“And thou, Melkor, shalt see that no theme may be played that hath not its uttermost source in me, nor can any alter the music in my despite. For he that attempteth this shall prove but mine instrument in the devising of things more wonderful, which he himself hath not imagined.” ~ The Silmarillion

merrypippin Being lies with Eru - Rank 1 Status: Offline Posts: 3 Date: Feb 22, 2013	Who is Meriadoc's best friend? Permalink   Hello everybody! I'm new on the forum   Now I am reading "The Hobbit" and I was all PJ's trilogy. I liked very much Merry and Pippin so, I wonder if Merry's best friend is Pippin in the book too. Thank you!  __________________

But one thing to keep in mind regarding the books - the hobbits are much older than they are portrayed in the films! __________________ Utúlie'n  aurë!  Aiya  Eldalië  ar  Atanatári,  utúlie'n  aurë!  Auta  i  lómë!  Aurë entuluva!

I can't recall exactly. __________________ Utúlie'n  aurë!  Aiya  Eldalië  ar  Atanatári,  utúlie'n  aurë!  Auta  i  lómë!  Aurë entuluva!

Frodo Baggins ~ Date of Birth: September 22, 2968 of the Third Age Meridoc "Merry" Brandybuck  ~ Date of Birth: 2982 of the Third Age Peregrin "Pippin" Took ~ Date of Birth: 2990 of the Third Age Samwise "Sam" Gamgee  ~ Date of Birth: April 6, 2980 of the Third Age (Thank you to The Thain's Book ~ http://thainsbook.net/)   __________________ Vocatus atque non vocatus, Deus aderit Called or uncalled, God is present

It would make sense that Frodo was the oldest since Sam ALWAYS called Frodo "mister Frodo" __________________ Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo! Ring a dong! hop along! fal lal the willow!
