Well...I missed the lists people had so kindly made before and then couldn't get to sleep 'cause this was bugging me...however, I can add those levels now...

steals taters from gaffers--no idea...unless by "taters" you mean "tots" as in all the youngsters who liked to listen to his stories...but that doesn't make sense even to me...
wonders what happened to the system--after Bilbo had to clean up for the dwarfs and he doesn't dust like always, when Gandalf says "You are not at all yourself this morning --you have never dusted the mantelpiece"
is stalked by petty dwarves--I still think it's the bit with the trolls...though I do realize now that it says "petty" not "pretty"
is terrorizing the wood elves--While Bilbo is living, invisible, in the Elven-kings palace, or (and this could fit 'terrorizing' better) when he sneaks out with the Arkenstone and while fording the stream some elves take him as a spy

In anycase with the exception of the tater's one they all still fit as things which happen to Bilbo in The Hobbit

The books of J. R. R. Tolkien, of course.

Blast you, The Barrow-Wight! I don't think you really know where these came from. They are just out of your demented(no offense) head to cause us grief and turmoil. I am sick of trying to get this figured out. I'll probably still think on it, which doesn't make me the slight bit happier!

Well, Lal currently "looks like a muddy-booted Baggins," so it is looking more and more like Bilbo does have something to do with it after all. Not sure what this refers to, though, as Hobbits don't usually wear boots.

Actually, she is now "dating a horrible Dunlending". Cangrats!

Gurthang · 08-21-2005, 04:57 PM

Yeah, Wilwa, that's how I read it too. How did she get up another level that quickly, that we didn't even notice her at the other level?
