This post is for fans of The Hobbit. No matter how many times I find Middle-Earth, LotR, or any of its works used in different, innovative, or unusual ways, I think there are always going to be people coming up with new and unique ways to add a LotR twist to the unexpected.

It seemed fitting to have a Hobbit article since the next Hobbit movie is opening in two days.
