Parties are very boring things, awfully stupid, in fact they are a complete waste of time, especially if you get invited to them, and more so if you don't get any presents (for yourself, that is), to speak the truth there is only one way to enjoy a party.
It is with these profound words of wisdom that I take you to this party, a party long long ago, from a gala... ahem! As I was saying, people make complete fools of themselves at parties, and that is why I like them so much.
Now I take you to a familiar scene: A Party.
Why is this party being thrown? It seems it is to celebrate the world still standing on warm feet.
Where is this party? Actually we'll have to get a larger view of to tell you that... Middle Ea... well not that large... Ah, yes, in a good old forest.
These party animals, these! They seem to have deforested a good patch just to make merry! O, you say that was done a while ago to prevent trees taking over the land? I'd say!
Here we see our typical party goer, in fact he has partied so much that he's dead. But he still wanted to make it here, and what does he have to say? He asks us to always keep our word. Wonder where he comes from.
And now we see that there are always those people who like to wear costumes, the talking tree, the talking fox, the talking elf... wait a minute, an elf!! Ooooooo, defintely an elf, actually more than one of them.
There are the usual peoples from far away, some small dwarves, some smaller dwarves, with beards in their feet, some Wraith, some Wight, wait a minute, let us see what the Wight has to say... what? He says he's been doing some work for King Elessar? Now excuse me but with the ringwraith here don't you think that is a bit of a spoiler? I mean, are you quite sure you belong here... Ahem! Next time we choose people who don't own this place, okay?
Now where were we, ah yes! The classic problem in parties, is that the host is often completely sidelined. Let us ask this cloaked gentleman who the host is: Tom Bombadil? Who're you my kind Sir? Gandalf! So tell me dear Sir: Who is Tom Bombadil? Where did that wizard go?
Now we shall show you the festivities: there are lots of baskets all around the place, looks like a pot-luck. Let's ask this nice Nazgul what is in his basket. Nothing? Ah, yes, always those who think they can have a feast and bring nothing to it. Filthy wraith. Let us ask this very small girl. So all the baskets are empty?
What an interesting party this is!
