Hobbling used to be a thing, where they'd chop the toes off...
But this is hobbiting
LOL, touché salesman
Wait, the formula for a quiet, serene life, far away from the urbanity & drama'd be... do crimes? 🤔
I'm personally quite interested in this sort of thing, especially if said Shire is outside of the US —and I'm sure I'm not alone in this. 🥴🤞🏼
I thought Hobbling was breaking ankles and preventing them from healing properly?
