    For those of who worked at certain restaurants, you might have experienced a dedicated group of 75+ friends and yes they do meet at the same place everyday. In fact when we were closed they’d camp outside in the parking lot in lawn chairs.

    The exact same group of geriatrics… every single day. Honestly it was sad to see one missing and not come back because you knew why.








    • Sam did all the cooking, gathered water, managed supplies, and made sure they didn’t starve.
      Frodo carried the Ring.

    • Sam did the emotional heavy liftin and kept Frodo sane, motivated, and moving forward through hopelessness.
      Frodo carried the Ring. Well sighing dramatically.

    • Sam did the dirty work of fighting off Gollum more than once, including barehanded wrestling.
      Frodo carried the Ring. Well whining about how Gollum “gets him”.

    • Sam did the impossible and carried Frodo up the slopes of Mount Doom.
      Frodo carried the Ring. Barely.

    • Sam did what no man, elf, or dwarf could. Stabbed Shelob and lived to tell about it.
      Frodo carried the ring. Got poisoned and swaddled by a spider.

    • Sam did a solo stealth mission into an Orc-infested tower to rescue Frodo.
      Frodo carried the ring. Nearly lost the ring and got himself captured.

    • Sam did the navigation, planning, and kept them alive in Mordor when Frodo could barely crawl.
      Frodo carried the Ring (while Sam carried Frodo).

    • Sam did the noble thing and resisted the Ring’s temptation, even when Frodo couldn’t.
      Frodo carried the ring. Than literally claimed the Ring for himself at the finish line.

    • Sam did the final act of loyalty and stood by Frodo ready to die, with no thought of glory.
      Frodo reverted to being useless after he couldn’t carry the ring. So he sat there like a broken po-tat-o.

    • Sam did all of this as a swole gardener and working-class hobbit.
      Frodo was a rich guy’s spoiled nephew who spent his youth reading poetry and skipping stones at the lake.

    Frodo was less “Ring-bearer” and more glorified emotional support backpack with trust issues.
    Sam did everything. Frodo just carried the Ring and even that nearly broke him.

    If the fate of Middle-earth were an Uber ride, Frodo was the guy crying in the backseat while Sam navigated, paid the tolls, and punched a spider.
