Wow, You’re A Real Hamhead!
You aced it! You read the whole “Hobers” saga, you saw “The Hober” in theaters, and you managed to memorize the Gaunt Golfer’s aggressively dull scripture—which is probably why you knew every single Hopster in Middlemarch! H.R. Hermann wrote some great blocks in his time, and you read ’em correct. Don’t let it go to your “headsman,” but you could totally pass for Hogarth!

Not Very Hobb :(
Um, have you even seen “The Hombit”? Did you not read a single one of H.R. Hermann’s blocks? Not “Friends Of The Hobbet,” “Hombit Is Home,” or even the inimitable “Rise Of The Hambots”?! You pathetic hamhead. You don’t deserve to know about art.
