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

Upon the hearth the fire is red, |
Still round the corner there may wait |
Home is behind, the world ahead, |
Can't find it lately so I had to settle for store brand. Although, Publix does make a fairly decent ginger ale!
That. is. funny.
Classic.
D'oh!
It will be good to see you again as well. It's been quite a while since the KC-BBQ tri-state mini-moot with OT.
Figgers... :-)
I'd prefer to be in the ranger class myself. I just don't see myself as a dwarf, or an elf... and I'm not so swift with horses... I guess I'm stuck with ranger life.
See there! You're a stinky Man of the West! ;-D
Embrace it, my friend...coulda been worse, ya know! Coulda been Celeborn or sumthin... *laughing wickedly*
I bid you stand! Men of the West!
Damn... good stuff that.
Seems like forever since the moot, doesn't it?
I'm truly looking forward to the next one. I'll be bringing my oldest along this time since she insists she needs to see her friend with the same name again. *smile*
That was GOOD, thanks for posting it. It is simply amazing how most all of it made sense. Guess I should knock of reading 'Federal Register' for fun. :-)
Yes, it truly is!
I wonder if we'll all be able to make it through all 3 extended versions in one day!
Babbling...its getting late.
Late? It's only 10:15pm on a Friday night! Let's party!
Kidding with ya. I remember when I used to be able to stay up all night, take a quick 2-3 hour nap, shower and go to work like nothing.
Those days are faaaaaar behind me now, as proven on Sunday night when I got home from a Halloween party at 4am and had to be to work at 9. Was not pretty!
And no, I didn't want to be there until 4am but my sister never showed up to give me a ride, so I was stuck until the band finished and I got a ride home.
I'll bet we break up THE MOVIES into manageable sessions, interspersed with the launching of various projectiles toward yonder targets, plus as I understand consumption of vast quantities of (insert).
Hmmm. makes me wonder now what G'nad was hauling those logs for. Obstacle course? Log cutting contests? Caber toss?
Prolly to hide any interlopers' bodies in....
Hehehe...now yer headed for Move Moot....the only moot that requires lifting.
There are pre-game speeches, and then there are pre-game speeches.
Patton's address to the troops at (shucks... was it Bastogne? I think it was...) was magnificent.
Ike's note to the troops about to hit the beaches on D-Day.
But damn... the couple of places the LOTR that are guaranteed to make me tear up are the part where Theoden runs down the line of horsemen slapping his sword on the line of pikes. "Ride! Ride now! Ride for ruin! And a red dawn!!!" I'm pretty much gone at that point.
But nothing makes me wanna grab a sword and swing as much as Aragorn's "I have seen in you a fear that would take the very heart of me. There may come a day when the strength of men fails, but IT IS NOT THIS DAY." [snif] but by the time he gets to the "I bid you stand! Men of the West!" by then i'm already long gone.... :-)
It's a Man thing.
Just like I fret everytime I hear Merry say "There won't BE a Shire, Pippin." and choke up when Frodo says "I'm glad you're with me". That, my friend, it is Hobbit thing. ;-D
Pfffft to Rigo Mortis!
My Dad was with the IV infantry division in 1944, went ahore on D-Day at Utah, before the first wave, with a radio I think...then the Hedgerows, the liberation of Paris, Hurtgen Forest, finally the Bulge, where the IV(th) was attached to Patton. Later, right into Germany. The IV division had over 200% casualties by then, in less than 2 years. At that point, they were slated for the Pacific, but luckily the Japanese surrendered first.
Wish he was still around, would be interested in hearing his opinion of Mr Kerry's soldiering, don't think it would be flattering.
Yeah, I like those parts of ROTK, too.
