...
My *counts backwards to first reading of The Hobbit* 12-year-old imagination provided me quite nicely with Gollum dressed in naught but a pair of truly rough looking breeches that he had swiped from something he ate.
What has our pantses got in its pocketses? The teeths from its former master. Gollum.
I didn't imagine a loin cloth until the movies came out, and even then, I wondered how that impressive little garment defied the laws of physics so admirably. Perhaps he had a pocket sewn onto his loin cloth? Or perhaps... *sprays imagination with Lysol* Yes... he had pants.
