Well in that the American writers had given him bad teeth yes. But do

Blame your US protectionist agricultural laws. We'd have loved to export
Hobbits to the US.

Actually what's really stoooopid about their money is that the $2 coin is
smaller than the $1 coin, and their notes are funny colours. And the $5
doesn't have Sir Ed on it, and everyone knows that Sir Ed is the greatest
Bloke of the 20th century. Any US money is dumb because it's all the
same colour and you don't have $1 coins for sticking in coke machines.

I'm not entirely sure what that means, but I might post a pic of me in my

Bah Blank Dave can't build a bigger form flame.
