Fuck yeah, hobbits!

They're Taking The Hobbits To Isengard!

*Brings da noise and moosic to go with it*

I will never have those 10 hours back....but at least I know where they're taking the Hobbits.

TOMMY LEE JONES IS AWESOME!!!!

So is Dilbert. =3

oh shit you know where they are from... that is cool to know!!!!

The distant land of Elbonia, if I recall.

Wasn't there some outsourcing to them? I remember Dilbert going there a few times.

yeppers, I remember that in the TV show!!!

Yes, though I can't remember what it was.

Eh. All I know is your icons brought back some good memories.

I have one of his books, and I've read several others. Dilbert capitalized on the feelings of office workers everywhere, which is why he was so popular. Everyone either had days like that, or they knew people like him who did. Scott Adams is one of my favorite cartoonists.

Absolutely. He amazingly captured the angst that is felt not only in a work setting, but in school or some home relationships. I know I had a bit of that.

Same here. I think we all have at some point, which is why he's so popular even today.

I liked that on one of his books, the compilation one I think, all the reviews on the back were by him.

~nods~

Thank you SOOOO much for sharing this link! I love this little tune and I mean 10 hours? AMAZINGLY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

A balrog of Morgoth...

I'm way to happy about this, I almost shit when I saw the banner

So cool ^^ ohh and
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfX1PYv1FEY&feature=related

Indeed, it's the hobbit day. To celebrate the birth of Bilbo Baggins and which was also the day Frodo had to leave the shire with the ring. Love how you decorate the site for this event =D

Oh wow it looks amazing!

That looks amazing!! :D

Neat coincidence. I was just watching Lord of the Rings parodies early this morning. Had no idea there was a Hobbit Day.

Yay! Really glad to see that this got selected for today! :3

Such a rad banner. Totally worth keeping up for a week! Although I feel like fender would keep the ring and use it as a sexy body piercing somewhere.. south.. ;3 the ring went south in the books, right?

*points west*

I was thinking of the Gandalf line in Fellowship (also a track name on the movie soundtrack) where he says the ring goes south. It was right after the council of elrond?

idk been awhile since i watched the films

You are correct! The Fellowship went south after leaving Rivendell. I've still never seen the movies, but I'm reading through the books currently. :)

One cannot simple walk into Furaffinity.

Right, you have to log on first.

One simply cannot log onto FurAffinity.

On doit se mettre des anneaux? x)

and I just watched LOTR 2 last night. F YEAH.

Yay ! :3

PLEASE make a week out of this!

If it loses, we eats it whole.

FUCK YEAH! so happy this is a week long!

Bless me little hobbit feet

The singleness of the eye of Barad-dûr!! That explains why my pics got deleted

I approve of this

One does not simply walk into Mordor

Happy Hobbits day :D

... You may be able to dance, though...

Just on time for my LOTR marathon. Thank you. Best banner.

And for once, we have a banner up for a week that can't be objected to.

what's taters precious?

PO-TA-TOES

boil em, mash em, stick em in a STEW!

Psh, keep your nasty chips!

Spoil a nice fish... Gives it to us, RAW, and Wwwigling

Everyone has made all the jokes I wanted to!

:D

Oh god this ^^

Epic character indeed, olde boy! Good show~

awwesome

The only holiday that matters now!
There and Back Again, my fav <3

BEST SERIES EVER! Full of EPICNESS

No, Sam, I cannot recall the taste of strawberries.

one of fantasy's greatest legacy
One of fantasy's greatest legacy what?

And while we could leave it up for a mere day, we think we'll make a week of it.
Sort of like Jackson decided to stretch out a story that barely fills out one film to a trilogy.

*ba-dum-tsh*

it was a trilogy because the BOOKS were a trilogy.

Erm, I actually referred to The Hobbit.

You know, because of the adaptation that's the reason for this journal?

you referred to the trilogy in your comment. That's not the hobbit. That's Lord of the Rings.

Sort of like Jackson decided to stretch out a story that barely fills out one film to a trilogy.


The journal is kindof ambiguous, but the banner is most certainly a reference to lord of the rings because it's set in Mordor, which was never a scene in the Hobbit. It's clearly a scene from The Return of the King where Frodo (represented by Fender) is entering Mordor and sees the black tower.

