taking the hobbits to Isengard

A trivial phrase used to describe somebody who takes longer than expected to complete a task or objective. Taken from dialogue of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and coined by Owl City frontman Adam Young.

"Plane finally took off after a two hour delay. The pilot was totally taking the hobbits to Isengard."
