Thanks for the clarity. Nice to know.

This meme reminds me of this song.

This is so hilarious and true! I always wondered if the Ring actively chose to slip onto Frodo's finger. It seemed only too much intended.

Actually, it's at 33.

That was one inside joke in chapter 1 of the book, "A Long-Expected Party". Bilbo and Frodo had birthdays on the same day, and at this party, it was Bilbo's 111th birthday, and Frodo's 33rd, with which he came of age. The inside joke was that in sum, this adds up to 144 - which is also a dozen dozens (or 12 squared), aka a gross - the number of people invited into the big party tent. Not all of them found this reference particularly funny ... 😏

I did get this joke. I was referencing the fact that Hobbits at 30 years of age, are still considered young. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

It having now been another 33 years since I reached Hobbit-coming-of-age, in long hindsight I entirely sympathize with roguebelle's opinion ... 😬

This is the most commentary on one joke since the Elf-girl incident. 😅

Don't recall that one ... but since you do, I'm assuming you were involved, for some reason ... 😁

I don't think I was present for this incident... Interesting...

It's back there, somewhere . . .
