I was going to include “Baggins” in the post title, but I went ahead and assumed y’all would know who I was talking about.
Just for fun, I’ve decided to compile an alternative calendar of celebrations over the year, what with not being religious and all that. I mean, even secular folk like an excuse to have a jolly-good piss-up, am I right?! All I’ve got so far is today, 22 September, the birthday of the two titular hobbits; John From Day on 15 February; and the ancient Egyptian Festival of Drunkenness on 06 August.
I apologise if my dating convention is jarring, but that’s how I was taught to do it in admin school.
I’ve forgotten everything else I learned.
So, yeah, if you have any other interesting and nerdy ideas for days to celebrate throughout the year, drop us a comment!
Right, I best get back to Ralph Bakshi’s animated film, which is still my favourite version of Lord of the Rings thus far (bless you, Peter Woodthorpe). I appear to becoming less and less patient for Peter Jackson’s bombastic take the older I get. Alas! I wonder if some dedicated nerd will one day make the second half of Bakshi’s unfinished two-parter. Surely there must be a rotoscope app out there by now!
Do stay in touch, darlings.
Toodles!
