On January 3, 1892, John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born in Bloemfontein, South Africa . Each year, Tolkien fans/admirers/obsessors join together in love and raise a glass of whatever in his honor, with the toast of "The Professor!" I'll be doing it, with some lovely orange juice. Join? The toast happens at 9:00 PM, your local time.
Make sure you're drinking something somewhat good, people. Cheap junk for JRRT? Not cool.
If you want to post any special comments or just sign the list of toast-ers, the tolkiensociety.org has a place you can write in.

I believe hot tea will fulfill this occasion.

Thanks for telling us about this, Cel!

All I'm allowed after 8PM is water, so I shall have to imagine it as Miruvor.

I raise my horn of mead, and drink to his health! (...wait)

hmmmm....*will do this with hot chocolate*

I'll raise my mug of chamomile tea before hitting the sack. I'd toast with mead or wine, but that would get me arrested.

Up with the Dr pepper!

Off to watch the Two Towers! Then all the special features!

One cannot find a more worthy draft than Adam's ale my water drinking comrades! I raise my glass with you!

The Professor! *clink*
