I discovered how to really annoy Kevin last night. It’s so simple. Here’s what you do. Next time you talk to him, bring up the Lord of the Rings and pronounce hobbit as “ho” (the sound Santa makes) + bit (what you put in a horse’s mouth). This drives him absolutely insane.

“I felt they really captured the spirit of the book. I especially like the part where the ho-bits where running from the dark riders and the ho-bits jumped off the path just in time. Good thing ho-bits are so small or they would never have fit behind that log. And the ho-bits feet! I loved the fact all the ho-bit were barefoot with ho-bit hairy feet…..”

He will run screaming. It’ll be fun!

PS If you want to really get his goat, tell him you heard that his favorite character from the trilogy is Woodbeard the Fire Ant. Only say it quickly and then run for your life ’cause that one makes him really insane.
