A Minor Misunderstanding  by shirebound 17 Review(s)

“These Men are very clever; obviously they must get extra points for trick shots.” He pointed to a friend of Beregond, who seemed upset. “I heard him call that a ‘7-10 split’. That set-up had to be deliberate; it’s very difficult to hit pins so far apart with one ball. And did you see what Beregond did just now? He allowed his first ball to roll down that ‘gutter’, thus handicapping himself with only one ball left to hit all ten pins.”

ROTFL!! Oh, my gosh--Merry is too funny. I wish I *did* get extra points for a 7-10 split! Then again, I wish I got all the subsequent three extra "Field Goal" points, too, lol.

Very cute!

Author Reply: Thanks, Pippinfan! Yes, if only the 'rules' of bowling were hobbity ones.

:D

LOL! Sleeting scones! Sick circle! (Isn't that where you'd find the Houses of Healing?)

Thanks for the laugh!

Author Reply: Yay, I'm glad someone got a giggle out of the insidious Sleeting Stones!

:D

*laughing* Oh, Shirebound, that is great! Trick shots, indeed! LOL! They have no idea how easy it is to mess up! And I love tipsy Hobbits! Heehee! Yep, Frodo and Merry had better get Pippin and Sam to bed. This was such a lovely way to start my day!
God bless,
Galadriel

Author Reply: Aren't tipsy hobbits fun? So endearing and adorable.

Yes, I've had my share of gutter balls myself. Next time, I'll be proud of my 'trick shot'!

:D

Oh LOL!! How interesting. The HObbits discovering bowling. It dosen't make too much sense to me either, though. That was funny. I loved it. Namarie!
God Bless,
Frodo Baggins

Author Reply: Thanks, Frodo! I like seeing the hobbits having a fun night out on the town.

lol This was delightful. I've often wondered what hobbits would make of Men's less accurate aim. They'll be very disappointed (and confused) to find out that the trick shots were really bad shots. Still, the 'trick shots' could still work in the Shire. :D

Author Reply: Perhaps the hobbits will never find out the truth, and always believe the Men were very skilled and clever! :D

Bowling! "The Prickly Pins"! Trick shots!

I loveitloveitloveit!

Did the dwarves introduce Ninepins to the Shire? (I'm thinking of "Rip Van Winkle.")

"Pin ball"! Eee hee hee! If Gandalf played, he'd be the Pin Ball Wizard! ROFLOL!

This is adorable, Shirebound. Thanks so much for sharing it!

Blessings,
Mum

Author Reply: Thanks, Mum! Now you have me imagining Ninepins being boisterously played in those long, smooth halls of Moria...

Pin Ball Wizard!!! You clever thing.

:D

*giggles*
The sick circle, indeed! :D

Ah... clever hobbits! I wonder if there'll be a sequel where Merry and Frodo actually get to try the trick shots :)

Author Reply: You never can tell about sequel-bunnies! They arrive exactly when they mean to.

Thanks, Lily! This was fun.
