I'm not trying to rob you, Gandalf had said. But as soon as Bilbo turned his back, out came the grabby hands.

I had to read these all 10 times to try to determine the funniest one :lol: Well done everyone on providing many laughs.

Next caption goes to @KingODuckingham , I suspect that was Gandalf's plan all along. Set Bilbo up as the 'burglar' of the Company, but the true burglar was Gandalf! :smiley9: In my rereading of The Hobbit, there are several mentions of Gandalf eating more food and smoking more than anyone else in the company, when he was around!

Legolas knew that, despite how much it hurt, the dwarves' comment about his Snuggie not quite warrant a declaration of war.

On the left we have a tall beautiful blonde, coming in at 150 lbs, and on the right, a rough and gruff, ginger bearded shortie coming in at 250 lbs. Wait for it. Wait for it. The bell is about to ding!

Bilbo and Gandalf stared at the smoke ring for a minute, concerned, as neither one had actually taken a puff yet.

Gandalf stared thoughtfully into the distance, pretending to listen while Bilbo tried yet again to sell him on a pipeweed multi-level marketing scheme.

Great captions, everyone! This was a super tough choice between Gwai's and Narv's, but at the end of the day, the mystery of just where that smoke ring came from has got me.

So @Gwai, you're up! ;)

Grima made the amateur mistake of looking in the same direction right after Theoden was turned to stone by the basilisk.

Theoden: I wonder, will I be able to get out of that stupid oath? If I just leave my foot in this fire a little longer.
