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.

You sang at Uncle Seaman's funeral?

For some reason, my grandfather and his siblings all had weird names. Besides Aunts Pill and Punk we had Uncle Chiney and Uncle Mush.

yeah, there was a mayo thing.

All in all she was a great person. Her neuroses were merely closer to the surface than most of us.

Well, wasn't she also kinda weird about Mayonaise?

Howcome I got a feelin' Hair could tell funny stories about this too?

Did it ever occur to you that there's better ways to get somebody to do something you want 'em to do than torture? or is that the pirate comin' out finally?

Yes to make it weird tho, after the Navy, he spent the rest of his life working on the railroad. He bought a caboose that sat in his yard up on the banks of the river above the bridge for the main road thru town.

Life's Railway to Heaven

Life is like a mountain railroad, with an engineer that’s brave;
We must make the run successful, from the cradle to the grave;
Watch the curves, the fills, the tunnels; never falter, never quail;
Keep your hand upon the throttle, and your eye upon the rail.

Refrain

Blessèd Savior, Thou wilt guide us,
Till we reach that blissful shore;
Where the angels wait to join us
In Thy praise forevermore.

If she was such a great person........... what happened to her? If she was great, she wouldn't o' dumped you. And vice versa.

Finally??? FINALLY???

P'raps you have misinterpreted some prior comments. I have successfully pirated and ravished even lately. Just 'cuz I don't talk about it *here* doesn't mean that it ain't happening... :-) I'm not the sort to kiss and tell. :-)

There was a problem with the dog. That and some other problems were simply not fixable, by me.

A man's gotta know his limitations.
