Mine just "forgets" that i have songs downloaded over time until i go online, so my playlist will effectively gradually shrink. And then as soon as i go online they're instantly available and downloaded again...

It's not about emotions or morals though, it's about how he's treated. He's obviously gonna have more privilege than any human.

He's literally the king of the gods, don't think how things are for humans has any impact on his behaviour.

And 12 and 16 years ago. Unfortunately they might break it for real this time.

He's offering to take part in the bread and circuses, as a friend, implying that he's suffering with bilbo

I mean no, they arose from their hiding in the depths of Angmar is definitely how I'd interpret that

I will not stand for this Pippin slander!

He resisted the will of Sauron himself for a bit, and even when hurt by him he told him a little as possible. Pippin very intentionally told Sauron nothing of their quest or of Frodo and Sam.

He's a fool, but a fairly intelligent, strong-willed and kind fool.

Good meme though.

The cry of Morgoth in that hour was the greatest and most dreadful that was ever heard in the northern world; the mountains shook, and the earth trembled, and rocks were riven asunder. Deep in the forgotten places that cry was heard. Far beneath the ruined halls of Angband, in vaults to which the Valar in the haste of their assault had not descended, Balrogs lurked still, awaiting ever the return of their Lord; and now swiftly they arose, and passing over Hithlum they came to Lammoth as a tempest of fire. With their whips of flame they smote asunder the webs of Ungoliant, and she quailed, and turned to flight, belching black vapours to cover her.

It doesn't actually say anything about how fast they got there. "In that hour" simply means "at that time" here. On the other hand, they travelled "as a tempest of fire", which certainly implies magic and speed. Either way, with such inherently magical creatures as the Balrogs, saying that they cannot travel very quickly without flying seems somewhat naive.

Good meme though, always appreciate something that makes me go back to the scriptures.

I don't think so, at least not meaningfully. Obviously it has a different meaning: tel- is seemingly a prefix that means "finish, end, be last", and orn means tree (can also be seen in his other name, Celeborn). So the meaningful pieces would be tel and orn, which means that the p might be less pronounced than an English person would normally do it, but it doesn't make much of a difference.

Tl;dr: he's just named Teleporno ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

She looks uncannily similar to the professor who plays host to Voldemort in Harry Potter 1

The factory i work at occasionally still uses them for delivering tests to the lab, pretty cool to hear them swish around in the pipes.
