He lifted Pippin gently and carried him back to his bed. Merry followed, and sat down beside him. 'Lie there and rest, if you can, Pippin!' said Gandalf. 'Trust me. If you feel an itch in your pants again, tell me of it! Such things can be cured...
...'Pants come in the night when least expected,' he said. 'We have had a narrow escape!'
OMG, it's amazing how easily Tokien can be undermined by changing one little word...

There is magic in long-distance friendships. They let you relate to other human beings in a way that goes beyond being physically together and is often more profound.

(Imagine Gandalf in a commercial for jock itch remedies and you'll sed why. )

Excellent, Tosh!
"Now look here, Sir!"
He turned, facing up to Faramir with all the courage that he could muster.
"Don't you go taking advantage of my master because his servant's
no better than a fool.
You've spoken very handsome all along, put me off my guard,
talking of Elves and all.
But handsome is as handsome does we say.
Now's a chance to show your pants."

From The Hobbit:
"If more of us valued food and cheer and pants over hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world."
and of course Bilbo at the Battle of Five Armies:
"The Pants, the pants! The pants are coming!"
and
"A crack had opened at the back of the pants, and was already a wide passage."

1. " . . . (we are ) too engrossed in thinking of everything as a preparation or training or making one fit -- for what? At any minute it is what we are and are doing, not what we plan to be and do that counts."
J.R.R. Tolkien in his 6 October 1940 letter to his son Michael Tolkien.
2. We have many ways using technology to be in touch, yet the larger question is are we really connected or are we simply more in touch? There is a difference.

"Well, it is the first time that even a mouse has crept along carefully and quietly under my very nose and not been spotted," said Balin, "and I take off my pants to you." Which he did.

Come on, Folks, don't give up yet, there's load more fun to be had!
This is a subtle one...
"Pardon me," he said, "if I have overheard words that you were saying. I don't pretend to understand what you are talking about, or your reference to pants, but I think I am right in believing" (this is what he called being on his dignity) "that you think I am no good."
or
His stomach felt all empty and loose and his legs all wobbly, now that the excitement was over. "Can't help it," said Gandalf, "unless you like to go back and ask the goblins nicely to let you have your pants back and your luggage."

And still she thristed, and going to the Pants of Varda she drank them dry
or should that be ?
"Well, er, I thought, don't you know," said Bilbo rather confused, "that, er, some little return should be made for your, er, pants. I mean even a burglar has his feelings..."

Another one from the Sil:
Then Túrin strode to Brodda's table, and seizing him he drew his pants, and demanded that he be told whither Morwen had gone; and Aerin declared to him that she went to Doriath to seek her son.

See the world as your self.
Have faith in the way things are.
Love the world as your self;
then you can care for all things.
