The Professor's Birthday!: Bingo Bolger-Baggins

[bingo_bolger_baggins]

Hello! I'm taking a break from the current storyline here to celebrate Professor John Ronald Reuel Tolkien's birthday today. It's 117 years since he was born. Please join me in raising a glass to him in a toast.



Care for a glass of champagne? I know I have some more glasses around here.



Are you ready? On the count of 3 . . .




TO THE PROFESSOR!!!!!



Without whom I wouldn't be here. In my retro-draft glory. Now I'm exhausted. Please have some more, so I don't finish it all myself and start singing Elvish karaoke, like some others around these parts.

Here's to the Professor! *clinks glasses with Bingo*

Lavender, I love the itty bitty glass and champagne bottle. They're perfect! And when he's sitting on the bench outside Bag End it looks like he's in a charming little Paris cafe with garden seating.

I will have to send a like to jan-u-wine so she can see this, if you haven't told her already. She's toasting the Professor herself tonight, but at an actual Tolkien get-together, not on line, lucky dog. :)

Yay, thank you!

But he's not the only hobbit doll running around LJ with champagne lately, which is what lbilover and I are talking about above. Though I warn you there is full frontal plasticness to be found here (http://lbilover.livejournal.com/370873.html), such that it upset the sensibilities of some bored picture security checker at photobucket who took down one of her pics--won't someone think of the Cabbage Patch baby dolls who might be scarred by such pics! (-;

Heee, Jan and Bingo have become fast friends over at his first entries--they're still conversing, much to his total delight. :-D
