This song was based on a true story. I think it was 2004 when I was invited to go drink with a bunch of people dressed as hobbits from West of the Moon, a fan fiction website about hobbits. It was Thursday night of DragonCon weekend when I met up with them. We drank till the wee hours of the morning and I awoke the next day feeling under the weather. By Sunday, I had laryngitis. I couldn't sing a lick and felt like crap. Andrew sang and stalled through the Brobdingnagian Bards Sunday evening filk show. After that, I swore I'd never go drinking with hobbits again. Last year, I finally wrote the song about the event for my new CD 'What Color Is Your Dragon?'. And released through The FuMP just in time for Bilbo Baggins' birthday.

I thought this was common sense, everyone knew not to drink with hobbits! Sheesh, the warnings that some people need...

To paraphrase LotR #1: "This...is a pint"! "They come in pints?" Love your tale of a pint-sized drunken orgy...keep the hobbit songs commin', Marc! Cats are SOOO a few months ago. :^)

It's a very bad hobbit to pick up. (And that is a very bad pun)

Don't go drinking with Ents either. They'll tell you that green drink is harmless, but I woke up with slivers EVERYWHERE.
