Warner Bros. Celebrates Tolkien's Birthday In Style

Normally when it's someone's birthday, you buy them presents. But Lord of the Rings scribe J.R.R. Tolkien has been dead for quite some time, so Warner Bros. is sending his fans presents instead. Check out more pictures of the loot below.

Here's what was inside the box shown above:


I asked Jeff Cork to pose with the shirt. Instead he hid behind it. What a baby


Here's the rather mundane message on the back

Here's a closeup of the cups. Are they shot glasses for humans, or normal-sized glasses for hobbits? You be the judge!

So, how are you celebrating Tolkien's birthday?
