Stokes and Spokes

Lot of old drat. Interweb has beseeched me.

Apparently, it is time for everyone to return.

Now, I should like to ask; who was my Secret Santa? I truly am enjoying this minty pipeweed.

Boredom. It is a killer.

You realise what? My username is bigreyhat, and at first off, I found it brilliant and nifty to leave out one "G" so the letters would meld together and form a stand-offish one word. On the contrary, now I realise that it looks as if it is Bi Grey Hat.

Hem-hem. Yes, I do believe this change of username is quite possible.

Like, this new icon is like, totally awesome.

Like.

I'd like you all to welcome Undómiel to our community. Be nice, or I fear she has a great liking towards spiders and she'll not hesitate to take action. Hrm-hrm..

After reviewing Bilbo's There and Back Again, I realised that he had written my hat to be blue instead of grey. This is absurd. I demand a full refund at once on both the book and the hat.

After a long winded trip from a really rainy Gondor, I stopped by Pippin's to see if he'd any pipeweed left. It was a nice homecoming after my many months in a dreary place with men. Honestly, Gondor seems as if it consists of nothing but men and their odd manly problems. While I stayed at the nice Inn there, word came through that I was there, and people ended up visiting me and telling me of their troubles. Do I really care to know about how one's own wife doesn't like him going out to drink every night? No, I really do not.

Thus, I stopped by Pippin and we had a nice and decent conversation for once (which, in fact, did not involve any talk about more thieving *ahem*). Pippin made some vegetable stew that consisted of way too much fiber. I have never been a fan of vegetables at all.

Took! I do NOT like vegetables! Never, never again!

All this silly lovey-dovey business.

Can one not get a rest from all this nonsense?

At least Frodo is here having a nice time. We've been talking business!

I leave for a week's worth of vacation and come back to see everyone gone insane and nuts. What is it with you lot? Haven't you gotten any holiday cheer?

Most of all: Frodo, dear boy! Liven up! Sam is not the only thing in the world!
