Frodo's Exciting Day Out  by Llinos 31 Review(s)
GamgeeFestReviewed Chapter: 1 on 6/17/2006
LOL. This is hilarious. I especially loved this part:

"Will I need my frying pan?"

"No."


No, but he will need rope - to tie himself and Frodo to the eagle, in case they fall. ;)

I also love your Maggot. Perfectly clueless. And the Black Riders as potential buyers for Bag End is an interesting and funny thought.

Hello there GamgeeFest,
Rats! I think Sam may have forgotten the rope! Now he'll just have to keep tight hold of Mr Frodo - what a tragedy!

Maggot has to be clueless, for not changing his name if nothing else. I mean, would you buy potatoes off someone called Maggot?

The Black Riders money is as good as anyone else's! Isn't it? Well, no, perhaps it isn't.
See you in the next chapter,
Llinos

I am so glad that you have finally sat down and finished this story!

I think that it is very lucky that Tolkien didn't think of this (or if he did he cleverly said nothing)! I am really glad that you thought of it though, and I have laughed and laughed!

There are so many things that I would like to quote and praise but there is just no room. But I would like to mention; the bit about Frodo and Gandalf and the cakes, Farmer Maggot's character, and Sam turning around to find an eagle in the garden, but as you know my favourite bit in this chapter is this:

"Hours of endless entertainment may be obtained from a raw carrot," Merry puffed. "Don't talk – run!"

"And why…why did we need so many squishy tomatoes?" Pippin could feel them oozing into his britches already. "We could have got a firmer variety."

"No – they have… to… squelch!" Merry insisted between pants. His breath was almost spent.

"And I still don't see… the point… of the goat." Pippin generally tolerated Merry's eccentricities – he was half Took after all – but there were times when he pushed it to the limit.

"Pip, you've got to have a goat!" Merry was too exasperated to hyperventilate now, regardless of how out of breath he was from running, "what's the point without a goat?"

I find all of that section brilliantly, incredibly funny!

Thanks for writing this!

See, it's funny, because I wrote that bit about the tomatoes and the goat when I originally started this story last year, and that was the one bit I nearly deleted when I came back to it. But fortunately, I couldn't be arsed! Glad you liked it.

Friends in high places - heeeee!

Well, why didn't they do this in the first place?!

Excellent beginning! Sounds like a wonderful road trip with wings.

Author Reply: Hello Raksha

Why indeed! Sounds like a expenses scam to me. Or a publicity stunt! Just trying to milk the whole thing to get attention.

PS Thanks for the review :D

Saruman laid off, Wormtongue going for an 'extreme makeover?' *giggles*

Hi Surgical
Well maybe you could give him (Shiny that is - he hates when people get his name wrong) could give him a cheap facelift? Do you do cosmetic surgery? I think you could have a go anyway. If you get it wrong I doubt he'll sue.

"We're over the baggage allowance???"

*giggle*
This was exactly what I needed this morning. *snicker*

Author Reply: Hi again Surgical,
Now you wouldn't have said that if you'd been at the airport!

Fiendishly clever and very funny. I loved the 'staff promotion'!

Oh my! This is freakin' hysterical, Llinos!!!

Can't wait for the rest of it!

Author Reply: There's nothing I like better than making people hysterical - my work here is almost done! Except there are several more chapters to post.
Thanks for reviewing Elemmírë!
Cheers
