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

[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.

No Plane On Sunday
by Jimmy Buffett and Michael Utley

You can throw your luggage down
Lose your cool and stamp around
But there's nothin, nothin you can do
Wipe away your girlfriend's tears
Go to the bar and have some beers
There ain't no way the bird's gettin through

No plane on Sunday
Maybe be one come Monday
Just a hopeless situation
Make the best of it's all you can do
till they get through

Overheard the engineer
Say somethin' 'bout the landing gear
Now we're runnin' strictly on island time
I know you got someone back home
So do I it's tough alone
Awh come on, it's just a minor crime

No plane on Sunday
Check it again come Monday
Just a hopeless situation
Make the best of it's 'bout all you can do
Baby it's true

We shouldn't spend these precious hours tryin' to figure this out
We don't know where the story ends
Let's don't go back to just being friends

So they went walkin' on the beach
Quarter moon within their reach
So they stole it and tucked it in their hearts

That's when they heard the engines hum
And realized the dawn had come
It was over, over from the start

No plane on Sunday
Just another lonely Monday
Awh make the best of a bad situation's
'Bout all you can do
Baby it's true

Oh-oh-oh-oh baby it's true
Oh-oh-oh-oh baby what's new
Oh-oh-oh-oh baby what's new

Aren't too many really cool ones left.

The good old days are over and we have nothing else to look forward to?

[ecurbh]

I can't breathe until you tell me what plan "B" is!

BREATHE!! We don't want ya passing out!

Just did a quick check and it looks like the cheapest right now is Frontier Airlines for about $250. They have an early flight that would get to SEA at 10:15.

my tax rebate is being mailed out on Friday....

That's hugh, ksen!! I'm series!

I'm looking forward to implosion...and a fresh page! Kind of like getting fresh new notebooks at the beginning of school. I always liked that.

[Corin Stormhands]

Mine won't be mailed until August 8th, but it'll help with post vacation groceries (and a few other things).

I'm wonderin' if I could change my tax return to list my wife first? Her number would always be in the first group.

'Course if I did that and they ever did this again they'd prolly just issue 'em in reverse order.

Good morning...

I'm beginning to think I shouldn't have updated my prediction... let everyone think it was going to be the 14th, so we could surprise them when it happened earlier, heh heh...

[ecurbh]

let everyone think it was going to be the 14th

At least we should have done that to a (ahem) certain Gondorian.

The Letter
(Wayne Carl Thompson)

Give me a ticket for an airplane
I ain't got time to catch a fast train
Lonely days are gone, Imma going home
My baby just wrote me a letter

Well she wrote me a letter said she couldn't live without me no more
Listen mister can't you see I gotta get back to my baby once more, anyway

Give me a ticket for an airplane
I ain't got time to catch a fast train
Lonely days are gone, Imma going home
My baby just wrote me a letter

I don't care how much money I gotta spend
I gotta get back to my baby again
Lonely days are gone, Imma going home
My baby just wrote me a letter

Well she wrote me a letter said she couldn't live without me no more
Listen mister can't you see I gotta get back to my baby once more, anyway

~THUD~

[ksen]

That's hugh, ksen!! I'm series!

The IRS was vey spefic when they said 8/1 was the mailing date. ;^)

[ecurbh]

You OK there? I keep hearing a ~THUD~.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Sorry to hear about your daughter's knee... the ACL is the Anterior Cruciate Ligament, one of four ligaments that stabilize the knee joint. Blowing it out generally causes a lot of swelling and discomfort; the swelling can make it difficult to tell the extent of the injury, which is why doctors like to wait a couple of days before doing an MRI. Once the swelling goes down a little it becomes easier to see the damage on the MRI. Depending on what they see there they may or may not recommend surgery.

Best wishes to her for a full recovery!

She has the bass on her stereo turned up too high.......actually, CAN bass be turned too high? ;^)

[ecurbh]

Sounds like it goes to "11"
