The Grabbit
Most people have some experience with those crane machines…trying to get the stuffed toy, iPod, or whatever other novelty item may be in the machine with nothing but three pincers and your own steady-handedness. And most of us failed miserably…some more miserably than others. So we all know how poor […]
Bilbo Nouveau
Bilbo Baggins is certainly an exceptional hobbit. Some might even say the most exceptional of all hobbits. He was the first hobbit to keep company with the likes of Wizards and Dwarves. He was the first hobbit to set off on adventures to the Misty Mountains and fight dragons. And […]
Halfling Feet
I wish that I had Halfing feet Like Brandybucks and Tooks I’d go adventuring with Dwarfs for gold And spend a lifetime writing books I’d travel ‘cross Middle Earth And vanquish all our foes I’d fight the Riders and the Orcs All with hairy toes I’d simply walk to Mordor […]
Greetings from the Shire
Hobbits have been living and farming in the four Farthings of the Shire for many hundreds of years. Quite content to ignore and be ignored by the world of the Big Folk – Middle-earth being, after all, full of strange creatures beyond count. Hobbits must seem of little importance, being […]
Elect Baggins
The Shire has been faced with increasing uncertainty and an influx of unsavory types in modern times: Dark Riders crossing the Brandywine, the virtual takeover of the Shire by Sharkey and his goblins; and worst of all (for Australians) an increasing number of cashed-up bogans starring in their own “scripted” […]
Longbottom Leaf
Sure, this is a Lord of the Rings inspired design, but I’d like to thing there are elements of Harry Potter too. In the Harry Potter world Neville Longbottom became somewhat of a horticulturalist specializing in various genus of plants and lo and behold in the Shire Longbottom Leaf is the most popular variety of […]
Wizards Rule
Lord of the Rings. The Hobbit. Harry Potter. Legend of the Seeker. Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The Princess Bride. Willow. Big Trouble in Little China. What do these great books, movies and TV shows have in common? Wizards. Gandalf. Harry Potter. Zeddicus Zu’l Zorander. Tim the Enchanter. Miracle […]
221B Bag End
Is it mere coincidence that Sherlock Holmes and John Watson’s alter egos – Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman – are both in The Hobbit? What with filming commitments and schedule conflicts (and because both enjoy good tilled earth), it was decided it would just be easier for the consulting detective […]
