Except for the unnatural ones, hobbits don't like water and boats are highly suspicious things.

[mtgat]

Sand pirates, then?

[braider.livejournal.com]

Unless they can move about like land sharks, they've got problems.

....gummy eyelids, for one.

[batyatoon]

"Unnatural"? On behalf of Merry and the rest of the Brandybucks, hey.

I'm now having the image of Elijah Wood in Johnny Depp's getup from 'Caribbean'.

Curse you, Toon.

Arrr!

Why, that's shameful. People who want hobbits should pay for them like everyone else. Won't the RIAA crack down on this epidemic?

[bigscary.livejournal.com]

Notorious for stealing food and leaving the cargo, right?

[acrobatty.livejournal.com]

Parrots would be disproportionate. Perhaps cockatiels?

[mtgat]

Parakeets.

[cheezdanish.livejournal.com]

Aarrrrr. Mushrooms! Avast and keelhaul the mizzenmast, ye scurvy halflings.

Well, it would explain the lighthouse I saw yesterday- the Brandywine Lighthouse...

*cough*

Err... what an evil, evil thought. The good kind of evil, that is. I commend your wickedness.

And if you'll excuse me, now, I must go off to kill this uprising of vicious plotbunnies. They appear to be multiplying like... well, like bunnies. I hope you're proud of yourself, you wicked, wicked person, you.

Five Shires

[greenbaron.livejournal.com]

The halflings of the Duengeons and Dragons game world were largely inspired by Tolkein's hobbitts.

In the Mystara world of the original D&D game, there is a nation called the Five Shires made up of hin or halflings (Hobbitts). The halflings while appearing cute and childlike can be very tough and the nation had a piracy tradition like that of England, only the Sea Reavers were cute little munschkins.

I do not have the product on the Five Shires so I cannot elaborate, though they did lead pirate raids againts dwarves, goblins, orcs, and a Roman/Byzantine Empire known as Thyatis but that's Hobbitt pirates for you :)
