The New Hobbit Hole

[htur_75]

Good morning (or good afternoon). Things have finally slowed down enough (sort of) for me to finally say hello. I like that cartoon OT. I actually saw a short cartoon of that. Very funny. Could be disturbing to young children though. :-)

[Overtaxed]

You mean there's a shorter version? :)

I was looking for a picture of a dead deer appropriate for this topic, and couldn't come up with anything that could compete with Bambi Meets Godzilla...loved that one!

You are precious OT!...

[htur_75]

It starts out with Bambi grazing in a meadow. There's nice music playing in the background. All you see is Godzilla's foot come down on top of Bambi. I found it very amusing. Only saw it on the TV once, and it's been years and years. Anyone else see it?

And to think I was getting (semi-)bashed for being a wildlife hater this weekend!

Did you see my possum post yesterday?http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/646314/posts?page=12439#12439

Anyone else see it?

Hi! I saw it years ago while I was at college... it was part of a short animation festival.

[Overtaxed]

I saw it way back in college. I wonder how much the video costs!

[Corin Stormhands]

Anyone else see it?

Yeah, I saw it, but a long time ago...

[g'nad]

I remember it...I sprayed the TV with my beer...

Corin, thought a fellow dwarf would like this:

10 REASONS WHY AXES ARE BETTER THAN WOMEN:

10. An old axe is just as good as a new axe.
9. You can have an axe at home and another for the road.
8. If you admire a friend's axe and tell him so, he will be impressed and usually will let you try it.
7. Your primary axe doesn't mind if you have a backup.
6. Your axe will stay with you even if you don’t oil it.
5. An axe doesn't take up a lot of closet space.
4. Axes function normally every day of the month.
3. An axe won't ask, "Does this grip make me look fat?"
2. An axe does not mind if you go to sleep after you're done using it.

AND THE NUMBER ONE REASON AXES ARE BETTER THAN WOMEN:

1. An axe doesn’t make any noise till you hit something with it...

uh oh, I hope the 'Hole doesn't turn into another Battle of the Sexes thread...

[Overtaxed]

It just might when Hair gets back from Seattle.

[Corin Stormhands]

Yup, there's nothing like the ol' battle axe...

[g'nad]

No worries there...I'll back down at the first sign of aggression from any of our lovely ladies...Think that'll get me off the hook?...

[Overtaxed]

Far be it from me to come between a dwarf and his axe.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

(sigh) I found a lot of the arguments going on this weekend to be very depressing.

[HairOfTheDog]

It just might when Hair gets back from Seattle.

[Lurking from Seattle]

I was sympathetic to the men in the battle of the sexes! - I was very much the mediator - the peacemaker! Some of the men and many of the women are just unreasonable!

Ginsu mediator!

[Overtaxed]

Glad to hear that! I didn't hang out on the "WWF threads" this weekend so I wasn't exactly sure what your role was.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Some of the men and many of the women are just unreasonable!

That's what I found so depressing... both sides were being unreasonable (imho). And not just on those threads, on the "Is FR a failure?" thread too... just a bunch of angry shouting, no dialog or discussion of facts. Bleah.

[HairOfTheDog]

I didn't bother with the failure thread at all... when I tried to look in on it, I couldn't even tell what the topic had become... or the other "strike" thread... There is one angry chick on there that was dominating the conversation with really off the wall stuff... I decided I didn't want to be too near the fan in case she hit it.

Bleah is right!
