ElanorGamgee has just left Hobbiton.
Silmaril

Thorin Oakenshield's name was originally Thorn Oak. When he was a child, he tried picking a rose for his mommy, but got a thorn stuck in his thumb. In shock, he ran around in circles yelling until he crashed into an oak tree. He gave all the other Dwarves such a laugh (nasssty, cruel dwarveses) that his mommy named him Thorn Oak. Humiliated, as soon as he was old enough he changed Thorn to Thorin and changed Oak to a very manly-sounding Oakenshield.

What is the Springle-Ring and what has it got to do with Hobbits?
