We have them here in North Alabama too and they are not to be messed with. When confronted they tend to act worse than an upset chimpanzee on steroids.

Hey, I have hair coming out of my ears!
Thats because you're a dang hobbit!
Almost. I was too tall to be a hobbit, so I tried out for the part of an Orc, and got it. I spent 18 days at Paradise in Glenorchy, standing around in a suit that stayed around 40 degrees C for 12 hours a day. Think I drank about 7 litres of water every day.
I've watched the first LOTR movie several times, and I still haven't been able to identify myself in the forest battle scene - but I'm in there somewhere!

Very cool! I hadn't thought about the NZ folks here having LOTR connections (much less character parts, however small).
I'm curious - my brother was in NZ for a summer while they were filming, and tells stories about how one could pick out the parts extras were playing, just by their physical stature.
I.e.:
short - they're a hobbit
tall, waifly-thin - they're an elf
muscular - they're an orc
