Hobbits died on FR. Haven’t seen a post on a Hobbit Hole thread come across the board in 10 years.
The all time greatest FR Hobbit thread is this one:
Thermobaric Bomb Destroys Hobbit Hole
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/639647/posts
That thread was a hoot and a half to post, almost as fun as when I posted Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back" translated into Latin.
