Today’s award goes to CNN anchor Jonathan Mann, for this slip of the tongue.
Uh-huh. And the hero of ‘The Hobbit‘ is ‘Dildo’ Baggins.

The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!
I remember Dildo and Frito along with the wizard Goodgulf Greenteeth. Don't you?
One of the funnies books I have ever read: National Lampoon's "Bored of the Rings". The Orcish version of the "One Ring to rule them all" verse was rendered as:
Grundig Blaupunkt Luger Frug
Watusi Snarf Wazoo
Nixon Dirksen Nasahist
Rebozo Bugaloo.
You know you're old if you don't need to look up any of these.
I know them, but damn if that didn't read first like Vogon poetry!
And the hero of 'The Hobbit' is 'Dildo' Baggins."
I think that was "Dildo Bugger." (That I can remember this and not something useful is very sad.)
Who remembers the rest of the Ballad of the Green Toupées (We hardly need the strength of thirty / When we can win by fighting dirty) and the Narcs' hymn?
From the halls of Khazad-duma
To the shores of Lithui …
Sigh, earbugged (ear-buggered?) again.
I'm pretty sure those have not yet been hunted to extinction. A renewable resource, perhaps?
