What would a hobbit think... - Page 2 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

If a pop tart appeared on a table in the Shire, I doubt the hobbits would even think of eating it, I mean, it hardly looks like food does it?

If they had tea, what would stop them having coffee?

I wonder if they had black pudding...

Good point, pop tarts just look like, well, colorful pieces of cardboard with sprinkles.

well i beat some people like to eat card board :P i wouldnt put it past a very hungry hobbit to do so either.

I know someone who liked to eat cardboard in 6th grade.

What would a hobbit think of a snow shovel? I think they would probably find it very useful, as they go barefoot all the time, and it must be a little annoying having to step through all that deep snow. Or do they stay inside all winter?

*Thinks through all the various foods that would dismay a Hobbit - at least on first glance..*

Actually, can you imagine a Hobbit with a tin can? Able to see the picture of the food on the outside, but not get into it. Then, out comes the knife...

I wonder what a hobbit would think of a Lava Lamp?

*giggles* im in two minds about it, one one hand i think they would run away and on the other i can see droves of hobbits coming from all over the shire to sit infornt of it and bask in its lavery glory.

I would mezmorize them. A Hobbit in a trance......

What would they think of noodles?

Elennar Starfire · 01-28-2004, 05:37 PM

They would slurp noodles. They would think it amusing when the end would pop up and hit them on the nose.

What would they think of television? Or the LotR movies? I can imagine it..."That's not Gandalf!" "Who the heck is that supposed to be? FRODO?!? Someone smoked too much pipeweed..."

Sirithheruwen · 02-21-2004, 09:30 PM

I wonder what they would think of marshmallows?
Or garden gnomes?
Or BARNEY UNDERWEAR!!!
Ummm...sorry, I got ahead of myself there!

I love pop rocks, but they DO take a while to get used to!
I like Pocky too, but seeing as I live in the USA, I can only get it when my Dad goes to Japan on business. (He works for a soy sauce company. Hmmm...I wonder what they would think of soy sauce?

)

EDIT: What would they think of thousands of crazed fans congregating together to talk about what they might like or dislike?

Hmmm.....

Annalaliath · 09-19-2004, 04:43 PM

Well now as I can go to the comensary i can get all sourts of asian food..... Hee hee i wonder what a Hobbit would think about a PS2?

Zebedee · 09-20-2004, 04:22 PM

Considering they have no electricity in the Shire, I do not think that they wouldn't really care.

ninlaith · 09-22-2004, 04:21 PM
