This is peak chemistry nerd humor with a side of Tolkien reference—because hobbits and chemists both appreciate the importance of that crucial meal between breakfast and eleventh-ses. Security experts would actually approve of this passphrase's complexity, though writing it on your face might compromise operational security just a tad.
