propagandalf has just left Hobbiton.
The Eye

Who was the greatest hobbit? GOLLUM of course, he was a hobbit right? Sort of a hobbit.. or something.. does he count?

(WARNING: THE RETURN OF THE KING SPOILERS) Don't read further if you haven't read the booooooook.

Ermm.. technically GOLLUM saved the world, remember? Frodo was weak like Isildur. He couldn't give it up. If Gollum had not bitten off Frodo's finger and fallen into fiery chasm from whence the ring came, Middle earth and everything in it is screwed. Clearly Gollum is the hero of this story [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img].

Seriously though, Bilbo gets my vote. He is the one and only hobbit and/or ring bearer to give up the precious willingly after years of possessing (or being possessed by)it. Just like that, he gave it up. Plus, he is an artist! and a historian too. Also, the author of one of my favorite books "The Hobbit", hehe. Yes, yes we likes him.. nice hobbit Bilbo...
