The New Hobbit Hole

Uh... no. They accepted and then killed him, treacherous creatures. That's what comes of being an inferior species.

Two weeks this past Sunday they had a wonderful write-up on our Annual Polka Party Day. It was an A-list event. I read that Gimli even showed up this year and premiered his new "Snow Pants Polka." I heard it went over big with the Royals.

Ahem! I'm quite sure your report was mistaken. It could not possibly have been Gimli engaging in such unseemly (undwarvely) behavior. Why, the Khazad Dum Times Tribune reports that for that same period he was entertaining very important guests from Rhovannon... The write-up here says,"Gimli's guests remarked upon the fine quality and "ripeness" of the meat off the bone, as well as praising the fine malt beer and roaring fires".

So I think the entertainer you had was that twisted elf Shamlis, who thinks to disguise himself as a dwarf so as to tarnish dwarvish reputations. I mean, reallllly now, "snow pants"??? Come on now, did he have a little Santa Claus hat, too. Ummm hmmmm, I thought so. Snow Pants Polka, my eye. Silly little elvish tripe. Did you know there is a warrant out for Shamlis's arrest in these parts? Oh yes, you might want to consider turning him in if you run across him again. The rewards are quite well worth it! Gift certificates in quite liberal denominations to the famed TARZHAY DWARROWDELF.

No, they agreed on one price then got greedy. Sneaks!

Why that's Michael "Turgon" Corleone.

From The Godfather movies.

Oh. I haven't seen those movies. If I said he looked like "Lord Peter Wimsey", would you know what I meant?

OT, you know I mean that the Dwarves agreed on one price, did the job, and then insulted Thingol and demanded the Silmaril, right? The Silmaril that was Beren's gift to Thingol to win the hand of Luthien?
