Most kids grow up idolizing the stereotypical heroes of the Lord of the Rings saga. We all wanted to grow up to be Middle Earthian battle bosses like Aragorn, Legolas, or Gimli, honing our swordsmanship with empty wrapping paper tubes and climbing trees to use our Elven eyes to see into the distance. But as we grew older and the LOTR movies became more ingrained in our souls, it became more and more obvious that we were becoming a different kind of Middle Earth personality... The older we get, the more we are like hobbits.

Since we're insatiably hungry, enjoying our comforts, and happy to stay home for a nice evening by the hearth, the hobbit lifestyle is pretty darn enticing when you reach a certain age. All of the swordplay and tomfoolery on the battlefield has been lost to mature LOTR fans–now we want the simple life in the Shire, enjoying the sunshine, rolling green hills, and our familiar hobbit hole. Perhaps, if an old man approached us with the world's most dangerous piece of jewelry, however, we might just consider going on a short little adventure–after supper of course.

To satisfy your inner hobbit, scroll onward to enjoy this week's selection of Lord of the Rings memes that'll boil n' mash your taters.
