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.

We're off to the brand new Super Walmart Grand Opening down the street in about 45 minutes! It's just around the corner from my mom's house

They're putting up a new Home Depot 5 blocks from my house..... I'm going to be in trouble when they have THAT grand opening.

True story: When they built the Home Depot near us the contractor did not lay the proper foundation for the concrete flooring. After the store had already opened, they had to close, tear down the entire building and build it over...at the contractor's expense.

And, my first question would be, "Did they have a really great clearance sale before they tore down and rebuilt!?!?!"

My question would be, did they at least get a really good deal on the materials?

In this crazy battle, who would win?

In the world of geeky fandom, that's known as a "hoodwin".

As in, "If Aragorn got into a fight with the Terminator, hoodwin?"

I obviously don't know... but at least now if I start making cryptic references to the number 42, I know you'll get them.

Unless Aragorn had access to tanker trucks full of gasoline, homemade platique, or giant stamping die-press machines, I'd have to vote for Arnold too.

Back at the library again, dropping in to say hello! Will be here for 2 to 4 hours, but will be working on other browser windows. So what's up?
