The New Hobbit Hole

[Corin Stormhands]

My brother once came home from Sunday School singing "Sing Banana! Sing Banana! Sing Banana to the King of Kings."

"Sing Hosana"

[RosieCotton]

The first song they sang was (as he had written), "Peace Like a Liver."

LOL! Gotta watch those l's and r's, eh?

I remember coming across a Japanese site with lyrics to common bluegrass songs. One of the songs it listed was "Bully Me Beneath the Willow". Oops...

[Corin Stormhands]

When my son was in the fourth grade, we had a Japanese teacher live with us for a year. His command of English was quite good, but not without the accent.

Sometimes watching the two of them try to understand each other was a hoot.

Very nice posters, but I'd still like to see one with Merry and Pippin with Treebeard or Sam and Frodo with Gollum! My daughter says she'll settle for Legolas looking pretty!

[Corin Stormhands]

Okay folkses, the idjits have spoken. I'm out of here!

I'll be back sometime on Sunday (maybe not here until Monday).

Keep it Secret. Keep it Safe.
Manténgalo secreto. Manténgalo seguro
Maintenez-le secret. Maintenez-le sûr
Halten Sie es geheim. Halten Sie es sicher
Mantengalo segreto. Mantengalo sicuro

Gondor has no skivvies, Gondor NEEDS no skivvies.

You GO, honey!!

[2Jedismom]

OT, you were bad not to ping me to those posters!! I at least check my pings now and then!!

Guess what I got for Matthew?

The Lord of the Rings Chess Set!!!

[ksen]

What, no picture? ;^)

[HairOfTheDog]

You got it? - Neat! Are the pieces good and weighty? Do they look good? What piece is Frodo?

[2Jedismom]

Frodo is the Bishop. Give me time with the pictures!! There will be pictures, but life is going really fast right now. I have hit the floor running every day this week.

The pieces are very heavy and very big! The board is the best, with a great map of Middle Earth on it (that meets my stringent standards). It cost me $29.99 from Target, one of two they had left and they were the only people in town that had it.

I was nearly hysterical when I picked it up.

[ksen]

Oohh, we have a Target. Thanks for the good idea for a Christmas gift. My kids like chess. We had this chess set called "Chess Teacher" and it had plastic pieces with directions on how the piece moves on the bottom of it.

It was kinda neat, and the kids learned how the pieces move. Which, in my opinion is half the battle.

My daughter says she'll settle for Legolas looking pretty!

He just had his hair done!

[Overtaxed]

OT, you were bad not to ping me to those posters!!

My bad! I'll ping you to the next Disney thread I come across! Guess it never entered my pointy little head to ping folkses who weren't around at the time.

I mailed your CD's this afternoon. Does that make it better?

[2Jedismom]

Most noble OT, it leaves me deep in your debt!

[2Jedismom]

I'm off and running again...will try to post some pictures tomorrow.

[Overtaxed]

OK, so now all I need is a Disney thread. :)

[Overtaxed]

Don't forget the popcorn! Collect all three TTT Popcorn Boxes.

[Rocko]

Evidently the contest page is not up and running yet.

[JenB]

Ah, so that's where Aragorn went - to the cover of a popcorn bag!

[ksen]

Uh oh, that first popcorn bag looks like PJ is setting up some sort of triangle between Arwen, Aragorn, and Eowyn.
