This In 'n Out allows all interested visitors to Writing.com a place to raise a Toast to J.R.R. Tolkien. Let us know what is in your glass (of course, it needn't be an alcoholic drink), and begin with the words: "The Professor" before taking a sip. Stay awhile, or join others in the "The Lothlorien Forum and enjoy what you find as you drink.

The standard toast is: "The Professor"

Curious about the history of the Tolkien Society's annual Birthday Toast or other events in Tolkien's stomping grounds?

""The Professor!" (sparkling cider) Few authors draw me back to scour the same voluminous pages; to relive lyric storytelling, so many attempt to now emulate."

-- Walkinbird - Called to action


"::lifting a pint of good British ale:: "To The Professor - my first read and first literary hero - our world is a better place, for your world to have been. Bado go Eru, Istuion! (Go with God, Professor!)""

-- The Knight Has Returned


"The Professor: may we meet again beyond this earth! You are missed, me dear, though we still remain in the embrace of your fine words. Wait for us on that shining shore, and greet us with a song or two when we come."

-- Lobelia is truly blessed


"::a spot of scotch:: "The Great Professor! Lord among writers and creator of a universe! So many nights have I spent reading your work, and still it fills me with fire. Thanks dude!"

-- Stimpy


" *lifting a glass of Bordeaux wine* “To Middle-earth’s creator and historian: Professor Tolkien! May Ilúvatar bless him and the Ainur uphold him; Brannon tegi nin [Lord guide him!]! "

-- T. Dawson


"Optional ~ Like, your books are so rad, Mr. Tolkien! Peace out to all my lil wizards and hobbits, dude! [Like, Gandalf has such a gnarly beard and uses like magic is so totally cool...and Wormtongue is so uncool and like totally a nerd...] "

-- T. Dawson


"Cheers to Tolkien! For creating the best fantasy series the world has ever known and will ever know! Your writing is better than all the fantasy books combined! You rock!!!! Bigsmile"

-- Merry & Pippin


"To the Professor; Yet another year upon this earth hath flown. Thank you for the gift of Middle Earth!"

-- Walkinbird - Called to action


"To the Professor for hanging in there to write the best piece of fiction of all time!"

-- Sherri the Writer


"(would that my cough syrup were a fine brandy, suitable to the annual Toast) The Professor...Your name and your works endure still."

-- Walkinbird - Called to action


"To the professor- for the joy he shared!"

-- Lobelia is truly blessed


"It's time to pull out the last remaining whole bottle of Martinellis Sparkling Cider - first a knock to me stone skull - ('m havin to rush this toast, as the whole day's slipped by!) Professor Tolkien! Live on with honor, 'ol Master."

-- Walkinbird - Called to action


""The Professor!" (Champagne) The anticipation builds as your delightful romp, "The Hobbit," is made into a live-action film bringing your work into the collaborative hands of wonderful craftspeople for the world-wide audience this year. "

-- Walkinbird - Called to action
