They could have fitted the whole ring / tape / mouse assembly into a small paper bag Aragorn could have kept it in his jacket and fed it little bits of lembas on the way how lovely x

I thought Sam did put on the ring in the books.
It also affected Boromir just being around it.
Didn’t Smeagol kill a friend just to have it before even wearing it?

Yes. Basically, Sam was practically only one in the Fellowship who could resist the temptations of The Ring, because he had really simple desires.

The mouse definitely would have escaped and ran straight to Sauron.

Yep. This particular configuration only works because of Sam’s devotion to Frodo.

Okay but what about all the fish that swam in the river the ring was in all this time

Sam just had the strength to resist the ring.
He didn’t crave for power, but only for food and peace.

Sam had hobbit pussy eager at the ring of a bell if he’d have wanted, he wasn’t lacking.

No, just proves Sam is the real hero of the story.
Yeah Sam is the hero we need but probably don’t deserve

They could tie the ring to a balloon and push it along.

Better yet, start the battle of pelannor fields as usual, cept you give that paper bag to Gwaihir and have him drop that shit on Mt doom like a gahdamn b52. NnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnerrrroooooomKABOOM. Job done.
I’m imagining a sped up montage and then a record scratch “yup that’s me, in the paper bag. You’re probably wondering how I ended up here…”
