Heh, in San Diego, I experienced pick-up lines that compared me to hobbits. It wasn't the first time that happened either.

You know, if you're going to call your home the Hobbit Hole, you REALLY can't complain when you're compared to a hobbit.

Do you see me calling my place the Troll Cave? The Orc Pit? The Uruk-Hai Cavern?

This was me.
