Double standards.

Can I bring my friend Puck?
He is just so much fun, you won't belieeeve it!

So that's what Bilbo has been up to during his self-imposed ban. I'm not surprised you were involved Oggie...

I'm a helpful guy.
I got a message from Bilbo the other day, came by carrier pigeon;

Hey,
The rumors are NOT true. It's a misunderstanding, trust me.
There is no connection whatsoever between me and that mysterious Russian cargo ship (Arctic Sea) that was spotted off the coast of many European countries a month ago.
I categorically deny any involvement.

That is all.
For now.

You know something, I'm being 100% serious here, shortly the story about that ship broke I happened to be some strange counter-culture news site and they were speculating about what happened etc. and when the information began trickling out weeks later they had pretty much gotten it right. I have no doubt Bilbo probably reads the same site.
