BTW for anyone too lazy to do the math a wage of $125 a day works out to about $15/hour for an 8-hour workday so….. someone in 1923 definitely had a vision of the future

someone’s gonna get cancelled doing this and they’re gonna cry crocodile tears over how difficult it is to make a living as a content creator and i’m telling you right now we are NOT going to buy it, got it? scabs deserve no sympathy
When most people “roll their eyes”, they flick their eyes directly upward, usually as far as they comfortably go, then resume looking normally.
When someone who learned the phrase before the behavior does it, they usually go in a circular (ish) motion. Since most eye movements are lines, it’s usually pretty triangular: the key points are usually a diagonal up one way, then to the far other side, then to a diagonal low the first way. Thus, the eyes basically make a loop, so they “rolled”.
I’ve found that when people who learned the up-down way first try the circular motion, they might risk motion sickness, so experiment carefully.
I love how Bilbo gets progressively better at Being a Master Thief™ as The Hobbit goes on.
He tries to steal from the trolls– it ends in a total failure.
Then he steals the Ring from Gollum. (“THIEF!!!” “YOU STOLE IT FROM US!!”-- Gollum was the first person to call Bilbo a true thief, which probably gave him a big confidence boost. This moment is a critical turning point not just because it’s the first time Bilbo has to fend for himself, but also because it’s the first time Bilbo successfully steals something. It’s the moment Bilbo realizes that he really CAN be a burglar.)
After the Mirkwood Spiders capture his friends, he steals them back.
Then he steals food from the halls of the Elf-King,
Literally ARRANGES A JAILBREAK,
And steals from Smaug himself.
Finally, his last Master Thief Challenge– he steals the Arkenstone . It’s like he spent the entire story robbing enemies to develop the skills he would need to steal from his friends. That’s poetic™
Amazing take
Then he steals the possibility of inheriting Bag End from Sackvilles by adopting Frodo.
New idea.
The Hobbit but the dwarves hire the Payday Gang.
They better bring some Anti-Air and Armor-piercing weaponry.
Even just their regular guns would be unstoppable against most of the foes. Only smaug would really be any threat to people armed with modern weaponry. XD
Problem is… this might give Sauron ideas. He was like the Personification of Evil Industrialization. You give him the idea and in 10-20 years you’ve got orks with APCs and rifles…
Fair. Which is why it’s a shame this takes place in The Hobbit, cuz otherwise, we could just take this chance to not give Sauron the time, send Frodo in with the crew to Mount Doom, mowing down armies of Orcs on the way, to destroy the ring.
But since this is the Hobbit, this idea would give Sauron what he needs to destroy the world if men in less than 30 years. Which means Frodo probably won’t even be born, Lotd won’t happen, and the Ring will be squarely in his hands before Frodo can ever even know it exists. XD
Damn this got real dark really fast XD Unless…
> Enters Gandalf dual-wielding Desert Eagles.
Oh, dual-wielding Gandalf would solo all of Mordor. XD
[in movie announcer voice] “Gandalf is back in White and this time, he is Packing.”
This time he doesn’t even go to Rohan to save the king, he just goes straight to Sauruman and pops his ass while he’s busy puppeteering. XD
