Come celebrate Bullroarer Took day with us! On March 10th we’ll begin accepting screen shots from all over Middle-earth honouring the mighty Bullroarer Took!

For those who don’t know their Shire History, Bandobras "Bullroarer" Took led the Hobbits at the Battle of Greenfields when Orcs from Mount Gram, led by their Chieftain, Golfimbul, invaded the Northfarthing. During the battle, Bandobras defeated Golfimbul with a mightly blow that knocked off his head. Golfimbul's head flew through the air for 100 yards and dropped down a rabbit hole. Thus, according to Shire legend, inventing the game of Golf!
