*bows to tolkien*

hats of to the author of the great trilogy we all came to love...

Happy Birthday My Dear! Thank you for a inviting us into a wonderful whole new world!!

But he is not dead, my dear. Tolkien lives in all of us! Hurrah for Middle-Earth! Thanx a million my wonderful Tolkien. You are my hero and I love you for that. Happy birthday! Hope you enjoy your eternal life! Three...no FOUR cheers for John Ronald Reuel Tolkien! Hip hip hurray! Hip hip hurray! Hip hip hurray! Hip Hip HURRAY!!!!! We shall never forget you nor your wonderful books. You are a truely loved person and a magnificent author. Your mind is a great work of art and we all enjoy your books. Thank you for Middle-Earth. Now we have a world to escape to when all else goes wrong in our own reality. I hope to meet a hobbit one day That would be truely wonderful. And dispite what everyone says, I know hobbits and elves and Middle-Earth exists. Right now we are living in the Seventh Age, said in the LOTR books, and hobbits live, but stay out of the Big Folk's sight. But someday, I shall meet a hobbit and it will be all thanx to you. So happy 112th birthday! We love you dearly! HURRAH FOR TOLKIEN!

HUZZAH FOR TOLKIEN!

We have to give him some respect, without him, we wouldn't even be here.

Thank you Tolkien for everything and you still live in each and every of your die hard fans. We all miss you so much, even if you dont know us. Happy Birthday and lots of love from all of us.

Happy birthday to you Tolkien. Without Lord of the Rings my life wouldn't have been the same. Tolkien lives inside me and will be there till the day of my death. Thank you for a perfect achievement.

happy birthday Tolkien!!!!!
not only does he live in our heart but will live forever as long as there is a copy of Lotr to read. may he be happy in the afterlife.

yeah, he didnt just give us a whole new world, he gave us each other, imagine no lotr would mean no forum...meaning none of us would know each other

Happy birthday Tolkien!!! I'm sorry I missed your eleventy-first birthday but happy 112!
You'll be around until everyone who's ever heard of LotR is gone though, and that will take quite a while. Thank you for Middle-earth!!!
