Ringer Cherie sent in this beautiful picture of her 17 week old puppy, Bilbo Baggins (a Corgi), and it got us thinking. We’ve never asked the fans worldwide to submit their pictures of pets named after Tolkien related characters. We know there are a lot of you out there with pictures, so let’s share them with all of Tolkien fandom!
Here are two ways to participate:
Feel free to post in one or both places – whatever is easiest for you! We’d love to see your pictures and we will occasionally be featuring your pets right here on TORn’s homepage! Oh, and if there are any Tolkien related businesses out there that want to share some prizes for the folks who participate, drop us an email! [Discuss] [Flickr Gallery]
Update: for those of you new to posting on our message boards, no less uploading pictures, there’s an excellent tutorial at the TORn Image Guide (by board member Magpie) and/or you can email Altaira@theonering.net for help.
Ringer Ella just sent us some pics of her 16th Birthday cake made by a friend of her Mom (Rebecca). We’ve posted six images in our flickr account for your viewing pleasure. These cakes are simply amazing! [Flickr Gallery]
Garfeimao writes: Southern California Tolkien fans are invited to join in the merriment of TORN’s Annual Baggins Birhday Bash, which will take place on Sunday Sept 19 starting at noon in Griffith Park one road past the Merry-Go-Round turnoff. Costumes are encouraged, and prizes will be bestowed upon the most beautifully or most creatively attired lads and ladies. There will also be fun and games, as usual, and… …maybe even the traditional impersonation contest (I would like to encourage attendees to learn some Hobbit Quotes). Oh, and you can expect a full Golfimbul match, for those who wish to swing a bat at the Goblin King’s head. There will be some wonderful prizes to be won.

We just ran across this video this morning and thought we’d share! Musician Colin Rudd released ‘Songs of J.R.R. Tolkien’ back in 2001, and included on that release is a pretty impressive rendition of the ‘Lament for Boromir.’ We’re embedding the video below for your viewing pleasure. You can also click on the link to view all of Colin’s Tolkien related videos. [YouTube]
