"Aegidius De Hammo was a man who lived in the middlemost parts of the Island of Britain. In full his name was Aegidius Ahenobarbus Julius Agricola De Hammo; for people were richly endowed with names in those days, now long ago, when this island was still happily divided into many kingdoms. There was more time then, and folks were fewer, so that most men were distinguished. However, those days are over, so I will give in what follows give the man his name shortly, and in the vulgar form: he was Farmer Giles of Ham, and he had a red beard."
Thank you Tolkien for the wonderful pen name!
(By the way in case you have not noticed I'm a avid Tolkien fan)
Full credit is given to J.R.R. Tolkien for most of this of this post and I sincerely apologize if I broke any copyright mumbo jumbo.
