Now why does Lindolirian's post make me think of Frodo sneaking mushrooms from Farmer Maggott's field? " Linfrodolirian"

This was, it seems to me, a very busy week on the forum. I haven't kept up with everything--which is a shame as I am sure there are other meritorious posts out there which deserve recognition-- but for now here are several posts which brought more than a wee chuckle to me this week.

Kransha's Hobbit Hooplah contains too many gems to quote here. Who could keep a straight face over the "legendary, elusive and often hunted homo legolasus" or Napoleon Bonaparte as the only French hobbit? It's as good on subsequent reads as on the first. We'll take your two kopecks' worth any week, Kransha.

Then there is Saucey's Lament for Celeborn . I'm sure that these pictures were indeed worth a thousand words and did more for Sauce's argument than any post on the Chapter by Chapter thread could have.

Deserving honourable mention for its proof that a good post need not imitate those of the Canonicity thread or Kalessin's rant is Rimbaud's one sentence reply on the "ONLY the Silmarillion" thread. It almost makes one wish burrahobbit would return also. Nice to have you back, Rim.

There were a great number of worthy posts on the Chapter by Chapter thread this week--Chapter 7, Galadriel's chapter, Book 2. An old nugget, Kalessin's Rant, proved that mining old threads can still bring forth treasures. And our hobbit discovery threads, from Child's serious thread to Lalwendë's mirth thread, were as good as a tankard or two.

I know I've missed threads and posts. Can anyone else suggest other posts they wish to single out for particular merit?
