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.

Naw...people trawl for these things...I would never have afforded it. But I did bid as high as I would...$10.55. Ha! I had the highest bid for only a minute or two. Then Ava bid.
I had to try.
To: Overtaxed
Up to $21.27 now...in just the last 45 minutes...it was $9.95 when I first found it.

I wish I knew how to play a musical instrument of any kind. Glen's a very good drummer so it would be so cool to be able to play along with him. :(
I used to be a fairly decent singer, but lack of practice really takes a toll on any ability.

To: RMDupree; rightwingreligiousfanatic
Maybe RWRF would sell you his whistle? He switched to the recorder.
Then you could give it a try...
To: 2Jedismom; rightwingreligiousfanatic
I'd love to try!
Hey Vim, how much for the whistle? *grin*

To: 2Jedismom
Heh.... I could send her mine! - I love owning it, I just have not the talent, nor have I had the time to overcome lack of talent with practice!
To: RMDupree
The bad news is, it is such crummy weather out today, that I doubt the UPS guy is gonna be wearing shorts when he comes.
To: HairOfTheDog
Sure, send it to her! Send her the booklet and disk I made too...
To: 2Jedismom; RMDupree
Ruthy, If you want to try it, I would love to send you the whistle and comprehensive instructions that 2J gave to me!
2J had faith in me that I did not deserve! - I never got the hang of it. It just squeaks when I blow in it. Course, I played trumpet for 6 years, and they tell me I am blowing too hard. ;~D
I would be happy to have one more whistling hobbit in the Shire to admire!
To: HairOfTheDog
In some cases that I've seen, that could be a GOOD thing. *shudder*

He switched to the recorder.Oh yeah.....that..... uh, well, ummmm, you see.....it's like this.....I'm too darn lazy to practice anything lately, so the only whistling I really feel comfortable with is with my lips.... Must get back to that recorder sometime....
RM, if you want my tin whistle and promise to use it I will send it to you free of charge with the book and everything. email me at vimbronzehand@yahoo.com with your info and I will get it in the mail to you.... Better to be used than gathering dust like it is right now....;^)
To: HairOfTheDog
I'd love to give it a try. At the very least, it would give me an opportunity to annoy the heck out of Glen and Becky, which is a quite delightful thought!!
You can send it COD, if you prefer. I'll cover the cost of shipping, just let me know what you want for it.

Hmmmm...
I have never seen an unattractive UPS man. I think it is the job qualifications that they look good in shorts!
To: rightwingreligiousfanatic; HairOfTheDog; 2Jedismom
When it rains, it pours!
I'd definitely use it. The question is, which of you between Hair and Vim, is more willing to relinquish custody? LOL!!!

No, I would be happy to send it as a present!
I will toss it in with the next round of cookies! I have a much better recipe now.
To: HairOfTheDog
Unfortunately, I have seen a few UPS men that need to be covered in a burqa!
One in particular had SHAVED legs sooo skinny and frosty white that it looked like two bleached toothpicks tottering along. UGH!!
The guys I have now are fabulous. Very funny and very nice looking.
