You don't need an entire army to conquer Belgium, Plastic. A fruitbat would be sufficient. Unless Bombadil lives there of course, then you're gonna need a lot more than Badgers.
Tommy doesn't wear a pointy hat! Erm, you don't do you?

I wear a hat, mind you, but it's not pointy. And you don't need much to conquer Belgium, agreed on that Ungoliant, but I still live here! So you'll need a whole army of Plastic Squirrels invading Belgium before I move out!

Would the Badgers do? An army of me's.....marvellous, where can I get one? And I have a picture of Tom Bombadil (can't remember who painted it) with a pointy hat on, which is why I think that all the time, okay?

Stop thinking that then. I DON'T HAVE A POINTY HAT!! Got that? :P Badgers won't do, no, sorry. They don't scare me, really. I'm Tom Bombadil, remember? You'll need sth like sauron to scare me out. And I don't think that would do either... :P

Tall crown=pointy in my head, or a top hat, and then you just get the Mad Hatter.

Tom is mad in an endearing sort of way...I didn't find the Mad Hatter particularly pleasant

Maybe its that Cat in a Hat guy written by Teddy wozzits name, Mr. Spock, Dr. Spock, Dr. Seus?
And whose to say the inmates aren't more sane than the keepers. I refer you to one John Watson, who prefered to be called Wonko the Sane and was certifiably so; therefore, it was the rest of the world who had the problem. (This paragraph was torturously paraphrased from Douglas Adam's 'So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish'.)

Wonko the Sane also had the best house in all of literature! Happy unbirthday! All change!

Didn't read it, no. Is it really good? Anyway, I don't have a pointed hat. You can take my word on it! I didn't like the Mad Hatter. Maybe I'm mad, but in a pleasant way.

yeah it's hilarious. though some tolkien fans may be seriously offended. They change the names of characters, i can't remember but they changed Bilbo to Dildo..

I tried to read it but left it in Kansas City when I changed planes. Saw it advertized recently; must get it again, as it was hilarious.

I tried it once but I didn't finish it...I remember being a bit disappointed becasue I was expecting something like Pratcheet. Must try it again. Thanks for reminding us, Rosie!
