The New Hobbit Hole

[HairOfTheDog]

hehehehe "Gutwakh the Squeaker" The Squeaker? - Oh I bet you got picked on all the time in orc school with a name like that!

[JenB]

Hmm... now pronounce that Elf name! It sounds more Danish than Elvish if you ask me.

[ecurbh]

I'm not a clarinet or saxophone player! How did I end up with a name like "Squeaker"?

[HairOfTheDog]

You know... maybe this is the moment when I crossed over that line, but wouldn't it be cool if hooded cloaks could become fashionable? - I would buy one! - and I think men are sexy in them, especially with a sword on his belt.

The Squeaker? - Oh I bet you got picked on all the time in orc school with a name like that!

Probably by Bâzzag the Wicked.

[HairOfTheDog]

I don't know, but I wouldn't advertise the Squeaker name in orc circles.

[Overtaxed]

I'd probably get the cloak caught in the car door more often than not.

[JenB]

Oh, yeah, ITA! Why do you think I read fantasy novels? There's just something about those cloaked, mysterious figures with a battered sword and a secret past... hmm, how could we start this fashion trend?

[HairOfTheDog]

Well, for starters, one of us needs to sew.

[JenB]

That would not be me. I can't sew. I gave it up in... oh, third grade.

2JM, can you sew? Willing to use your little jedi to make a fashion statement?

[osagebowman]

That was a cool site;

Red Book-Confused Dragon (what is with that)

Elf-Beletharan (not bad)

Hobbit-Ilberic Burrows from Gridley Island (huh?)

Dwarf-Garin Craftyarm (not bad at all)

Orc-Snikrukh the Tearer (nice play on words there)

The personality test last time had me as a dwarf so I guess ol' GC isn't too bad.

[ecurbh]

Gridley Island?? I thought they used real place names.

[Overtaxed]

There's a Gridley Island in Middle Earth?

[Corin Stormhands]

That would be where I was christened "Corin Stormhands."

[HairOfTheDog]

By the way, for those of you that were watching the Eagle Cam before, it was down for a day or two and is back up. - Unfortunately so is the branch :(

No babies yet, saw both eggses a bit ago when eagles were both up walkin around. One of them came and brought some kind of dinner to the other... I thought that was nice.

[JenB]

Oh, nice eagles!

Who's around tonight? The chat room doesn't seem to be giving any problems, at least not on my end.

[HairOfTheDog]

I am there.

[Overtaxed]

Great news about the Eagle Cam!

I tested at...

Download: 1209 kbps

Upload: 308 kbps

I wonder how much that's affected by general internet speed, though. We might have to both do it at the same on the same server for a real comparison. I think the internet runs a bit faster at night, generally, which is when I ran the test...

Cool site!

[HairOfTheDog]

Well, your download is faster than I thought DSL was, and they aren't equal either. I guess everything I thought was true isn't! - It is a cool site... I just ran it again and mine was actually slightly slower than it was earlier. It is usually in that ball-park. I was using the California server in the test.
