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.

Sorry. I come from a large family so I'm used to pushing! And Hair, do you love me MORE than OT since I don't misbehave (except when someone posts certain photos that require medicine doses)?? :)

Let me echo what you said G'nad.

Since we're gettin all mushy...

It's been an interesting year, full of ups and downs... but through it all, one thing has remained constant... the hospitality and friendship that I have found here... Thank you all very, very much... God bless you all...

Merry Christmas...

Donner

Did he tell you I've been naughty all year and all I'm getting is a sack of coal?

Red isn't my color!

I have refrained from posting my reaction to TTT.

I'm afraid I would shatter PJ's movie as badly as he has shattered the story that Tolkein created in my imagination.

Of the many scenes that brought a lump and a tear in the book only two were present for me in the movie. When Shadowfax answered Gandalf's summons and Sam's speach at the end.

Would still like to hear your reaction to the movie...

(I notice you're in Tennessee? So I'm not the lone TN Hobbit Holer?)

Where in the state do you call home?

We're about an hour west of Nashville - the heart of elf country! They're predicting snow here too. Hoorah!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

And here's to hoping that all of us FReepers find that Bilbo Claus has left lots of Preciouses under our trees!

Gimli

Gimli Gloin's son

If I were a character in The Lord of the Rings, I would be Gimli, Dwarf, handy with an axe when orcs are about.

In the movie, I am played by John Rhys-Davies.

Who would you be?

Treebeard was not an option. (sigh)
