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.

He can't say much though because he feeds my obsession. He was the one who bought me a new copy of the complete trilogy after the FoTR release, the theatrical version (the same day it came out), the Extended Version (with bookends - again, the same day it came out), the Evenstar and Nenya for Christmas and the FoTR CD-Rom game for my birthday!

Now, I might could consider having a husband again if it worked like that!!!!

I think the evidence, as presented, speaks for itself!

Hey! My sneakers have a bid on them. Except the bid came from a friend on C and F and I feel bad about taking the money, especially since so many people have sent me whistles!

Welcome back, 2J!

How was WalMart?

As for the sneakers, you did the finding/carrying home of the sneakers (the hard part) so you should be awarded something for that! *grin*

Still, I hope someone I don't know outbids him! LOL

Walmart was great! They had a booth set up with a game where they gave you a bunch of cards with prices on them and if you matched so many cards correctly to the product that cost that much, then you got a prize. The more you got correct, the better prize you won! I got them all correct and the reps were shocked!! I got a cool tee shirt that says "Suave Smart Shopper" in huge pink on the back. I'll take a picture later.

Also got the boy's hair cut there and it is sooooo cute!

I have Verizon as my cell phone carrier and they send me LoTR trivia, polls, etc.

Today's retarded poll question is:

In this crazy battle, who would win?
A) Aragorn
B) The Terminator

*sigh* So instead of some great trivia, today I got this caca-poo.

Since you got all of them right, the least they should have given you was a gift card or something! LOL!

I'm a T-shirt junkie though, so if it were me, I probably would have taken the shirt anyway. ;)

Oh, and they gave me a coupon for a free portrait package, so I'm going back to have the boys picture taken right now. (I'm at moms)

More free samples! I love grand openings!

LOL I have no idea where I'll wear a tee shirt with Suave Smart Shopper huge in pink on the back...but I was still pleased that I got them all correct. I love contests, you know and loved seeing the astounded looks on their faces when I got them all right. Of course, my parents were cracking up...it embarrasses them and pleases them all at once.

See you later!

I love sweepstaking!

Yesterday, I found out that I won a year's subscription to Nintendo Power Magazine. I'm giving it to my 7 year old nephew, who just got a GameCube for Christmas.

I was going for the grand prize of course (TV, DVD player, GameCube, Home Theatre, stereo home entertainment package thing), but any win is a good win for me. I get my postage money back in spades!

At Entmoot, of course! We already know the story behind it. :)

I'm diligently trying to keep up with all that's going on here in my spare minutes. Anything good that I missed? That I NEED to be aware of?

Only comment necesary so far is.........

Okay I don't care what kind of pie it is... I want some

Whatever topping is available... I want some of all

And if there's no topping for the pie.... that's fine I'll just have extra pie.

Mostly chit-chat lately. Hair posted a nice pic from RoTK on the spoiler thread.

Other than that, have all the pie you like! And toppings too!
