Is this where sourdough spells rise at midnight, the muffins may be cursed, and the oven might be a portal to the jam dimension?
I can’t wait to devour spells, crumbs, and hopefully some chaos!

Never mind the seven years you need to wait before Frodo leaves the shire.
The timeline jumps so much you will need a time machine and three wizards just to follow the hobbits meal schedule.

Achoo!
And thus, Blorptangle the Unspellable was born.
Foretold by prophecy, sneezed into existence, and now legally married to a sentient marshmallow/
(it's the silent p that always causes the slip-up)

Even half-baked tales rise better with a sprinkle of outside eyes.
Lest your dragon ends up jousting with a teacup and no one tells you it’s meant to be a spoon!
Because 'there is no spoon'

Quirky?
Absolutely!
Thomlin Jupp once tried to teach a hedgehog to play the lute while blindfolded just to see if it improved the rhythm. Legend says the hedgehog still tours the countryside, playing ballads about enchanted spoons and rebellious teacups.

We’re all here, a merry band,
Tapping keys with sleight of hand.
Jokes and jests, a digital spree,
Fooling ‘round so gloriously!
No rhyme too weird, no pun too wild,
Just chaos, giggles, and pixels piled.

I'm delighted that @terrypratchett.bsky.social and I are still helping to protect these wonderful creatures!

A toast to Bilbo, bold and small,
Who vanished from his party hall.
With riddles, rings, and dragon gold,
His adventures have been well told.
So raise your mug and sing with cheer
To hobbit hearts and good Shire beer!

Happy Birthday Bilbo and Frodo Baggins

The Flying Buffalo legend will take to the air once more. Of all the unpredictable things that I did not expect to see, and yet with glee I am happy to share.

the crest of the Noble Order of Groatwaggon Grifters showing a scroll of dubious proclamations, the spoon of ceremonial soup-stirring, and the sulking goose perched atop the sacred single-wheeled cart.

the Noble Order of Groatwaggon Grifters even had their own illustrious crest

The single wheel ensures maximum wobble, and its slatted base is ideal for losing small items.
Traditionally pulled by a disgruntled goose. The Groatwaggon was the preferred vehicle for delivering passive-aggressive proclamations such as “Ye Might Want to Consider Paying Thy Taxes, Eventually.”

behold the Groatwaggon of Mild Urgency
A marvel of medieval engineering designed exclusively for transporting slightly annoyed town criers, lukewarm soup, and declarations that are neither urgent nor particularly important.

Clearly, Elves use moonlight-pressed vellum, Dwarves etch on mithril sheaves, and Hobbits scribble on recycled pie crusts. As for potatoes, one does not simply explain tubers in Tolkien.🧙‍♂️⚔️📜🪄

Tolkien (2019) ⭐ 6.8 | Biography, Drama, Romance 1h 52m | PG-13

Watched the Tolkien movie last night
Was not expecting much from it, anticipating turning it off early on.
However, it surprised me, even though some of the story line is overly contrived to reflect LOTR plot, it was well made and kept me engaged to the end.

it is true, I wonder if there was some licensing reason the covers had to be different. A mystery to be solved ....
