Success!



If you want to make sure your kid is forever disinterested in LOTR, try starting them off with The Hobbit, but make sure it's the version with this cover.



My dad got me this as a kid, and it worked like a charm! I could not have been more disinterested in the adventures of some fat doofus.

Do you want the good news or the bad news? The bad news is that Smaug has burned down your village. Gutting, I know. On the bright side, I found this ring, so...

There’s no good news Bilbo, there’s only bad news and irrelevant news.

Real talk Tom bombadil was one of my favorite guys in the books because while everyone is running around all dramatic like fighting dumb wars, he's just skipping through the woods high as a kite doing his own thing and sometimes saving idiots who get lost near his woods. He also has a mega hot wife that I presume he bonka bim bones every night.

It's just his songs and all the other songs are so very annoying.

my kids were clamoring for a bedtime story one night when it was really, really late and I was exhausted, so I pretend-angrily read them the first chapter of Finnegan's Wake, bowdlerizing the obvious cusses.

they thought it was hilarious

There's a story about Lewis and Tolkien panning Snow White because Disney was some dumb farm boy and imagine what it might have been had it been made by someone with education.

So it's pretty funny they got their opuses adapted by Disney and fuckin' Ralph Bakshi, lol.

interesting that it was two people who suck saying that. i wondered if they ever stepped back and considered that as people who suck they probably shouldn't throw stones

iirc the first Moomin comic strip album starts with Moomintroll trying to drown himself and is fished up by Moominpappa who thinks it's barrel of whiskey
