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.

Mr. Bingo looks adorable on his bench in the front garden of Bag End!
So you have a miniature Bag End too? It's absolutely cute, I'd love to see more pics of it, if you don't mind!!
And dear Mister Bingo, may I come visiting you at Bag End when you're not busy? You know, dear gentlehobbit, I have a weakness for little homes and hobbit holes!
*hugs you and Mr. Bingo*
