Bilbo: "I don't need the extinguisher, I can put it out by my own methods! Concentrate...feel the force flow through you...concentrate..."

Someone in the crowd: "Just use the extinguisher already!!"

One extinguisher to rule them all
One extinguisher to find them
One extinguisher to bring them all
And in the darkness ... extinguish them

-- OR --

If only it read:

"Ash ghash durbatuluk
Ash ghash gimbatul
Ash ghash thrakatuluk
Agh burzum-ishi ghabatul"

then they would be ready.

Bilbo was the only one sensible enough to take precautions where Gandalf's dodgy fireworks were concerned.

Bilbo stood ready with his canister of helium in case the doll who popped out of the cake needed a little touch-up reinflation.

The Hobbits held their breath and their noses as they waited for Bilbo's grand finale to his Le Petomane of The Shire act.

Bilbo reading the instructions on how to operate the extinguisher

Bilbo: Wait! This doesn't seem quite right...

1. Hold extinguisher firmly
2. Pull out ring *handwritten* from your pocket

Ahhh that gollum trying to trick me again!



(sorry this was funnier in my mind because I had a hand drawn image)

Bilbo: Listen, ladies and gentleman! I, the amazing Bilbo, will defy the powers of nature, by eating this flaming cake, and living to tell the tale!

Hobbits: *gasps!*

Bilbo: Now folks, this amazing act of superhuman strength is extremely dangerous! I have filled this tub behind me with water, in the event that I am lit on fire!

Hobbits: *gasps again!*

Bilbo: And my only help will be this magical red bottle, discovered in the deepest of dwarf-halls during my exotic travels across the known world!

Hobbits: *ooooh*

The mob of disappointed Michael Delving Museum tourists finds the stolen antique fire extinguisher...

Bilbo: "Wait! I can explain this! It's not what it looks like!"


p.s. "Wow, my 500th post in Crazy Captions..."

Bilbo desperately needed a way to convince the hobbits that carbon dioxide does taste good on cake.

Bilbo: Don't blame me! No one told me there was someone in the cake. It's Hobbit tradition to set the cake on fire anyway... isn't it?

The rowdy audience knew to shut up when Bilbo was speaking — apart from the unfortunate Dwarf on the left of the pic. He learned the hard way.




*Incidentally, is the Caption thread taking far longer to load these past couple of days?

Bilbo: "Kids, this is what being old is all about. You get to eleventy-one and you can no longer blow out all the candles on your cake without help."

Samwise (whispering to Rosie): "That's just an excuse. The old duffer just likes mucking around with fire extinguishers. That's why he never got taken on as a FireHobbit all those years ago..."






*yes!

Some are blessed with exceptional looks. Some are blessed with great intelligence. Some are blessed with both. Butterbur was blessed with neither.

It was painfully obvious that the villagers' first choice of burning Proven Wolf Bilbo wasn't going to work...

Frodo just couldn't handle the intenseness of Listerine!

Or...

Frodo regretted not having flossed when his teeth dissolved.

Or...

Oh come on, he is so faking it...

Or...

Fro: If anyone makes another Uncloaked joke, I'll be sick!

Or...

Fro v.o.: And I don't know what kinda doo-doo meats was in that gumbo, but I had ta PYOOOKE!
