Thermobaric Bomb Destroys Hobbit Hole

Thermobaric Bomb Destroys Hobbit Hole

In a shocking development from Down Under, New Zealand's Air Force today used a thermobaric bomb to destroy the "Hobbit Hole" recently dug in Wellington.

In a statement, the acting NZ Defence Minister, known simply as "GuillermoX", said "The Ministry hopes this will serve as a warning to all those who build such caves to conceal the terrorists in our country."
He added, "Can anyone else look at the sun and see anything?"

Carl Gifford, a stonemason from Wellington, says he used a 10-tonne digger to make the hole.
Claims Mr Gifford, "I just got done building the chimney and lantern on top! I wasn't hurting anybody, honestly!"

The house was a part of a series of stonework mounds, designs and sculptures dotted around his land, until they were all destroyed this evening.

Mr Gifford was reported to have barely escaped through a dimensional door with his life.
The fate of any Hobbits, Orcs, Elves, moose, cheese lovers, alien pirates or even terrorists who did not escape the Hole is currently unknown.
Lord of the Rings fans were reportedly NOT amused.

Disclaimer:
Moderators and FReepers,
This is HUMOR. Humor-impaired LOTR fans should stay in their Hobbit Hole.
Further, GuillermoX has not endorsed this thread in any way.
Please do not flame Constitution Day. He is only joking.
He is only having a bit of fun and does not want to kill the Hobbit Hole thread...
maybe just injure it a little.

Any chance for a daisy cutter on the Green Dragon Inn?

They'll probably use a bunker-buster on that one.

Hopefully, the Road Runner (or, heck, for that matter, Osama) was inside.

I am reporting now from the Hobbit Hole, where contrary to earlier reports, we are just fine, and have in fact not been bombed.

I did burn some seed-cakes earlier, so if you saw some smoke, that may have been it!

Terrible, just terrible. Next time use a real weapon.

Of course they didn't realize that it's protected by one of Gandalf's spells. :)

CD, how could you bomb my Hobbit Hole?

Just don't break the dishes!

Smash the dishes and crack the plates.
That's what Bilbo Baggins hates
