Grandma hair

I really love this film. Every since I was a kid I've loved the animation style, music and pretty much everything about it. I've even come to love Bilbo's grandma haircut.
Both he and my Gam Gam go to the same Hair Stylist and I've bumped into him a few times while taking my sweet old gammy to her appointments. He's a pretty good guy and charitable to boot. When the hair on his feet gets long enough he has it shaved and donates it.
Once I glued some of it to my rear, drew some eyes back there, skillfully used a potato for a nose, put my booty in the unsuspecting fellow's face and yelled "HEY MR. BAGGINS IT'S JUST LIKE LOOKING IN THE MIRROR!!!! ISN'T IT?!?!" Then I sang a little song that went something like this, "make your butt up like his face, that's what Bilbo Baggins hates". He was not amused to say the least and that little guy has quite a temper. After I let loose with a "butt burp" (more of a "Shart" really) at point blank range he was furious!! The disgruntled Hobbit went bananas and on that day my right butt cheek (whom I've come to call Professor Pumpernickel) fell victim to the unforgiving wrath of Sting!!
Professor Pumpernickel's ego was taken down a few notches and I had to sit on a booty cushion for two months, but I have no regrets.

"make your butt up like his face, that's what Bilbo Baggins hates"

HAHA! Very insulting but undeniably funny! :)

Yeah, he was pretty pissed, but I think somewhere deep down in his tiny hobbit heart he thought it was funny as well 

Thank you for brightening my day with your posts, though I suspect your praise of this movie is facetious at best. I still prefer Rankin Bass to the Jackson drek, but to each their own. Cheers!

I'm happy to have brightened your day and in all seriousness I actually do love this film. That Gollum used to freak me out when I was a kid.
Like you I prefer it over Jackson's Hobbit film(s). The Rankin Bass version tells the story in a funner way (IMO) and didn't take three films to do so. With that being said I do like watching the Jackson film(s) every now and then.

Are you a fan of other Rankin Bass films? I watch their Holiday specials every Christmas season as they were a big part of my childhood. I'm an 80s child so I was also a big fan of their Thundercats cartoon as well.

P.S.
Mr. Baggins and I have since buried the hatchet, but I do suspect that Professor Pumpernickel holds a grudge. Sadly, there's just no talking to that guy and his whole attitude stinks, but that's probably due to his location 

I am definitely a fan of the Christmas specials, they are classics for the ages. I enjoyed Thundercats as well, although I must admit I didn't know that was by Rankin-Bass, thanks for that!

Regarding Mr. Pumpernickel's stinky attitude, might I suggest replacing the potato with a Glade air freshener?

I agree, the holiday season just isn't the same without a healthy dose of Rankin-Bass holiday cheer.

It sounds good to me. Unfortunately the Professor is the guy in charge. I'll suggest your idea to him, but I may need to get him drunk to make him susceptible to the idea. Thanks for the suggestion 
