Tolkien Moments

[Olorgando]

I just remembered I have a book by him (which I can't find). Didn't remember his name.

I've got that one too, with a different cover.

Jeopardy! clue today in the category "Literary Helpers"

Gandalf says to him, "You shall go away with Mr. Frodo!’"

 

[Squint-eyed Southerner]

Was the category "Sams"? 😄

 

[Radaghast]

No, but "Literary Sams" has a nice ring to it 😄

Another Jeopardy! clue today:

$600 21

In 2023 Post Malone paid big bucks for a card from this enduring card game that featured the one ring from "The Lord of the Rings"

I wonder if there's ever been a 'Final Jeopardy' question on Tolkien 🤔

In our household we are deeply steeped in the Hobbitly literary traditions. Sometimes at mealtime, when the provender is especially good or after a long day outside in the gardens when everyone is very hungry, there will be a long pause in the conversation as we tuck in enthusiastically. And then somebody will say: ... "twenty minutes steady going"... (invoking that moment in Bombadil's house). And it breaks the dam open and the words flow!

Posted about this in the Gardening thread as well, but I have been gardening like crazy these past few weeks and that always makes me feel very hobbit-ish.

Tolkien moments of today:
Went back at last to my current book on Tolkien's works, and started re-writing parts of Chapter 1 in preparation for moving into Chapter 2.
Also, sitting here on TTF discussing Tolkien matters, observing Tolkien nerds, and otherwise consuming time in Tolkien ways.
(I strongly suspect I'm not the only one who actually seeks out the consumption of time on Tolkien matters in Tolkien ways.)

I guess my neighbors can give directions to any wandering hobbits.

 

[Deimos]

@Starbrow .... Makes you wonder what you would find if you chose the "Mordor" direction.
(Personally, I don't think I would opt for that one 😬....)

Pointing in the opposite directions but pretty cool.

Well, that would depend which way you're facing. 😁 If you're facing south, east will be on your left.

I was facing west when I took the pictures, so they are definitely pointing in the wrong directions.
