Hobbit Chair and Eat Racing

A 100 word past time

155 xp 2,531 views
A Chair and Eat rig is a two wheeled wagon designed to carry folding chairs and vittles to hobbits working in the field. These wagons are rider less. The ponies are directed from the field's edge by whistle. Usually the field cook does the training and directing. A sport was developed to see which cook had the best chair and eat rig. Competing rigs are required to move through an obstacle course, and make several stops and turns while the judges eat brunch. Riggs are judged on how delicately they move through field and whether lunch is delivered on time.

Rare mark

Hall of Honour

for Hobbit Chair and Eat Racing

The Hall of Honour is your mark on a submission you believe is frick’n awesome — so good you would jump in front of a dragon’s breath to protect the scroll it is written on.

Bestowing HoH also highlights it on the front of the Citadel for about a day, so others see the recognition it earned.

You may bestow HoH on the same submission up to your level (with a short wait between strikes). Five distinct HoH voters raise a work to Golden.

    +0.5 for being part of the Freetext Friday and like Muro said, just cute and a 'ready-to-drop' element for the Shire.

      But if you really hate hobbits, please consider making them your replacement for goblins. You could take everything hobbity and twist it towards malevolence. No unlike the town council in 'Hot Fuzz'.

    If your cooking is too good you might have a disadvantage in race! LOL

    I like it. It's got a nice hobbit feel to it and makes good background flavor for a game. Perhaps PCs meet with their contact at a race, or have to hijack a rig to catch another one loaded with poisoned food.

    As you can see I've done this properly. My Chair and eat rig is being pulled by a proper hobbitish draft pony, and inside you will find bangers and mash, a no-spill tureen of red eye gravy, and a fresh pouch of pipeweed.

    When it comes to a chair and eat rig, the most important thing is power, so instead of a silly hobbitish pony, I've seen fit to attack my rig to a chariot horse team, count them, two horse power! (cart goes off at a break neck pace, seconds later tipping over, making a mess and promptly catching on fire while the chariot horses break away and go crashing through a fence)

    While those two knuckleheads are bickering about proper and power, I'm just going to sneak in with this, a half sized chair and eat, stocked with a bunch of fruit and biscuits, and it's pulled by look at that, an adorable pair of goats. (wagon goes twenty feet, then goat gets tangled in harness, and eats the fruit biscuits while waiting to be untangled)

    And on that bombshell, we say good night and see you next time
