    not saying that you’re wrong, but the order of your words seem to imply that the hobbit followed lotr.

    it actually was released seventeen years (and a whole second world war and more) earlier.

    it was released even before we voluntarily chose to irradiate our atmosphere like dumbfucks. the hobbit came out in 1937, lotr came out in 1954.

      I was responding to LotR first and just added the Hobbit to the end of the sentence because I didn’t have time to start the sentence over.

      Didn’t know ‘as well as’ implied an order.

        Pooping at work? That’s about the only reason to not have time to proofread.

        Boss makes a dollar, I don’t see a dime, that’s why I poop on company time.

          While I do that daily, it is never rushed.

          I was posting the reply above while in a drive thru.
