The Hobbit Hole IV – The Road Goes Ever On…

Posted on 08/04/2003 9:43:18 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

The Road Goes Ever On…

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

I will agree with all your evaluation of Glorfindel and Haldir Master Dwarf. Astute observation.

If you think it was wrong, and you didn't do anything, don't you think the lawyers would hang your tail?

What a great thing to stress to them. They really need to consider the real world when they're designing.

for a Spartan to lose his shield was the greatest of dishonors... for the shield was meant to protect the men around him... there is an account of a young Spartan returning without his shield and his mother killing him...

*snif*

If no one can go in the pool anyway, "Don't Go Near theWater" is a good theme!

Absolutely. That's why I mentioned the Elves must be carrying itty bitty ones. So they can run away and still come home with a shield.

no she-elf would stain her hands with her son's blood... she-elves are made of stout stuff, but they are compassionate...

Well, what I want to stress to 'em is that those things they send out to customers are bein' worked with by other folks with spouses and kids that need their daddy or mama to come home safe every night. Sometimes that's hard to get across to techie types. (oops.... that's what we pretty much all are here.... but i think all of us know what i mean)
