there and back again? (ot)

[alsih2o]

wow, evidently wal-mart read a different book than the rest of us - (edit: it is gone, but mark from cmg preserved it for posterity, see below)

 

[Mark CMG]

ROFL!

I had to preserve this in case they figure it out before it is seen by everyone!

On the Battersea Reach of the Thames, a mixed bag of eccentrics live in houseboats. Belonging to neither land nor sea, they belong to one another. There is Maurice, a homosexual prostitute; Richard, a buttoned-up ex-navy man; but most of all there's Nenna, the struggling mother of two wild little girls. How each of their lives complicates the others is the stuff of this perfect little novel. The adventures of the well-to-do hobbit, Bilbo, Baggins, who lived happily in his comfortable home until a wandering wizard granted his wish.

Boxed hardcover bound in green leatherette with gold and red foil stamping, two-color typography, and five full-page color illustrations by the author

Wow. I knew Peter Jackson took a FEW liberties with Tolkien's storyline, but he didn't get into ANY of that backstory...
I'd better go back and re-read The Hobbit. I remember it somewhat differently.

Seriously, that's just bizarre...

So, was the homosexual prostitute a Proudfoot or a Brandywine?

Proudfeet!

 

[Neowolf]

I think we all know she was a Hornblower.

 

[Henry]

I read this and get visions of Rufus, the 13th Apostle from Dogma...

 

[Tobold Hornblower]

I think we all know she was a Hornblower.

I resemble that remark!

 

[MerakSpielman]

Oh that is just priceless. I'm gonna have to email that link to a few folks.

You're my hero for that one, Neowolf. Nice!
