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 can only hope! All I can do is think the thoughts and hope my subconscious "runs with it".

And it took them over 3 hours to post on their tracking system that it had been delivered at all! ARRRGGHHH!

Corin - I've heard that it has happened to a lot of folks. In other instances, the UPS/FEDEX guy puts the letter under the doormat and doesn't leave a note.

A fellow sweepstaker didn't realize he had won a grand prize (cruise for 2) for almost a month! When he moved his doormat, he saw a moldy wet letter from UPS and had to call the sponsor and beg for the prize. Fortunately, the sponsor had mercy on him and did reissue the winning prize! WHEW!

He looks really good with the tree and the bush! - Like a scene out of the shire!

I wish my camera was working!

Thank you so much Ruthy!

YEAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!! He has arrived safely!

He might get lonely by himself in the plants, Hair. Be sure to keep him safe at night when Black Riders are about. :)

He doesn't have that freaky "Ring influence" look on his face, does he?

Oh that's funny!

Speaking of which, I am going to check my snail mail! You never know, there may be a whistle in there!

You are most welcome! It is the very least I could do!

Hope you can get a pic to share with us!

That one is for me. I'll get him as soon as I can! *grin*

No silly! - He does look a bit concerned! But I will comfort him!

Ramius, check out the life size Frodo that RMDupree bought for me! - He is in my living room by the plants!

Wouldn't you rather have a standee of Aragorn making cow eyes at the (absent) Arwen?

Well, he looks pretty cool. But if Sting starts to turn blue, don't stop to ask questions...

Hey, Ruthie, any chance of you sending me a life-sized circa-1963 Sophia Loren?

OK, OK, I'm leaving...

Oh no.... But I wouldn't mind having a Strider Standee guarding the gate!

The opportunities would be limitless with the Legolas standee but the dwarf is in the way!

If Sting starts to turn blue, Hair will tuck Frodo under her arm, saddle Bay and run for the hills with Fatty Lumpkin trailing behind!
