Merry Brandybuck has just left Hobbiton.

Indeed........well, I was sort of right.

And I could never keep track of your family, Cousin Frodo. I mean, Bilbos not even your Uncle. Cousin thrice removed on either side, or something to that effect, if I remember correctly (which is seldom).

Everyone presumes Sam was a Harfoot, because Harfoots were the most common type of hobbit and Tolkiens description of a Harfoot fots Sam more accurately than that of a Stoor or Fallohide.

Thanks for typing all that out.
Let's get this straight:
Bilbo and Frodo - Harfoot, with a strong Fallohidish strain.
Pippin - Strongly Fallowhididh (being a Took)
Me (Merry) - A fallohidish Stoor.
Sam - Harfoot
