Gotta hand it off to @Burnt Toast here, I can't stop picturing Frodo's hair about to turn bright blonde now (with accompanying endless yell of course). :lol:

They were in the middle of nowhere, being chased by foul, powerful servants of darkness, they lacked food, had been devoured by insects in the marshes, were lost and following a stranger into who knows where, in an attempt to get rid of a Ring that could literally doom the world.

"This is fine." said Pippin.

The photoshoot wasn't going well. "I said look casual, not constipated!" the photographer yelled, frustrated after 6 hours. The scarves definitely were not going to be selling well.

Pippin was not impressed with Aragorn's survival skills.

"Gandalf would have a fire started by now and we would not have missed second breakfast."

Pippin missed second breakfast so much that the smell of burning orc flesh was starting to become appetizing.

Bilbo's students had hoped he did not actually read their theses, and had filled the middle pages with recipes for ice cream and Lorem ipsum copy-paste. But Bilbo DID read them.

@Lirimaer - haha! I had heard another version, but never with the reference to the wind changing. I didn't realize that was a thing. I thought you were just adding a weird/random factor to the old saying. #themoreyouknow

Bilbo was the first person to ever read Amazon's Terms & Conditions, and was alarmed to discover not only did he sell his soul, but would also be on call to provide Jeff Bezos full body massages 2 weekends a month.

Bilbo wanted to try a different ointment for stiff joints but the list of side effects was quite extensive...

Elrond stalked out of the fashion show. Second place, just because of a little male-pattern baldness? It wasn't like he was 2,000 years old anymore!

Ok, I have to give this one to @Laintaen. War and Peace is indeed a long book (and no, I have not read it. Reading the first page was enough).

Thanks Dimcarien. Neither have I read War and Peace, nor anything by Tolstoy. Though I did read The Brothers Karamotsov and it was long enough. One sentence went for 13 lines, one paragraph went for 10 pages, and one speech went for 38 pages!

Here's my entry...
