If you could meet Tolkien . . . - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I've been thinking about this lately. If you could meet J.R.R. Tolkien, what would you say? (This requires some imagination, of course, since he died in the 70's . . . unless you were actually there and met him, in which case, I'm terribly envious of you)

I think I'd just stammer incoherently for a few seconds, thank him for creating such a wonderful series and a such a magnificent magical world, and then I'd run away, terribly embarrassed and flustered and flabbergasted, screaming, I've met Tolkien, I've met Tolkien! Over and over again in my head. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
