They only say this because some carvings listed Merry, Pippen and Sam.
Robert Reich’s ancestors?
Didn’t Randy Newman sing about these Hobbit Ancestors?
“Flores man” is thought to be a descendant of homo erectus...”
Sounds like the descendant of a florist in San Francisco...
Well, for this particular Hobbit, Newman may have penned multiple songs - not only the most obvious, but the Soundtracks to Monsters Inc, and the Princess & the Frog may be been biographically inspired by the aforementioned Homo floresiensis
Da plane, da plane!

You are a good sport, sir.
Bend the forks and crack the plates....
....that what Bilbo Baggins hates!!!
I wonder if they’ll use that in the movie? There’s so much charm in the book. Trying to jam the encounter with Gandalf, then the dwarves, then the trolls (the ones turned to stone) then Rivendell, then the climb over the Misty Mountains, capture by Goblins, encounter with Gollum, then the eagles, then Beorn, then Mirkwood, the spiders, the barrels, the Laketown, the various adventures on the Mountain including all the encounters with Smaug, the fetching of Dain, the battle, reunion with Gandalf, and (improbably) the long uneventful trip home, and the interrupted auction... yeah, they’re gonna cut out 75 percent of this stuff. :’(
;’)
Proto-hobbitses.
Chill, dude, they’re making 2 movies out of the book, same as they’re doing with Deathly Hallows (Harry Potter Book 7). Not only will everything good from the book be in there, there’ll be backstory like the White Council etc.
I would have preferred that the LOTR movies had numbered six, one for each “book”, but I suppose the budget wouldn’t allow that *and* a dwarf tossing.
I guess the question becomes, what does it have in its pocketses...
