Hobbit Day: September 22, 2014 - Party Tree and Fireworks
Guess what is exactly four weeks from today... that's RIGHT! HOBBIT DAY!
We're going to make a real big to-do about it here at Entmoot. Party Tree, Fireworks... we'll even take suggestions. Of course there will be LOTS of food. Orders are already streaming out... to the entire Shire, and well beyond to all the friendly realms of Middle Earth. So - put it on your calendars! Then; come one, come all - for Hobbit Day 2014 at Entmoot!

Ooh, party! Can we have a tea contest where people come up with their own flavours?

Not sure I'll be able to make it - I may be a little busy (the baby is due the 27th, but if he wanted to be born on Bilbo's and Frodo's birthday, I wouldn't complain)...

Yeah - probably wouldn't throw her off.
HEY! Let's have a contest: Who can come up with the Best Elvish Word for Chocolate? Use either Sindarin or Quenya! Uhhh... for those so inclined, you can work up one in Orcish.

I will definitely be entering that contest. In fact, I don't know why I haven't already done this.

Chocolate?
I'm SO there! However, I might be over the borders in the land of Mordor still - that date is 3 days after my last chemo treatment and I'm typically in the throes of the side-effects. But it IS my last treatment, so I'm definitely heading towards the Shire, so please chuck some chocolate over the borders for me to catch! Thanks, Val, for bringing that up!

Well - in true-Hobbit fashion, I believe we're going to run this party for two weeks! Yessir... all the way up to October 6.
October 6!!! That's another big day for a Hobbit! Still, we'll make it a two week long, party-a-thon!

At a different Tolkien board I'm on, we have an Inn thread where we always call it hocolatil. I don't know where the word was found or coined, but it's definitely meant to be Quenya!

Quote:
"hocolat" is quite similar to "chocolat", which is my guess for the origin of that part of the word. But "il" is typically a prefix in Quenya, meaning "no" or "un-". This is fun!

Here is my entry for "Best Elvish Word for Chocolate" in Quenya
Chocolate: lissëmána "Sweet Blessing" Full breakdown: Lissë, literally "sweetness" Liss- or lis, "honey" mána, any good or fortunate thing, a boon or ‘blessing’

I thought I'd missed it! Glad we run it for 2 weeks, true Entmoot style.
I can't compete in the contest for chocolate since I know no Quenya, but I propose a tea contest. Who can think up the best flavours?

Well - the food and drink are all set out, buffet-style. The entertainers are entertaining away, at various corners of the place.
Come one, come all - and join in the cheer!
