Boba Rhett Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 That's right. Today would have been John Ronald Reuel Tolkien's eleventy-first birthday. Isn't that neat? In case any of you don't remember, that's how old Bilbo was in FotR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artoo Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 It makes me happy to see things like this, this really is a momentous day of coincidences for Tolkien and Middle-Earth, never to be repeated. Heh, not sure how much out of him you'll get YD. He considers his story not much more than an overgrown bedtime story for his some kids, I'm not sure if they're friends kids, or actual relatives, or what.

Lord Fergie Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 If only he had not died in '73 he would still be here. THat and every year after 73 but that's not important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THat and every year after 73 but that's not important Wow...really astute observation there. Secretly, I think that Tolkien was a closet hobbit fancier. A damn good storyteller, but a pervy hobbit fancier nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
