Happy Tolkien Tuesday, folks! Our resident J.R.R. Tolkien expert Ada is off on a merry adventure right now, and she's left me to share these memes with all of your Middle Earth residents. The only problem is I am not what you'd call a Lord of the Rings expert, which you could probably tell by my use of the phrase "Middle Earth residents." I did not even read The Hobbit in the 3rd grade. I don't have a stellar justification for this lack of knowledge; I'm simply taking my time while consuming big franchised movies. In the summer of 2020, I cracked open a Harry Potter book for the first time for the sole reason that I wanted to understand something so crucial to the cultural zeitgeist. I know that someday, I will watch Star Wars and Lord of the Rings and will probably love them, but that day has not come yet. In the meantime, I'm happy to supplement my ignorance of these alleged masterpieces with the nuggets of trivia only memes can provide.
