Bungo Baggins has just left Hobbiton.
Pippin suddenly realized he had climbed for nothing and there were no mushrooms to be found.

When Sam took sick, Pippin took over camp cooking for the Fellowship. He...counted on leftovers.

Or...

"Whassa matter, eyes bigger than your stomach?"

Or...

Gandy: "Pippin! I said light the beacon, not bacon!" (taken from Councilofelrond.com)

Or...

Pippin reacts with horror when he finds the Saucepan Man cooking in one of his own saucepans.

Its a sign of the Apocalypse! Do you not know that old prophesy?

"When Eru has finished his all important plans
And Saucepan man cooks in his own Pans
The world shall come to an end
So good luck, my dear friend"


Anyway... ...

Pippin thought he was a shoe-in to win the annual Biggest Pot competition, but Bill the Balrog proved him wrong.
