Repeat this refrain and he'll immediately appear for a merry introduction:

    Ho! Tom Bombadil, Tom Bombadillo!
    By water, wood and hill, by the reed and willow,
    By fire, sun and moon, harken now and hear us!
    Come, Tom Bombadil, for our need is near us!

A character from Lord of the Rings. He's a hermit living in nature, and one of the more notable things omitted in the movies. Probably because apart from saving the Hobbits from some dangers early in their journey he doesn't play much of a role.

Sorry, lame joke. Peter Jackson cut Tom Bombadil from the movies, and it was a meme 20 years ago.

Memes don't really go over well on HN, especially not 20yo memes, and especially not non-obvious memes where you can easily be seen as being pointlessly flippant to the OP instead.

Fuck livejournal for hijacking my back button on mobile.
