Sadly, I’ve already seen more than one Leggomyeggolas…Tolkien must be rolling in his grave.
You know, Leggomyeggolas got me rofling. Just saying.

Communism, isn’t that bad then.
Freepeoples are now actually free-to-play.
13. Half Orcs start reciting the “Rules of Aquisition.”
…on an off note: Where’s your blog list go, Syp? đŸ˜¦

More like Tolkien wish he thought of Legomyeggolas
14. 2000 points for a brand new raid…….which is actually a 12 man, 6 hour version of ‘Frodo’s Burden’…..
