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.

Sorry, I just had images of doghair blown horizontal by the hurricane winds as Rover reported live while lashed to a tree.

In related news, Elrond named Mordor and Isengard as part of an "axis of evil" in Middle-Earth.

She can't have a hobbit hole, she wouldn't fit through the door.

Thanks, wimpycat!
Word has it that any Hobbit Holes here in eastern NC will be quickly "taken care of" by Pope AFB and Seymour Johnson AFB.
That's all I can say.

"Loose lips sink ships", you know.

Always hated those two.
