Drogo Bolger of Newbury. There are a few Drogos here. Reminds me of when I was back in elementary school.

RE: What is your name?
This site is really cool. I told some Tolkien fans about it and one of them got "Esmeralda." That sucks, it's alot cooler than "Daisy."

RE: What is your name?
If your name is Amy then yes you are.

I read 'The Hobbit' in 1970; however at that time I never imagined anyone would study the Hobbit trilogy in college. I think it is more incredible that anyone would admit to studying the Hobbit trilogy in college.

RE: What is your name?
Running girl, my darling wife, professor of British Literature, who reads six inch thick biographies of Lord Byron for fun, has not read Lord of the Rings either. She calls it Bored of the Rings.

I'm afraid of the movies ruining the story, but I'll watch then nonetheless.

RE: What is your name?
Watch it, bacpac! Mr. Lizard done graduated from a respected institution of higher learning.

Actually, newgirl, I don't work for the University, I graduated from the same University as rad. But I attended a different college within the University. And I'm just angry that we didn't get to design hobbit holes in studio.

RE: What is your name?
Shiela - Hi, Sis!

Running Girl - At least read The Hobbit. Then you will probably want to read the Lord of the Rings.

The Tolkein books swept through our engineering department at GM 25 years ago. Every morning we discussed what we had read the previous day.

I probably am part hobbit since I like to eat 6 times a day, when I can get it. I wanted to name our son Bilbo, but my wife wouldn't cooperate.

RE: What is your name?
My daughter is named after a Rod Stewart song. I guess that could get her some flack, except that by the time she's in grade school none of the kids will have even a remote clue about that song.

RE: What is your name?
newgirl - we had a hard time choosing kid names.

FYI - we named him David so he wouldn't get his a@@ kicked.

Did you ever hear the "Bilbo Baggins" song sung by Leonard Nemoy? You'll notice that Leonard Nemoy doesn't have too many gold records.
