even needed to stop to take a leak.

Watched the Tolkien documentaries recently, too. Said the hobbits were he and the people of his town shrunk down and living an idyllic life far away from the belching factories of Mordor (London... or some other nearby big city it was, can't remember). The whole thing is a quest to stop the modernization of our middle erf by taking the Ring of Elon to the fire before he and his capitalist orcs turn the whole world into a giant factory machine.

Any volunteers? We need someone fit for a burglar.
