Reading The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien for the first time since middle school and either I had forgotten or didn't notice, but Gandalf is so rude to those dwarves.
And I don't blame him, those dwarves are jerks. Thorin's all "wahhh! Why didn't the map and key come to me?" And Gandalf's like "Because your father was dying and crazy as a sack of cats when he told me to give them to you, you dumb slut! He barely could tell me his own name, let alone yours, I had to figure that shit out on my own and hunt you down! You're lucky I figured it out before you died of old age!" Only this stopping him from bitch slapping dwarven royalty right then and there is Bilbo standing in the corner like
I can see why he was so insistent on putting a Hobbit in the group. The only thing stopping him from punting those little guys all across the country side is the one in fourteen chance that he boots a Hobbit by mistake.
