1938 (2980 Shire reckoning) in a hole in the ground (not a nasty dark hole full of worms...etc, but a nice dry hole Samwise was born. It's reported the the first words spoken by Samwise were "John Kerry is an idiot, I'm hungry, Maureen Dowd is fat....and dresses funny, what's for lunch, FOOD." "Aging seems to be the only available way to live a long time." Happy Birthday
