Please please please can I live in the first one? Please? I'll never ask for anything ever again. Ever. I'll even wear a forest green tunic every day. Please?
Okay, Meg. I will grant your wish, but know this: by the time the clock strikes 12 on the 12th day of the 12th month, you must have found the magical toad in the forest, kissed him 12 times and changed him into a prince. If not, the whole village will disappear and you must go back to living in the suburbs and resume the horrible life of a normal human being. -your Fairy Godmother
I found some more info on The Shire (the one in Bend). It's kind of a sad, but thoroughly predictable story: http://www.bendbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080731/BIZ0102/807310374/1041&nav_category
But this one, found by David: [Image]I suppose if you're selling a house for a mere $1,250,000, you can't be expected to shell out for a non-fisheye camera lens.

That first one... wow....
The last one would be great for after the Christmas eating season, I would still be able to get through the door!

Oh yipee! A fun house! I hope it's like that tube you walk into that spins and you try to stay on the bottom - what fun!

Is that toilet paper strung across the door in the 3rd pic?

You can't live in the first one, but you can stay overnight. There's actually a Hobbit Hotel in the North Island of New Zealand..

I love the Shire website. Especially how half of the buildings appear to be video game environments.
I imagine you'll need to select your race (elf, hobbit, dwarf or human? hmmm?) and class (druid? warrior? wizard? hmmm?) before applying.

ah and I know that that comment did have to do with the "race" and "class" of the people living there... but I didnt touch the parenting skills!
