Colbert interviews Smaug

Yes, as he wraps up his final season of The Colbert Report on Comedy Central, Stephen Colbert managed to land an interview with the big guy.

By the way, did you know Colbert himself had a cameo in the Hobbit?

SO much looking forward to the final film.  DWARVES.

Aah, peeing by #candlelight. We lost #power at about 11am and still don't have it back. This huge #storm is clobbering a large part of the #eastcoast and it has taken out power to thousands of people in #Vermont. Now that the sun has set we're using #candles, batteries, and oil #lanterns to light the house, keep us warm, cook food, and light important rooms. Like the bathroom. For everyone else in this storm, stay safe.
This is posted prominently inside the main entrance of our local medical office. One of these things is not like the other...
After a doctor appt today we stopped to grab some food in a little hole in the wall diner and they had a #stpatricksday tree!!!! Never taking down my tree ever again!
