The New Hobbit Hole

[RosieCotton]

Yes, the 22nd.

Which is also the four month anniversary of Mom's death...sigh...

I just HAD to rain on everyone's parade, didn't I? :-(

[2Jedismom]

Which all the more reason for you to do something you'd enjoy that day! You know your mom would want you to! Probably look down at you from heaven and smiling lovingly, thinking "Oh that silly girl!"

one port is labeled 11D...which immediately made me think of hobbits (eleventy) and sent me off into a daydream about Bilbo's birthday party...

Any old excuse, huh, Rosie?

[RosieCotton]

Yeah...I know. I just wish I didn't miss her so much! If I didn't have faith it would be REALLY hard, but even WITH faith, I can't help missing her terribly. Will just take time, I guess.

[SuziQ]

I agree, Rosie. Do it to honor HER!!

[RosieCotton]

Any old excuse, huh, Rosie?

Doesn't take much, that's for sure! But I'm always dangerous when working with that sort of stuff...my brain always tries to make sense of number and letter combos and I get distracted! Anyone else find all kinds of interesting words, abbreviations and guitar models(!) in Microsoft Office codes? Oh well...so I'm easily entertained!

Now that you mention it, the pamphlet I read was produced in Stoor. And as everyone knows Stoor is often referred to as "Mordor on the Gladden Fields."

The Stoor Curious Urinal? I line my birdcage with that...

Well, I would if I had a birdcage....

I just called home and guess what I heard playing in background...............that's RIGHT!....Bilbo's birthday party. Weird huh?

[rightwingreligiousfanatic]

Now, the Khazad Dum Times Tribune, there's a source you can trust! And the Misty Mountains Gazette has some interesting features as well. But I'm not too familiar with the Gondorian periodicals.... What do you rely on?

[Overtaxed]

What are you DOING!?!? It's after 4:00pm, go home already!

I WENT home! Had to get my samples on the instrument.

Mumble, mumble, mumble, why some pointy-headed applications geek thought that an erlenmeyer flask meant pump control is beyond me!

As I recall they sprayed the Shire with DDT

I didn't know they used DDT on spiders.

Learning a new tune for my youngest jedi...

The Fair-Haired Child

[rightwingreligiousfanatic]

I didn't know they used DDT on spiders

I just said it in jest. All I know is that DDT is a pesticide. Pardon my ignorance.

[Overtaxed]

Sorry....just got off from work.

Those hobbits are in big trouble with the EPA. :)

They used DDT on mosquitoes.

Hi, grumpy hobbit-friend. I think that Elf you were bashing a couple pages back was Gil-galad. At least his weapon looked right. I'm once again in my favorite class. Who has Elf trivia to distract me with?

[rightwingreligiousfanatic]

The Shire doesn't have an EPA! The Shire doesn't need no stinkin' EPA!

[JenB]

The EPA thinks otherwise...

But I'm not too familiar with the Gondorian periodicals.... What do you rely on?

I used to read the Gondor Today, but since that hack Grima Wormtongue bought the thing it has been worse than useless, just one more liberal rag.

Now I rely on the "fair and balanced" Minas Tirith Picayune Observer. Maybe you've heard of their motto, "We report, you decide."

Two weeks this past Sunday they had a wonderful write-up on our Annual Polka Party Day. It was an A-list event. I read that Gimli even showed up this year and premiered his new "Snow Pants Polka." I heard it went over big with the Royals.

The Shire doesn't need no stinkin' EPA!

Try telling your friendly neighborhood EPA auditor that.
