The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!

Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Journey to the Cross-roads

The Two Towers Edition

Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)

Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

I think, maybe, don't be too careful about fat, except for artificial fats like the transfats. *redhead* knows alot about fat, and protein, if you would want to ask her, or visit her profile page, which can direct you to her worthwhile and interesting homepage.

You know...

I'm feeling a little "white knuckled". Where are all our troops? I mean, we are still protected here at home, aren't we?

I think the same...there are instances in ancient Roman history when the Celts defeated expeditionary Roman armies, leaving Rome temporarily at great risk.

However, I believe that our assets in the Middle East represent a minority of our destructive capability, so everything should be OK.

And I doubt anyone has the capability to mount a real offensive very quickly against our homeland anyway, not involving armies, at least.

Good night, All.

We're as well-protected as we ever were. Our military was never configured for domestic protection, but to take the fight to the enemy. Trust in God, yourself, your neighbors, and the local cops, in that order.

I'm white-knuckled too, because we have tanker-loads of whup-ass ready to unload, and I want to see it go to the most deserving.

Have you two heard anything about a big protest taking place in downtown Seattle tomorrow? I got a notice on it at work, sounds like they will be marching from Seattle Central Community College(Capitol Hill) to Westlake Center (downtown).

Have either of you heard anything about this? And Hair, if you were thinking of coming into Seattle tomorrow, I'd recommend you choose a different day! :o

I heard something on the radio about it today...but only vaguely. I suspect they'll be all over the freeway, again.

Boy, these guys know how to hack people off, don't they? Not exactly endearing people to their cause, seems to me...

Well, I hear on the news how this many, and that many troops from Oklahoma have been deployed and I think "Hey, you know...I wish you'd stick around...I feel safe with you here!"

Steve said it never entered his mind the other day at that rally, but it's the first time since 9/11 I've been in a crowd that large...I was nervous.

Going to bed. Good night, my FRiends.

Hi everybody!! Thanks for the warm welcome! It's going to take me a while to figure this place out...if I ever do! It seems to be a LARGE site. But I really like what I've seen so far. You all are my kind of folks! As to those are going to send me pings, feel free to! I'm not sure how they work yet, but I'll eventually get it. If anyone is posting to me, or sending me private messages, or pings, and it takes me a while to respond, please be patient, I'm just trying to understand all that I'm seeing here. And yes, I am a LOTR fan!

2J, loved your avatar!! Only problem was, I had to stand up and take my hat off immediately when I hit "play."

As you can see from these posts, rugerman to rugerman, I have a lot to learn here. I don't know how I'm doing that.

Just in time for The Great Race. Hope I don't fall asleep before the pie fight!

There was a pie fight? I fell asleep somewhere after the boardroom scene and woke up just west of Chicago. So I gave up.

I did not finish the race.

Good Morning! Rainy, but warmer here today.

Probably get all the Europeans in a snit.

Most Europeans are full of snit.
