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.

Well...I'm rarely there unless I'm looking for something specific like whistle and tune recommendations.
To: 2Jedismom
Go to C and F and see if you think Dale is kinda trashing me? I refered to the counting of hiakus in beats and it seems like he kinda trashed me...Well...I admit I kinda bristled at that "as taught in schools" bit. What is he trying to say there, I wonder? In any case, your response was good. Liked the article you linked to, too. And Matthew's haiku as well. ;-)

Dang! Now I have to go back into rehab.
To: Overtaxed
The thing is, I really don't know what I'm talking about, but Matthew's curriculum referred to it as beats...not syllables and he kinda trashed that...like I didn't know what I was talking about and very likely shouldn't be teaching. Big old tub of rotten rancid lard.
To: RosieCotton
See 7964
To: 2Jedismom
Maybe you should tell him he's intolerant of Japanese culture. :)
It looks to me that the "beat" thing somes from the Japanese and the "syllable" is a Western interpretation. Since haiku is Japanese to begin with, go with "beats."
To: Overtaxed
It still can't compare to the nightmare that was NaNoWriMo, though...

"Somes" should be "comes", but I guess you figured that out. :)
To: Overtaxed
Yes...that is what I deduced. And kinda gave him an out with that...but still maintain that teaching Matthew beats was ok.
Let's see how the old ball of slime responds.
To: RosieCotton
Speaking of which, I'm entertaining thoughts of revising the crap....new and improved crap!
To: 2Jedismom
You could always tell hiim to blow it out his shorts.
To: rightwingreligiousfanatic
Where can I get one of those?
To: Overtaxed
One of my brother's friends has bugged me for months to let him read my crap, and I finally gave in as he was driving me up the wall...so I'm about to be reminded of how crappy the crap is...

To: Overtaxed; RosieCotton
Did you two finish the goal? I didn't :-P
To: RosieCotton
Just remind him that you told him so. I thought I'd bring my fragmented crap into a more unified piece of crap.
To: RosieCotton
That song really does stick in your head doesn't it?

(HHD - why did I have to Google it?)
To: Dawntreader
We made the word count, but I'm not claiming much more than that. :)
To: Dawntreader; Overtaxed; JenB
Did you two finish the goal? I didn't :-P Yeah, we finished, and so did JenB - she finished by about week 2...
But the end result isn't exactly quality, to say the least, in my case, anyway!

You don't know how tempting it is!
To: Overtaxed
I reminded him that the only goal was word count, and he seemed to understand the implications...that it might be TRULY crappy, and not just false modesty on my part...
