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.

So, Corin, I think your observations are on target even for this little classroom. The Ninnies is Our Name People also called for college students to skip class today...guess your folkses didn't get the word?

(Open war is upon you. Whether you risk it or not.)
To: ksen; g'nad
g'nad would probably say the same thing.
To: Wneighbor
Yeah, steak and taters are definitely "feel better" food.
To: Sam Cree
Sam, my problem is I was born of parents in a heavy ranching area and all we got was beef (or anything wild or hunted - venison, javalina, wild turkeys and fish.) By the time anybody tried to feed me chicken I just really didn't care much for it. I eat it when somebody gives it to me because that's the polite thing to do. But, it just doesn't taste much like food.
To: ksen
Well, I can really only speak for my family and what I see as reactions on the spanish speaking news stations. For the most part, Cubans are die-hard Republicans (made even more so after the Elian debacle).
It's safe to say that about 90%+ of the exiles are in favor of war, with the other 10% being a little more cautious of retaliation or else resentful that Castro is still around and want him eliminated before anyone else.

The Ninnies is Our Name People also called for college students to skip class today...guess your folkses didn't get the word? Well, I'm surprised because that one little chickie has only made it to 2 classes out of 6 so far. But, judging by her reactions to my comments she probably should have been on that skip list.
To: RMDupree
Thanks for thinking of the steak for feel better food for me. It's time for me to pick up Myranda now. I'm going to continue my Nyquil rest after that. I don't have afternoon or evening classes today so I can sleep till church.

Thanks Ruthy.

To: g'nad; Overtaxed
I know "Negatory, good buddy" from
So I Married an Axe Murderer. I still use that now and again.
So it was 25 cookies then? I got that handled NO PROBLEM. :-P
I've told myself I won't make myself sick on those stinking Girl Scout cookies today!
To: HairOfTheDog
Glad you are feeling better Hair! I hope you are still feeling better today :-D
To: Lil'freeper
YES...Macs are the best. But I game way too much so I have a PC for that. I would love to get a Mac laptop though for everything else.
To: g'nad
Oooooooo!!!! That's terrible! LOL
To: Dawntreader
heh heh heh... yeah... I know...
To: RMDupree
Yeah, Ruthy, I've always thought that the exile community, having fled communism, was about as politically conservative as you could get. But reading the Miami Herald, which I regard as a force for the Left, and following other English speaking media, you'd think all that was in the past, and that Cubans are becoming liberals. The fact that baby face Penelas gets elected reinforces that impression.
However, I could hardly believe it was true.
My wife and I were on the road for 9/11, as we drove into Miami the day after, down U.S. 1, it was a sight for sore eyes to see the Cubans in the street waving American flags, even into the night. Very emotional.
To: Wneighbor
Yeah, me too, on the beef, I love it the best, after venison. Still like chx, though, we had them on the place too.
To: Sam Cree
Alex Penelas gets re-elected everytime simply because of the Democrat machine. I know very few Cubans that really like Penelas. He'll be gone the next time around.
He's squishy spined, that's a fact.

"Hobbit Fan Trailer":-( !! I can't get that link to load here at work and my comp is still a piece of crap at home so I'll have to wait to see this one!
To: BibChr
"That's "Dragonslayer"; I didn't see any Willow."I loved Dragonslayer...
Dang it! I want to see that trailer!
To: rugerman
Welcome to FR and the Hobbit Hold rugerman! :-D
Sorry I'm late welcoming you, but I'm catching up on posts!
To: Dawntreader
Yeah, Dragonslayer wasn't bad. Did you see last summer's dragon movie? What was it called...?
