Who or what can't you currently tell a Hobbit from ?
 
Who or what (from a preferably humorous only point of view) can’t you currently tell a Hobbit from (whether it's any living or currently deceased person you admire or dislike, a fictional non-Tolkien book / film / TV / comic character of any kind that you admire or dislike, or any type of inanimate object).

Gotta give it a try!
 
Well, I find it difficult to see the difference between a Hobbit and Winnie the pooh. ;)

I don't see a difference between hobbits and headless teddy grams. Whenever I find one in the bag I usually name it "Sam" if it's a boy (arms down) or "Primula" if it's a girl (arms up). If it has no arms, it's Smeagol. Then I eat it. Lame, I know. But I've been doing it for years, so it's now become a habit.

Give our media buyer an umbrella and you've got a slighty taller version of Lobelia Sackville-Baggins, but perhaps that's just because I'm a very, very mean person.

A Hobbit Habit!

This calls for a rhyme/tongue-twister/thing! :smokin:

I had a hobby, well, a habit, heard a hobbit, had to have it. Had a hobbit heard of my habit? Whoever he was, my hobbit habit has had it.

I am sure the name must have been a clerical error...
 
since my second violin teacher was called Mrs Hobbins and was short and also, if looks are a guide, could have been related to Lobelia...

Random Titles straighten their hair....
 
Just give the music director of my school district some curly hair and hair feet, and you have Bilbo Baggins.

Well, one of my friends is a hobbit. Looks like one (all with the curly hair, well, perhaps he could have a little more on feet and also cannot walk much quietly, but otherwise it all fits pretty well), oh, and he is not only my friend, he is a distant cousin of mine. He is first son of the second daughter of my grandmother's sister, you see. I might add that their line is the most... hobbitish in our family.

Well, before I got messed up (long story) I was pudgy, curvy, curly haired, smiley hobbit lass myself...60 lbs and a buzz cut later, not so much.

Has anyone ever met Douglas A. Anderson, the auther of "The Annotated Hobbit"? 'Nuff said. :D

the guy who be short 04-15-2007 06:07 AM

There's an old man I used to see regularly on the bus. He was short, with a mass of curly hair. He also had a very grumpy looking face, leading me to believe he was an evil hobbit. I called him Bilbao.
