The New Hobbit Hole

[RMDupree]

It's better that way. Then I can't cry that I am "offended" later on. :)

Or worse yet, a stinky ol' dwarf will make up a name for me that will not be near as nice!

[RosieCotton]

No....I'd better not say it.

Oh, c'mon! Can't be THAT bad!

Can it?

[Sam Cree]

Thanks for the mushrooms, I love them with eggs (or anything else, for that matter).

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Everyone is going as an elf, correct?

Au Contraire! (Elves would speak French, right?)

The Internal Auditor's husband will be going as Aragorn. We'll undoubtedly have dwarves, Gandalfs, Sarumans, hobbits, Riders of Rohan, Gondorians, Orcs, maybe a Ringwraith or two, Saurons and, who knows, maybe even an Ent will show up! The people who throw this party go all out.

[Overtaxed]

Something along the line that they'll all be staring down their noses at each other, running short of Metamucil, having light loafers, and their butts being too big.

[Overtaxed]

I thought French was the Black Speech. :)

LOL! A room full of skivvie-less Haldirs!

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Elves have big butts?

Oh God, don't tell my wife.

[RosieCotton]

LOL! A room full of skivvie-less Haldirs!

Heaven forbid!

But that's not the way it goes...Men of Gondor (and some dwarves) go skivie-less...elves, on the other hand, wear nothing BUT skivies. (Or pajamas.)

"my wife is starting to give me the "get a life" look "

Yeah, mine too, but I think she likes it better than when I hang out with the guys from the fishing club.

She may think the Hole is a little weird, but OTOH, I think she likes a little weirdness, since she married me.

Yeah, I wan't to get in a little better shape, I'm almost where I want to be weight wise, but need to get a little harder. I'm not so ambitious that I'm going to live in the gym or anything, just want to do a little better than I am.

I hope to see the pictures when you post em!

My friend who will be making my elven cloak for the premiere was here this weekend, and I think she knows now what it needs to look like!

Some of the people at work dress up for Halloween. They usually state a theme, which is encouraged, but not required...this year it's Star Trek. How boring is that? I mean, I refuse to come as one of the main characters, and there aren't many background characters that are interesting (or easy to pull off without extensive makeup / masks). So I don't know if I'll bother. Might could come as a generic "red shirt", I guess.

[rightwingreligiousfanatic]

OK, sorry, I got confused (dwarf trait you know). So elves do wear skivvies. That gives me a little more respect for them, because this is one dwarf who wears skivvies as well. Hmmmmmm, things are never quite as clear-cut as one would like, are they?

[RMDupree]

I know exactly how both you and Vim feel.

When I told my husband about the entmoot or about something funny that I read in the Hobbit Hole that day, he used to say "that's nice" or something to that effect.

Now, he comes right out and says: "You do realize that you are becoming one of those book geeks, don't you?" or "Why do have to talk about these people like you know them or something? You've never met a single one of those people from the internet, they could all be weirdos for all you know!"

Honestly, I've stopped discussing my daily Hobbit adventures with him. I'm sure his own curiousity will get the better of him and sooner or later HE will ask ME what's going on with all of us "book geeks" and "weirdos". :)

I will respond "Nothing that someone as COOL as YOU would care about!"

[RosieCotton]

Just remember..."Gondor has no skivvies...Gondor NEEDS no skivvies".

I think the stinky dwarf may be the only skivvie-less dwarf, so that may be pretty clear-cut.

Dress up as a hobbit and tell them you are a short, well-fed Romulan. ;^)

My wife and kids like hearing about the goings on here in our cozy little hobbit hole.

Every now and then I try to encourage my wife to register and check in so she can get to know everyone. No such luck yet.

Whenever we view/chat my daughter likes to follow along until I chase her off to bed.

[ItsOurTimeNow]

Elf-Jammies? How cool!

I know exactly how both you and Vim feel.

I'm glad and relieved to hear you say that RM. It's nice to know I'm not the only one here with some issues in that area.

I haven't even mentioned entmoot to her, yet. She would really think I've gone off the deep end. That's why I say it's iffy. But with a year to work on her, she might come around to accepting it. I've actually got her reading the trilogy again (she read it once many years ago) so keep your fingers crossed.

BTW, our Oracle system is down, so I have a little reprieve for a while - that's why I've been able to keep posting here for a bit. If I vanish into thin air, you will know the elves (and they are elves, Hair) have summoned me!
