3 January 1892 3 January 2003. JRR Tolkien is Eleventy One!

Happy 111th Birthday, J.R.R. Tolkien! He would be Eleventy One January 3.

If I weren't already partying for the Ohio State Buckeyes in the National Championship Game I would probably throw Old man Tolkien a birthday party.

Unfortunately for JRR, tomorrow is his 111th birthday but he doesn't possess a ring of power. Therefore, he is dead. Happy birthday anyways, even though you're dead JRR Tolkien!

A very respectable age for a hobbit.

Happy Birthday, J.R.R. Tolkien.... your books gave much pleasure.

Happy birthday J.R.R. Tolkien. I'm looking forward to your commentary on The Two Towers DVD.

Had a beer in his honor last night, The Professor is one of my heroes and somewhere he is smiling to be Eleventy One like his first created hero Bilbo Baggins of Bag End.
