Wait!

[Symmetry]

Exactly...it's quiet... too quiet...

[muy_thaiguy]

It's too loud!

You should have answered the phone while you had the chance.

There is a stop light where the crossing light has an audible element. When the signal is "do not walk" it says "WAIT!"

I've always wanted to get the quartet to stand under it and record it saying "Wait" with us responding ... "'til the sun shines Nellie."

Barbershopppers are strange. Get used to it. If the Beatles can cross a road, we can stand on the corner waiting for the sign to speak.

As long as the sign isn't telling you to go and kill for the glory of His Signage, we can live with it....

Paul had no shoes.

Then how will Prince Charming find you? Ayers and the whole anti shoe-loss lobby are the ugly sisters of this world, and I, for one will take a slightly wonky stand.

Paul was an exceptionally tall Hobbit.

Hobbits live in holes. That's pretty much lesson one of Hobbit lore. Unless you can persuade me that he was on some sort of quest involving, at the very least, dwarves and wizards, I find your suggestion borderline ridiculous.

Hobbits live in holes.

Some hobbits lived in Smials but not all depending on the situation. Eastfarthing was a good example of hobbits living in houses (Source) Liverpool might in some ways be similar to Eastfarthing, at east metaphorically.

The Shire was based on the Midlands region of England. It's dangerous to extrapolate too much, but Liverpool is about the right direction and distance to be on the shore of the ice bay of Forochel, and in fact there's a vague resemblance between the Mersey Estuary and Forochel. So maybe the Beatles were the Giants of Forochel?

Tolkien was a bit of an Oxford snob, and I mean that kindly. The centre of Oxford, as a city was, and still is, ruled by the University. The outskirts of Oxford were pretty poor, and have never really received the share of the money that the centre has.

I've always thought that Tolkien had a kind of weird, Oxford centric view of the working class because of it. There are elite elves, dwarves, and wizards, but there are also poor people living in holes, and, although they're burglars, they have a role to play.
