Cupped the high school fence for Hobbit Day.

[Man 2]

It reads, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BAGGINSES!" in 12oz. styrofoam drinking cups.

I wonder, do other schools do this as well?

Discuss cups, Hobbits, and fences.

Anyone up for a smoke?
I'd smoke a pipe for a few minutes on Hobbit day.
If I had a pipe.
And if I was 18.
And if I was a hobbit.

I am glad you pointed out that the cups were 12oz, not sure what I would have done without this information.

Don't have a fence like this to do it with ;-;
And wtf is hobbit day?

[masterockets]

Did you/they get caught?

[aludane]

Hobbit day?

Please tell.

who the hell is baggiases

That's trim on the school building, the N we had to make into a Π because how the hell would you make it

what's hobbit day?

The 22nd of September (by Shire-reckoning), the birthday of both Bilbo and Frodo Baggins. Sometimes celebrated on the 12th since that's the Gregorian equivalent, but who the forget cares.

Did you/they get caught?

Perfectly legal. This is kind of a tradition. Often used to wish people happy birthdays, wishing luck to the home team on upcoming sporting events, asking girls to homecoming/prom, etc.
We also have a large boulder that sits about ten to twenty meters to the right of that particular message, that's painted to celebrate such things. Often a fence-cupping is accompanied by a corresponding rock-painting, but not always. This isn't so.

It's amazing to think how thick the layers of paint are on that rock by now.

asking girls to homecoming/prom, etc.

I sent that bitch some 12oz plsatic cups.
Bitches LOVE 12oz plastic cups.

[Mega-Bear]

Because that's how we roll in the Shire.

By the way, if you ever decide to cup a local fence, be sure not to get 12oz cups, as they're a bit too large for the chain links.
I imagine 8oz cups will work; this is the first time we'd done this. We made it work though.

OH MY GOD
This reminds me of a story in which my friend was going to ask a girl out to homecoming
So we got out in the break of dawn and starting cupping the words "HC, Alli?" or something like that, forgot the name
And we totally forgot to sign it with his name
So he was walking up to her to ask about her reaction and she was already holding flowers in her arms ;-;
