Who the hell is Tom Bombadil?
- jyriand 4y agoFuck livejournal for hijacking my back button on mobile. Edit: obviously, I replied under wrong comment.
- michaericalribo 4y agoPress and hold back on iOS to choose the page to return to
- Insanity 4y agoCool, TIL

- wongarsu 4y agoA character from Lord of the Rings. He's a hermit living in nature, and one of the more notable things omitted in the movies. Probably because apart from saving the Hobbits from some dangers early in their journey he doesn't play much of a role.
- ramesh31 4y agoSorry, lame joke. Peter Jackson cut Tom Bombadil from the movies, and it was a meme 20 years ago.
- dentemple 4y agoMemes don't really go over well on HN, especially not 20yo memes, and especially not non-obvious memes where you can easily be seen as being pointlessly flippant to the OP instead.
- HeckFeck 4y agoRepeat this refrain and he'll immediately appear for a merry introduction: Ho! Tom Bombadil, Tom Bombadillo! By water, wood and hill, by the reed and willow, By fire, sun and moon, harken now and hear us! Come, Tom Bombadil, for our need is near us!
