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.

Did you do that from memory?

LOL, no. I copied it from a website. Here's a few more:

T. Eliot, top bard, notes putrid tang emanating, is sad. I'd assign it a name: gnat dirt upset on drab pot-toilet.

No, Mel Gibson is a casino's big lemon.

Do good? I? No! Evil anon I deliver. I maim nine more hero-men in Saginaw, sanitary sword a-tuck, Carol, I -- lo! -- rack, cut a drowsy rat in Aswan. I gas nine more hero-men in Miami. Reviled, I (Nona) live on. I do, O God!

Are we not drawn onward, we few, drawn onward to new era?

Cigar? Toss it in a can. It is so tragic.

Hmm... OK, you got me there. I think there's an "unless" missing there or something.

LOL or it could be that you're always freeping from a bar!

No, that would have nothing to do with it - would it?

Of courshnot. I can shtype without shlurrying.

Well, OK, it's still early.

My bar-freeping days are coming to an end here pretty soon though. I just signed a lease for an apartment nearby the office, to be my mid-week crashpad. Once I get DSL I'll be able freep from there...

Will you be the same? Where will you pirate? You cannot pirate from a crashpad!

or are you following your sister into a backgammon habit?

Then they left again.

I'm back for a few minutes. Luke is snacking. I've got some paperwork I have to finish tonite, so I'll probably try to avoid that by playing here...

What I want to do is finish the Harry Potter book. Lil' and Jen - just finished the meeting at the pub...

Evening all.

Rose; Something like 'beware, the drarves' a battle cry, often the last thing the orc hears before the 'swoosh' of the ax.

Good day on the turnpike - as usual kept my eye peeled for rare and/or exotic plants and wildlife whilst tromping up and down the slopes peering in culverts and taking measurements on streams. But the really good part was finding an almost perfect vise-grip, a nearly new roll of electric tape and a new cargo strap. How's that g'nad?

The downside was Samantha sniffing me with 'where the heck have you been' a shower took care of that. Also no ticks, all in all an excellent day.

Been a lot of spamming I see with a few good pictures, yup, she got feet.
The haircut looks good. The pony cam is up and running, excellent.

Welcome back, Wneighbor, seems 100 degrees do dry out your garden.

Corin, my sympathies for joining the freepless at work bunch. Try lurking at noon, that's generally available, least ways when you're in the office and not dueling with trolls.

And we need to take Samantha for the walk.
