That was really funny, jon.

I always did wonder about Frodo and Sam--they did seem awfully close. There were also those scenes with Merry and Pippin sharing horses with various and sundry men...

Re: the Sam thing, er, yes, it was a reference to certain sordid diary entries .... I also read a Discworld diary for Lady Sybil in which Lord Rust starts hitting on her ... Sybil notes that 'Sam will kill him if he tries anything ...'
