Eleventh Thread: Wedding Edition: The Hobbit Hole XI - No One Admitted Except on Wedding Business!
New verse:

Yep.
I was about to brush my teeth too, LOL! Okay, start circulating the tapes! :)
The novelization of the new movie. There are also novels of independent stories--something elf-boy can look forward to when he gets older :) Actually that's kinda partly how I learned to read on an adult level--when "Star Wars" came out I read the novelization of that and it got me in the habit of reading movie novelizations.
Yeesh, around here you'd be at a dead stop in no time. If you leave 3/4 of a car length, some dumb jack$^#^#%^#^ will try to shove a car into it.
no fair right clicking to see what it is...
Get a "Pearl" totebag.
Hmmm--is that a Spider-Top, maybe? :)
Crow was just choosing his catch phrases before the commercial break, now they're back. "We're all out of toner!" (I recorded off TV BTW--did you?) Pearl is just starting.
Er, you have to remember that I've seen the first four out of twenty-four episodes. So far the differences are: it's not 16th century Japan, but rather one of those mixed high/low tech cultures anime seems to love. IE, people are fighting robots with katanas. The bandits are robots of some sort, not precisely sure what. Kikuchuyo is also a machine. Instead of a couple of ancient farmers, the villagers send their priestess-chick, her kid sister, and a young farmer to look for samurai. Plus, the movie is three hours long; the anime will clock in at somewhere over eight, so they can expand things a lot. Or invent all-new stuff...
Oh, yeah, and some of the samurai are pretty in this version. Especially Katsushiro.
If you had highspeed internet, I could tell you where to get these - I'm using a p2p network, basically, and this anime isn't licensed yet so it's not illegal to download fansubs. Heh, you're the one who needs to find an anime group in your area. People there are usually thrilled to pass out fansubs.
my mother walks into the kitchen this morning with this thing still in the package and asks me what I think of it. I took one look and said, "what on earth is this thing that you have wasted your money on?"
she opened the package and proceeded to place this contraption ON MY HEAD.
So Fingle didn't dopple?
Not yet. Doppplefinger! Double-naught doppler!
Very good! Glad to know about him and we'll let you know if he sends any more notes when he gets them!
Thanks.... It don't deserve it, but it will be a treasure. Serrated would be cool, and ecurbh and I could tell our knives apart better too!
We need to send ya money, now that we are both getitng paid again.
Well, give me the link at least for when I'm able to get it later. Sigh--I'm really gonna have to look into getting highspeed Internet somehow. I think the closest anime club is the comic store in Green Bay 75 miles away, unfortunately. But I'll probably be going there as my birthday present to myself next week, so maybe I'll ask the guy if he has fansubs. He has a pretty big manga collection.
Anyway, that anime version sounds pretty cool. You know I bet there's a real market for turning classics into anime like that.
Very good to hear about elf-boy-spider boy feeling better msdrby!
I didn't realize the villian is Michael Moore, LOL!
Love the primitive computer graphics in this movie.
"You used your password for unauthorized viewing of cinnabuns!"
Madeline Albright is yelling at Fingle.
Thank you! He is feeling better just in time to test for his next belt. However, I am going to see if he can take the make up test since he has missed the last three classes.
"Have you ever been doppled before?"--I can't believe they let that line go by with no comment!
"Man--huge slam on anteaters out of nowhere!"
