        I wrote the first sentence, then remembered the poems Tolkein wrote about Tom Bombadil.

        Tom Bombadil was a merry old fellow

        his jacket was blue and hit boots were yellow

        (not verbatim, from memory)

        Well, I’m talking about Sam and he’s a hobbit, he doesn’t even wear boots. It was mostly just weird silly connections in my head after writing down the first sentence fairly seriously. I had just happened to end the sentence with “fellow” and then couldn’t help myself.

      The glass will break after a while from the heat if you just let it stand there.

      So the wick is in the mouth of the bottle because it’s more secure there than if you tied it around the neck?

        The wick soaks up the fuel so it lights up easy and stays lit, while also plugging up the hole so the fuel doesn’t spill out of the bottle until after it’s thrown and breaks.

    I really like this meme, but it needs a “, Mr. Frodo,” inserted between the words “cocktail,” and “and.”
