The New Hobbit Hole

[Alkhin]

Y'all are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Sssilllly!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Corin Stormhands]

I gotta go too. BTW, have I mentioned that I'm going on vacation? I've been absolutley worthless today because my mind is here.

Later folkses.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Surely this has been done, and surely anyone who's done it would want it on the net!

Hi there, Mamzelle, the original article for the entire Hobbit Hole is a story about some guy in Australia or New Zealand (I think) who did exactly that. John Farson was the original poster of the article, and all of us just got to talking here.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Was Elrond too weak to take the ring from Isildur...or heck, even to push Isildur over the edge?

Just pointing out the obvious here, but Elrond, like Galadriel, knew what would happen if he had taken the Ring! He would have become more powerful and evil than Sauron. And even with foreknowledge of the likely results of Isildur's error, murdering your ally at the end of a battle is not a very high-minded activity!

Signed, Elrond (acccording to one of those tests)

So if we check that piercam next week and see someone there wearing snowpants, that'd be you?

[Sam Cree]

Didn't know you liked to fish.

Uh, yeah, I guess so...

[Corin Stormhands]

Didn't know you liked to fish.

Actually, I don't. I don't dislike it, but just have never really fished. Probably wouldn't mind it if I took the time to learn (I don't hunt and don't want to).

That was the only web cam I could find near where we stay...

[HairOfTheDog]

But think.... If you fished, you could make your own Lutefisk!

[Overtaxed]

Didn't know there were any lutefish of the Carolina coast.

[Corin Stormhands]

If you fished, you could make your own Lutefisk!

You know I already have enough reasons for not fishing...

ElfBash

I found a use for the ElfBash list!

PAT: Hello and welcome to beautiful Khazan Arena. We have an amazing match for you today as we watch happy elf bash happy elf in a fight of tasty treats which are neat to eat. Two bunkers with trenches have been erected on either side of the arena... staging areas for elf in war machines and magic makers. Live, I'm Pat Summers...

JAY: And I'm Jay Peoples. Studying the staging area I must say these guys are serious. There must a hundred elves on either side! Rifles, grenades, weird little tanks, cannons, and some other things I have no idea what they are! I see the head honcho Keebler Elf is Ebeneezer giving finally orders to his troops and the Krispy Elfs - Snap, Crackle, Pop guys are hurrying along to get all their soldiers into place. This is going to be a elfin bloodbath!

PAT: And while they are warming up, let's get some viewer response.More

tsk tsk tsk

The wheel is a'turnin'! but the gerbil has died...

[Sam Cree]

There's a pier like that in Jacksonville Beach, a guy caught a 750 lb. hammerhead shark off it a few years back. They still have the pictures posted there in the bait shack. Quite a fish.

[Sam Cree]

"who if not Viggo should be Aragon? "

Trouble is, it requires dignity, ferocity, and intelligence wrapped up together.

Clint Eastwood might have pulled it off a few years ago.

[Corin Stormhands]

Snap, Crackle and Pop are over the hill...

[Corin Stormhands]

Some day when I sell my trilogy and PJ makes it into a movie, then I'll have time to do a lot more things, like fishing and golf. I wouldn't mind either, but right now they're not priorities, so other things get in the way...

[Corin Stormhands]

Clint Eastwood might have pulled it off a few years ago.

Yeah, but did Hollyweird really view Clint as a "serious" actor before "Bridges of Madison County?" Wasn't he always just the good lookin' tough guy? (well, maybe I see your point). But by the time he did "Bridges" he was too old to do Aragorn.

I'm kind of used to Mortenson's rendition, and am finding it difficult to think of anyone else who'd seem right in the role. I thought he was pretty well perfect almost right away.

I agree with you about the golf, but fishing and hunting both take on almost a spirituality for me, so I make time for them.

In my old age I'm trying to master drawing and painting, something I've enjoyed and aspired to most of my life, so for now, everything else takes a back seat.