Ergo, my comment. Peter Jackson did *not* "stretch out a story" into a trilogy. If you think the Lord of the Rings trilogy movies are the Hobbit, you should read the books, or at the very least watch/rewatch the movies, because they are very different.

Okay, one last time for the ones slow on the uptake.

In TH and LotR both Bilbo and Frodo were said to be born on September 22, which is why the American Tolkien Society celebrates this day. FA, on the other hand, remembered all this only because of the upcoming first part of Jackson's TH adaptation, which he stretched into a trilogy. Because money. The banner may reference an element found specifically in LotR, but it's still a part of the larger Middle Earth saga and was most likely only chosen because Fender dressed up as a hobbit would've looked lamer.

Grok?

He didn't stretch out the Lord of The Rings trilogy.

The Hobbit - 1937

The Fellowship of The Rings -1954
The Two Towers - 1954
The Return of The King -1955

actualy they lord of the rings was one book split in to 3

yes, because tolkein wanted to put them into one HUGE book. Sure, rowling got away with a humongous 4th and 5th books for harry potter, but they were at least one segment each and would have made the series even bulkier than it already was.

tlotr was too big for the three books as a general standard in the 50's, so the publisher recommended the separation. It was a logical separation because he was planning to have them segmented within the same book anyway. This way it was just easier to read, I mean who REALLY wants to read a book that's 3 - 4 inches thick??

The point is Peter Jackson isn't the one who stretched the Lord of the Rings into 3 books, Tolkein did before publishing.

yeah but this person isnt talking about lotr being treatched in to 3 films peter jackson is going to make the hobbit in to another trilogy i think thats a stupid idea but eh

I... don't know of this idea? I don't see why he would?

the same reason any one drags soemthing out longer then it should money

o.O;

he gets more money if he turns one book in to 3 movies

yes i got that part. -.-

But think about haveing one movie of that book O__o
It will be hours long if not, so many plot lines must be cut.
I am a little happy he split it up in 3.

I can understand that part about wanting to get it all in there, rarely does a movie ever come close to the details explained in a book, though theres a reason books take a lot of time to read.

meh, not too bothered about finding out.

or even the silmarillion, would be nice to know what he had planned for that. I know there was something else he didn't get to finish.

Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth.

See above.

aaaand then someone somewhere in the depths of this site will find a problem with this. somehow.

Wait, this means that Rednef is a macro!!!

Oh my gosh is this an EXCELLENT banner \ 8V /

What did it say!?

Best trilogy ever - and even better, it was all filmed in my home country, New Zealand! :D

:D

That's awesome!!

Finally! A day all furries can approve of x3. I should hope anyway.

Such a good trilogy of books and films; definately looking forward to the Hobbit films coming out soon as well.

Is there like-- an event calendar for FA or are these holidays just spur of the moment?

Also-- Yeah! Best day ever. Tricksy Hobbitses!

one does not simply become and a hobbit and a furry

Psh stur wurz wuz burttur

This comment + your avatar...I'm dying...my sides...

Glad someone found it funny~ :D

Thank you so much for featuring it! And thank you all for the comments! I was almost in disbelief when I saw it earlier :D

Now then, I heard they're taking the hobbits to Isengard :3

Loves this!

Am I the only one who still has the summer banner?
I seem to be having a fair amount of glitches, and I only joined a short time ago

Press Ctrl + F5

Whoa, epic..I just wish I had read/seen Lord of The Rings...
Still really awesome though

Now THIS is a furaffinity I LIKE! LOTR banner! Woots Woots

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOVE THIS

I would love to see Fender go on a fantastic journey through Middle Earth.

Well, at least some really nice suggestion that I approve!
A LOTR week!

Far more awesome than Shark Week.
Less drama generating than Fat Bunny Week.

Happy Birthday Mr. Froddo!!!

Horrible tricksy hobbitses get a day. GRRAGGH Precious doesn't get a day where is precious' day?!

More trendy crap, but this time it's actually about something I like, so I'm conflicted...

Fender simply walks into Mordor.

Needs more darkness!

Don't let the all seeing eye see you! O,O -hides-

... and my axe!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxPGzj2L3n0

I'm still not quite sure what else happens on Tolkien week besides the second Hobbit trailer. Are there going to be convention like things too?

soo looking forward to the movie :D

Awesome! now I only have to find a way to allow myself to the read the whole the hobbit book

Furaffinity: Where it's normal to have fuzzy feet

Your icon fits the song perfectly, it's like it's dancing to the beat.

hobbits hobbits hobbits!! XD

Just finished the book and had no idea about the holiday XD I love hobbits! <3

Funny. Haven't worn shoes all day, and now I learn why...

forever a tolkien fan! love his work and I love the banner, and I love this journal, and I love this site!!! ^^ lol okay, I'm done now...

