The New Hobbit Hole

[Corin Stormhands]

I have been talking to the world's biggest grump.

I thought you weren't on the religion threads? ;-)

I saw your post #5 on the other thread. Good advice. I'm old, can I ditch the computer and enjoy the summer too?

Sorry for unloading a rant on everyone this fine morning.

Don't apologize Kevin (but if your buying coffee...).

We need more rants like that. It's time we lived up to the "if your not for us, you're against us" statement and kicked some serious butt.

Let me call it. Screw with the U.S. and you're cockroach food.

(We watched Ocean's Eleven this weekend, along with Harry Potter on DVD)

I think there is a major difference in the enemy. Pearl Harbor was attacked by a definable government coming from a particular place. There was no question who we were fighting. This time around, we are being attacked by a nebulous enemy with no borders, no ID cards and no uniform. Who the enemy actually is, and the definition of victory, depends on who you ask, and there is no one person who can declare it to be over and surrender. We are fighting an ethos not a country.

Why HOTD, that sounds positively Gandalfian

You like that? hehehe

Yes, but there are days when I think we just didn't finish the job with the Crusades...

How very un-PC of me, but it's the way I feel sometimes.

Good morning! Thanks for the news update. I've been working and reading, not much else. I'm not a vampire hobbit, actually I'm around less in the evenings now. How much longer til TT?

My daughter managed to cheer me up some, she bought me an early Father's Day present: the FoTR soundtrack. I'm listening right now at work ;^) (sounds like Sam may be drowning right about now, no wait! Frodo just reached down to save him, whew!)

My wife found the "bonus content" on the CD and thought it was really neat. She said she wants to get the TTT soundtrack as soon as it comes out. I think I've just about turned her into a Tolkienphile, the kids already are. ;^)

Well, back to my desk, talk to ya in a bit.

We use my son's Playstation 2 for a DVD player right now. But we have an old-vcr that he knocked off the shelf, so we plan to replace it with a DVD player for the family.

But I have to write a check for the siding today, so it won't happen anytime soon.

Well, back to my desk, talk to ya in a bit.

Oh, looking at the numbers, I don't think you're going very far...

[Overtaxed]

How much longer til TT?

197 days, 15 hours, 33 minutes, 49 seconds and counting....

[Corin Stormhands]

And nine posts...

[JenB]

And how many more posts until the OO?

[Corin Stormhands]

Is there a link to an online countdown clock?

[Overtaxed]

Sneaking are we?

[Corin Stormhands]

Ah, we are not alone...

[Corin Stormhands]

Face it, we're ALL sneaking...

[Corin Stormhands]

Who will get it?

[Corin Stormhands]

Somehow we thinks only Corin is going for it honestly...;-)

[JenB]

Please?
