The New Hobbit Hole

[Penny1]

Yes, but men and elves together in both cases? And when more than one person has the same reaction to the same thing without it being suggested first, chances are there's a reason.... ;)

This may be why PJ wanted elves involved in Helm's Deep, a departure from the text. With this, he draws parallels between the Last Alliance and The War of the Ring and between Elrond, a leader from the time of the elves, and Aragorn the leader for the age of men.

Hello and Welcome. Warning! - Overtaxed is trouble ;~D

[ksen]

Have I got everything?

I think that about covers it. ;^)

Drive safely and have a speedy return home.

Overtaxed the troublemaker--we could just call her a Took. ;) No wonder she spends so much time in Took's corner.....oh...so do I.....

....never mind.....

Overtaxed the troublemaker--

Yep...that's me! I even make trouble on cheese threads :)

I'll just be gettin' to know you kind folks first if you please. (but I got my axe at my side)

No I hadn't, but I do find it a very dramatic moment, part of Jackson's masterful highlighting of the evil threat the Ring poses. Gandalf, afraid of nothing, jolts back as if Frodo is holding out a venomous snake.

Yes, I'm still on the map search, but I think it's over. The redrawn maps are superbly done by this Mr. Stephen Raw, much clearer with what looks like a few added "fine details", like labels of where things are, but none of that overwhelming slop that Shapiro person put into the Ballantine/DelRay books. [breathe....breathe...]

Someone posted an excellent map link on here a while back...maybe in the original hobbit hole, and I would like it again. What was the link for it? I didn't see it on the egroup bookmark list, but I just glanced at it quickly.

Good Morning! How goes the battle?

Well Denethor has been communing with the Voice of Sauron, and the VOS is PO'd, and the gallant King of Rohan is addressing his future warrior captains, but unfortunately still is heeding the voice of Wormtongue. In addition the leader of the Southrons is indisposed, and has cancelled his planned meeting with Denethor.

In other words, the same old same old. I am covered with Orc-gore, but have had my Lembas, and am hefting my Axe to hurry back!

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Welcome to the new dwarf. I hope you are up for some really heavy axework!

[Overtaxed]

Good fortune to you! Nice weather for orc hunting.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Nice weather for orc hunting.

Well, they are in plentiful supply, along with a few Uruk-Hai, and a couple of Trolls. I keep hearing rumours of a Balrog coming, but so far, so good!

[Corin Stormhands]

My axe and my heart are here. We'll see if my head and my fingers can keep up.

Thanks for the welcome.

I'll put up a mighty big fight though. I may be the elvin queen, but I am tougher than I look. :-)

Is it this one?

It's at http://membres.lycos.fr/lafee/PBcarte.html

[2Jedismom]

That's it! I have asked for two things this morning from you guys and got them both so quickly! Thank you so much! I'll make sure it's not on the bookmark list at the egroup and if it's not, I'll add it.

[Overtaxed]

I didn't add it to the egroup links.

I have this poster on my wall.

I don't know about the raisins. I don't remember anything about fruit in the lembas. I always envisioned it as my Daddy described 'teacakes'. They are like sugar cookies but lightly less sweet and less 'granular' if you know what I mean. I tried a recipe for them once and he said it was close to what he remembered as a boy. I'll look in my Mississippi Cookbook to see if I can find the recipe. Seems these keep for a while also, so that's even MORE like lembas!

Greetings, sir Dwarf! I like your screen name... are you a good one to have around in a fight? I do hope you enjoy visiting the Hobbit Hole. It can be a welcome break from the real world, or even the others parts of FR where the people are less... hobbitlike, and more quarrelsome.
