Hi, toby! Welcome! It's good to see you found your way. :D

Hi, Samaranth!
“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

Welcome to Toby Hall!

I don't recognize that username, Toby. Where do you know us from?

And ... now we have to blow the dust off the shift key! oldtoby is "toby" and new Toby is "Toby" ;)

Toby ... I think Prim was addressing oldtoby ... he's an old friend of ours from TORC and registered right before your did ...

We welcome you too, of course! But it's ironic that two posters with such similar names registered one right after the other!

Why do I get the feeling Toby Hall will forever be referred to as NewToby...

You heard it here first folks...

Yes. Right, Alatar.

We couldn't abbreviate to TH 'cause those initials are taken. By HobbyTM.

So NewToby it shall be.

Hi everyone! :D This is Sidonzo and I hope I can put that in a rank! Rowanberry is the only one who will know me by this name otherwise! I have always loved this username though and I was excited to be able to have a Tolkien name again (well, it isn't canon, but it is inspired by LOTR at least :D ). I hope the name change is OK with everyone. I'm excited to join!

This place needed a touch of je ne sais quoi and then New Toby came along and............ we still need it............... :D

Howdy, Toby Hall. Nice to see you here. :hug:

To quote James Thurber: A hey nonny nonny, and a nuts to you!


I think I might start a James Thurber thread, actually. :D

Hey, Sid!

And how did you talk Frodo into getting married???? :shock:

I'll take care of your rank. Meanwhile grab a chair and a cuppa' and a cookie in the Parlour at Bag End.

(If you're really Mrs. Frodo Baggins we're going to give you the job of dusting the parlour.) :P

Thank you for the warm welcome everyone!

A closet sw00ner? Hmmmmm....I suppose I was on b77, but on TORC the Frodo Sw00ning thread was were I spent most of my time! :D I'm proud to sw00n for Frodo. It's been too long. OK, Jny said there was a parlor to be dusting. Shall I prepare the herbal tea and cakes while I'm at it? ;)

Also I wanted to ask if my sig pic is too big...is it distracting anyone? I didn't realize it's size before I put it up. I can shrink it if it is bothersome.

Welcome to Toby Hall and Elfshadow.

A great big (but very chaste, of course) :hug: and :kiss: to Mrs. Frodo Baggins.

Oooh, I didn't know that - cool! :D

Ah, you're just what we've been waiting for! Please, feel free to indulge in all the dusting and cooking you want! :P :D

To be honest, I would appreciate it if it was just a little bit smaller - sorry to say so! :oops: And thanks for offering! :hug:
