Tirinor has just left Hobbiton.

I'm kidding of course. The context of my post would, hopefully, suggest that I thought more of Pippin than Diamond18's useful definition suggests. When Gandalf calls Pippin "a fool of a Took" he is not saying he is a literal fool, but that he acts foolishly. I was merely implying in an exaggerated fashion that Pippin acts idiotically - synonymis to foolishly.

I realize the tone of the disscussion doesn't lend itself to such exageration, so I will refrain from doing it anymore on this thread. Except to say that Gandalf was a know-it-all.
