Greetings, nasty little hobbitses and lovers of all things Tolkien! As I'm sure you real diehards will already know, yesterday marked a momentous anniversary of Lord of the Rings. The Fellowship of the Ring, the first book in the trilogy, was first published seventy whole years ago. This marks seven decades of fandom through all of the other books, the movies, the TV shows, and, of course, the memes. The fans of LOTR would not be the behemoth they are if they didn't possess their excellent sense of humor and love sharing it on the internet. We're grateful to be able to bring you all these delightful LOTR memes week after week, but not as grateful as those who keep on making them. We may never get to enjoy visiting The Shire for real, but taking some time with this Tolkien-themed humor has to be the next best thing to try.
