He's probably like "WTF is aragorn doing?"
Also reminds me of an old NSFW (And now probably considered racist) joke. Let me know if ye want to hear it...

If the joke is "probably considered racist" I would just as soon not see it here (or anywhere), so perhaps you could share it privately with whoever might be interested.
Looking forward to Inanna posting a new quote.

Is it related to Old Man Willow?

Said by Bilbo?
If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

Must be in The Hobbit.
Is the word "legs" in the quote?

Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!
Hmmmm? Is it related to Bilbo being stuck over a line or two in a song about Eärendil?

Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!
So, it is said by Bilbo, not in The Hobbit, but earlier than his song in Rivendell. Is it part of Bilbo's conversation with Gandalf about the Ring just after Bilbo's speech but before he leaves the Shire?
