Oh, and sorry 'bout the squirrels. I just never thought of them as rodents. And I think our Mirkwood Black Squirrels are in the same family. Oh well. I thought I'd try....

Sadly enough, I don't think busses run there. Maybe we could find a ship that goes to Middle-earth, though! Or simply go to New Zealand, but it's just not the same!

OOh I would have to say either a pad in Rivendell, or a mansion in Gondolin (before it got assaulted that is). I might also have a summer home in Hobbiton in a big hole with several larders, living rooms, comfy chairs etc etc.

Well, my friends insist that I both look and act like an elf, and that I talk like Galadriel in the film at times, and as I can shoot a bow and arrow fairly successfully I guess I would be an elf (if i haven't turned into one alread through obsession) I also have some elf clothes and wear my hair in elf styles all the time, does this count as obsessive?

To Feraway Hawkbriar:
Kid, you couldn’t reach my knees if you got on a ladder, much less my chin….

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ten strange little coincidences:

1) Squirrels spend their lives eating, so do Hobbits.
2) Squirrels are fond of nuts and mushrooms, so are Hobbits.
3) When not eating (a rare event) squirrels play a lot, so do
Hobbits.
4) Squirrels are small, so are Hobbits.
5) Squirrels live in holes, so do Hobbits.
6) Squirrels have furry tails. Hobbits have furry feet.
7) Squirrels are cute, so are Hobbits.
8) When squirrels talk they make no sense, nor do Hobbits.
9) If given the choice squirrels will run and not fight, so will
Hobbits.
10)When cornered squirrels can be brave, so can Hobbits.

In conclusion, Hobbits are the long Lost Link between Men and
squirrels, Q.E.D.
Who says Elves don’t have a sense of humour?



Now seriously, Both Elves and Hobbits are cool choices.

i bet luthien tinuviel has her own archery range and lives in a treehouse
well i do love archery.. and i do live by a niceley wooded area..
and i have always wanted a tree house.
hmmm
well i guess the fact that a major highway is on the otherside of the wood, and no trees in it are strong enough to hold any amount of foreign wood has kept me from a treehouse, but hey, i can always move eh?



oh yea.. and there was that episode when my parents took me to the atlanic for the summer! haha that was funny..

Hobbits would sell their own grandmothers for a keg of ale and three biscuits. Elves pawned their birthright to chase off after someone who stole their jewelry. Dwarves wouldn't part with a penny to help their bearded children pay for a kidney transplant. Ents molest ferns. Men sleep with each others' wives while the husband is at work. Balrogs sectretly dress up as warrior-maidens and have a thing for leather.

Did I miss any?

Nah, the dragons are the most pure species of Middle-Earth. Pure hatred for everything, clever and cunning, cruel and bullying like cats, ravenous in hunger and swift in anger, kings of the skies and roasters of smart-mouth, uppity eagles. There should have been a dragon or two in LotR. Frodo would have never made it to Mordor...[smile]

OUTLAW BLACK SWORDS AND ARROWS!!!

lol. This message-war-type-thing is getting funny!

But I agree with FrodoFriend, Elves and Hobbits are definetly in the top two of coolest beings on Middle-Earth. Now, for a comparison between Men *shudders* and Elves [[one of you Hobbit supporters can do Men vs Hobbits]]

Men live in... houses. On ground. *falls asleep* Elves live in trees. They get a veiw of whats happening below and up high in the canopies, and watch the rythms of life in the air and on ground. Tilting your head to see ground critters isn't as bad as having to crane your neck to see birds. 1 Elves 0 Men

Men live in large cities with pollution and fighting everyday, Men are indeed a primitive specie. Now, for Elves. Elves live in wildlife areas that are aesthetically pleasing and peaceful. Who would prefer an industrial park over a luscious forest? 2 Elves 0 Men

Elves use bow and arrows. Archery is cool. Men use swords. They take a long time to make, so if yours breaks you can't support your army until its fixed, which can take a while. Elven bows can be made easily, and they still impact crucial damage. 3 Elves 0 Men.

You get the point

Now what lesser race shall we compare Elves and Hobbits to?

Dwarves are the toughest & coolest little shizznels you could ask for! Yeah, I did make that word up...

But for me, and I've already answered this before, I'd be a Half-Elfin (not Elven, I've explained that already ere in another thread); which is a crossbreed between an elf & a hobbit. I'd be the only one in existance! Haha!

Why?

Hmm, let's see (these are possibilities):

1.) If one of my parents was immortal (the Elf one), I believe I would get the choice between immortality and mortality.
2.) I'd be really swift and agile.
3.) I'd look like a stunted Elf. Hehe.
4.) Hobbit height is the best height to be.
5.) Hopefully I wouldn't have the hairy feet...
6.) I'd be the only non-home trodden Elf/Hobbit.
7.) I could hang out with Elves or Hobbits whenever I please.
8.) I'd be a tough little person no one would mess with.

My friend wanted to dress me up as an elf on the grounds that I already have an elfin face. (I think he meant pointy-looking )
But I don't feel very elflike. They're so la-di-da. I'd rather be a human. Maybe live in one of those big human cities.

Men vs. Hobbits:

Men love glory, Hobbits love food.

I didn't see any Hobbits marching to Sauron's aid!

When Hobbits are driven to fight, they fight better than men (Who took out the Witch King? That's right, a Hobbit!).

Men waste time making shoes; Hobbit go barefoot.

Hobbits can make a delicious meal out of a coney and a few herbs!

A Hobbit outsmarted Smaug (so much for dragons, ha!).

Only a Hobbit could carry the One Ring without being corrupted - not Man, Elf, Dwarf, or even Gandalf could do that!

I'm not taking sides here, but I would like to point out the fact that Hobbit holes are completely impervious to WOODPECKERS!! I don't think Galadriel and Celeborn could say the same thing about their treehouse.
(Of course, with earthworms, it's a different story all together.)
