    “I don’t know half of you as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve”
    🤣
    For all his flaws and short comings (no pun intended) the pity of Bilbo really did save the world
    The quintessential every man, the perfect mix of indoor Baggins and outdoor Took that we all relate to
    Always good for a pipe and is ready to ready welcome a traveler, even if not at first.
    May his memory and legacy, like the road, go ever on. ❤️

    “The Road goes ever on and on
    Out from the door where it began.
    Now far ahead the Road has gone,
    Let others follow it who can!
    Let them a journey new begin,
    But I at last with weary feet
    Will turn towards the lighted inn,
    My evening-rest and sleep to meet.” - Bilbo Baggins, Third Age 3019

    In the middle of the earth, in the land of the Shire
    There's a brave little hobbit whom we all admire
    With his long wooden pipe, fuzzy woolly toes
    Lives in a hobbit-hole and everybody knows him.
    Bilbo, Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
    Only three feet tall,
    Bilbo, Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
    The bravest little hobbit of them all
    Now hobbits are a peace-lovin' folk you know
    They're never in a hurry and they take things slow
    They don't like to travel away from home
    They just want to eat and be left alone.
    But one day Bilbo was asked to go
    On a big adventure to the caves below
    To help some dwarves get back their gold
    That was stolen by a dragon in the days of old.
    Bilbo, Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
    Only three feet tall,
    Bilbo, Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
    The bravest little hobbit of them all
    Well he fought with the goblins!
    He battled the trolls!
    He riddled with Gollum!
    The magic ring he stole!
    He was chased by wolves,
    Lost in the forest,
    Escaped in a barrel from the elf-king's halls.
    Bilbo, Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
    Only three feet tall,
    Bilbo, Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
    The bravest little hobbit of them all
    Now he's back in his home in the land of the Shire,
    That brave little hobbit whom we all admire,
    Just a-sittin' on a treasure of silver and gold,
    A-puffin' on his pipe in his hobbit-hole.
    Bilbo, Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
    Only three feet tall,
    Bilbo, Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
    The bravest little hobbit of them all!

    “No!” said Thorin. “There is more in you of good than you know, child of the kindly West. Some courage and some wisdom, blended in measure. If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. But sad or merry, I must leave it now. Farewell!”
    Thorin's final words to Bilbo reiterates that people are more important than material wealth like gold, and simple pleasures such as song and food make us happier than gold. Bilbo definitely took these words to heart and happy Hobbit Day Yoystan.

In peace and quiet, without a lot of relatives prying around, and string of confounded visitors hanging on the bell. I might find somewhere where I can finish my book. I have thought of a nice ending for it: and he lived happily ever after to the end of his days.”

I think your spirit and soul reminds me of the joy tolkien wanted to create in middle earth. Your videos are truely quality as well. Well edited and visually astounding and sound voice reading superior. I like geek zone as well bit I think it's just his accent and his style too similar to yours. Others do a fine job. Don't get me wrong. But men of the west is the best when it comes to middle earth lore or lotr lore I just say.

    I wrote a poem on Hobbits for Hobbit Day this year, please, please tell me if one of the lines or phrases sounds off, so hopefully I will be able to alter it to sound better.
    The hobbits of Hobbiton are great indeed,
    Not just the Baggins, Boffins, Bulgers ant Tooks,
    But Brandybucks, Grubs, Chubbs and Proudfoots!
    Or Proudfeet as one declared on the long-expected party night in the cool evening air,
    But on September 22nd we pay our respects to them all,
    the brave, the grave, the cheery and small
    To Bilbo Baggins let there be many cheers,
    Who still yearned for adventure, despite his years,
    He went to the mountains, then Rivendell to beyond the Sea,
    But his name is remembered in Hobbiton and Bree.
    To Pippin, who loved all foolish and fun,
    Let many praises and respect be won.
    Lets not forget Merry, who made us smile and laugh,
    He was like Pippin's other half.
    On Samwise Gamgee my memory stays,
    Remembering his simple lovable ways!
    To Frodo I bow on my knee,
    Remembering him to bore the burden so bravely.
    He fought against the will of the Ring,
    Not giving in to its tempting.
    He destroyed the Ring once and for all,
    bringing the Dark Lord to his final fall.
    Yes the Hobbits are kind and brave,
    So let us remember them on this great day!

    8:20 I think the greatest deed in all of middle earths history is rather when bilbo gave up the ring of his own volition 11:40. Even the movies encapsulated that moment perfectly, with the painful reluctance of bilbo's hand and the heavy thud of the ring touching the floor. Keep up the great vids, i love how you manage to squeeze an appropriate life lesson at the end of each one.
