@ "THIS PLOTLINE IS BEGINNING TO LOSE ITS APPEAL!!"
You hear crashing   
rockBilbo saw that the moment had come when he must do something.
He could not get up at the brutes and he had nothing to shoot
with; but looking about he saw that in this place there were
many stones lying in what appeared to be a now dry little
watercourse. Bilbo was a pretty fair shot with a stone, and
it did not take him long to find a nice smooth egg-shaped one
that fitted his hand cosily. As a boy he used to practise
throwing stones at things, until rabbits and squirrels, and
even birds, got out of his way as quick as lightning if they
saw him stoop; and even grownup he had still spent a deal of
his time at quoits, dart-throwing, shooting at the wand,
bowls, ninepins and other quiet games of the aiming and
throwing sort - indeed he could do lots of things, besides
blowing smoke-rings, asking riddles and cooking, that I
haven't time to tell you about. There is no time now. While
he was picking up stones, the spider had reached Bombur, and
soon he would have been dead. At that moment Bilbo threw.
The stone struck the spider plunk on the head, and it dropped
senseless off the tree, flop to the ground, with all its legs
curled up.

Oh, man, that's a riot! I had to think about it for a second, then all of a sudden, I couldn't stop laughing.
Good one!

By breaking the fourth wall into an out-of-character mode, he also broke the fourth wall, thus letting him escape the drunk guards. I dunno, I like it.

Well, ok.

The rest of this series was totally unnecessary.

Eeeeh. It's not so good if you realize perspectively, the 4th wall would either be facing down or towards the reader.
