Blame @Mojo , his meme thread in Fangorn is what turned me onto the idea. I'd seen LotR related memes for years but never thought it could be so fun and easy! (now funny, there's a challenge :ugeek: )

Gandalf, try another spell of opening. Just one more spell of opening. Maybe this one. Definitely going to be the next one, that'll absolutely work.

Also apologies to everyone because I have NO IDEA why they keep posting so large. Is there any way to change that in-post or do I have to edit the files?

To my knowledge it just is based on the file size of the photo, which you can check the dimensions of by inspecting (or sometimes it's displayed on the webpage). At least it seems that way to me because my pictures come out different sizes and I do nothing to adjust them. And another Bombadil meme:

Amazing, Mojo. I, like the guests at Bilbo's party, have still not yet determined if that comes out to a compliment or not...

@KingODuckingham hey, he held a council! At which I guess he decided "you all figure it out." It's said his house was perfect if you liked food, so I bet he had a good spread. :P

Using Ducky's theme as some inspiration here. This seems like a sensible meme format.

I agree, it was extremely frustrating. Especially since they couldn't follow through on it anyway, per the plot of the book, you know, the THING THEY WERE ADAPTING?! Anyway....

At times I do sympathize with Denethor...an only father, he had a kingdom to rule, a wizard and a ranger after his throne, a palantir to look into. He was just swamped with work:

It does seem a little strange, doesn't it? I would have thought the word would be forebearers, but they both seem to be words. English can be strange (which is good, because it makes for great puns like Gandalf's in that totally canon scene)

Well, here's a thing. The Hobbit almost feels more ridiculous than the plan in LotR in a way. At least in LotR the idea is clearly articulated to the participants and the reader. In the Hobbit they literally have no plan as far as I can tell.