Best banner in FurAffinity's history. Definitely!

One does not simply socialize with furries/on fur affinity.

My Preciucesss ThEy took our precoccesd. theys STOLES it. We WaNts it backs. *COUGH* uh that hurts my throght

well, I was GOING to complain about the banner and how I don't really like all of these "x and y days" but the art is splendiferous, so I will refrain.

So I'm not the only one concerned that it has nothing to do with 'furry'

Its not necessarily that I'm concerned with the fact it has nothing to do with furry, I'm concerned about the fact that there's so many fucking "FAT BUNNY days" and "SHARK DAYS" and "HOBBITSES DAYS" and its just annoying.

If it were actually relevant to furry stuff, i.e. "Pink Panther day" celebrating the first airing of the classic cartoon, that'd be hot as fuck.

I never see the new banner until it's been about two weeks since the change or if i open a new browser. Why is that?

Press F5

ha ha :) I've tried refreshing before and it didn't work but today was a lucky day. Thanks.

Cool banner.

Why exactly is Sep 22 Hobbits day?

*Facepaw.* really?... That's due to the movie comeing out that day....... right?

I was hoping for something a little more creative, like March 14th being pie day and May 4th being Star Wars day.

..... Good point... >_>

Not everyone would know that. (:

It's actually because September 22nd is Bilbo and Frodo's birthday. c:

Ooooohhhh........... ^_^'

MY PRECIOUS!
*glares at banner*

Finally, a week I can agree with.
Now then I need to say....
MY PRECIOUSssssss

Im a lotr geek. And that banner is absolutely stunning<333

OMG my name is Elvish!

What is taters precious?

What's a Hobbit?

Hobbits are a race made by the english writter J.R.R Tolkien for his fantasy novel "The Hobbit", but they are more known due to the trilogy of "Lord of The Rings" thanks to the movies. :3

THEY STOLES ITS FROMS US! MY PRECIOUS!

So... WHY is this "Hobbit Day" exactly? O_o

Why is this site obsessive with rabbits and hobbits?

I was wondering who came up with that amazing idea. <3
Kudos!

Okay, Fur Affinity. You can't just have a string of cool banners all the time. That's not fair.

I want to snuggle a hobbit they are only alittle taller than my two year old self

aww in this moment im read the lord of the rings 2 ;n; <2

I've just got a 404 image up there. Disappointing.

To isengard to isengard

Tricksy hobbitses! The precious, they wants it! We musnts lets them haves it! GOLLUM GOLLUM.

Couldn't resist.

precious

I watch all the movies this week with my sister and every time they said a line I started singing it. She was so confused.

To Mordor!

There and Back Again =)

Lots of PO-TA-TOES too, right?

YAY!!! LOTR <3

Euraffinity ?!

we must keep the hobbits safe for we are furrys

my precious X3

I really don't understand what LOTR has to do with furries.

At least STAR WARS has Chewbaccas (i.e. people in fursuits).

Could you please officially title it as Hobbitses week then ^.^? Thanks in advance for the consideration -nod-

Best fucking banner of all time right there.

Confound it all, Samwise Gamgee. Have you been eavesdropping?

Please, Mr. Frodo, don't let him turn me into a toad or anything unnatural, I wasn't dropping no eaves, sir!

no, perhaps not..............I've thought of a better use for you.

Far over the misty mountains cold
To dungeons deep and cavern old
The pines were roaring on height
The winds were moaning in the night
The fire was red it flaming spread
The trees like torches blazed with light

There is no life in the void, only...death

It's been Hobbitses Day for over a week now. Seriously, guys.

"tolken week" is a week, not just a day. the week is not over yet.

That doesn't explain why this is advertised as "Hobbitses Day".

But oh well!

And I missed Hobbit day!? Probably one of the best days evar? I could have worn my Hobbits t-shirt too! :( Aww. Epic Hobbits!!

You had all week for that. :) Its just not one day. :T

Sweet! I had no idea!

epic

Is Hobbit Day over yet?
