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.

I'm temptedAre you sure that's the edition with the maps you want? If you have the ISBNs, check them against those books on Ebay.

I am going to bed - I will see your pics in the morning then? - they haven't arrived yet!

"When I reacted to him saying "shut up" my wife informed me he heard it from me yelling at the dog to stop barking."Ever seen A Christmas Story?
"And do you know where he heard that word?"
"Probably from his father!"

My uncle's sister's kid (follow that?) ... when she was little she and her folks were at church one morning. She was getting restless and started making noise and they told her to be quiet and behave because the Bishop was visiting and she had to be on her best behavior. She said angrily, "That bastard Bishop!"
And of course it was really loud and when it was quiet LOL. I only heard the story...really wish I could have been there!
To: Dawntreader
Oh NOOO!! LOL
I have got to go to bed. Good night everyone.
To: 2Jedismom
"Good night everyone."I just got here! :-( Actually I need to get to bed too. I'm really tired right now...don't know why I'm still up! Have a good night!
To: 2Jedismom
I have that very edition. I recommend it, it also has the complete appendices (history of middle-earth as Tolkien wrote it), maps and geneologies. It's the whole package, including a forward by both Tolkien and his son.
I paid more than that for it.
To: HairOfTheDog
Hey there...
You're right about kids being little tape recorders. My understanding is that E has already ratted out H and me for weekends at the beach... to the pastor at church. This is Wisconsin synod Lutheran. They're so stuffy they bring you in for counseling if you bring your own bible into church, or [gasp] sing a song that isn't in the hymnal.
I wouldn't be surprised if he was related to pastor Inkvest. :-)
[sigh] What price for a good Lutheran elementary school? hehehe...
To: Ramius
Heh.... Remember the weekend that "what's his name" was called "Logan" all weekend? - I was thinkin' ahead!
To: no one in particular
OK - I am gonna go try the bed thing again. Good night!
To: Corin Stormhands
jumpy as Signs It was the first movie in a long, long time that had people in the theater screaming at the surprises. Great fun!
To: HairOfTheDog
Mornin!
It's cooooold today in the Mid-Atlantic. I washed my truck yesterday so it will surely snow this week.
To: Lil'freeper

To: Lil'freeper

To: Overtaxed

To: Lil'freeper; RMDupree

Ever seen A Christmas Story? A most funny movie! A couple of years ago we used a "leg lamp" as a prop in our Christmas production...
To: Overtaxed
