[HairOfTheDog]

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

But not yet weary are our feet...

• Second thread: The New Hobbit Hole
• Third thread: The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads! (Congratulations, we filled it up!)

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, Beneath the roof there is a bed; But not yet weary are our feet, Still round the corner we may meet A sudden tree or standing stone That none have seen but we alone. Tree and flower and leaf and grass, Let them pass! Let them pass! Hill and water under sky, Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait A new road or a secret gate, And though we pass them by today, Tomorrow we may come this way And take the hidden paths that run Towards the Moon or to the Sun. Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe, Let them go! Let them go! Sand and stone and pool and dell, Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead, And there are many paths to tread Through shadows to the edge of night, Until the stars are all alight. Then world behind and home ahead, We’ll wander back to home and bed. Mist and twilight, cloud and shade, Away shall fade! Away shall fade! Fire and lamp, and meat and bread, And then to bed! And then to bed!

[HairOfTheDog]

Well, we'll figure out something to call ya..... we already have a Pippin!

Pippin, we need a picture of ya!

Evening; the hobbit hole photo board is great; guess I'll have to find an appropriate one and send it to you. The whole layout of the hobbit hole site is excellent and easy to use, that's important for us computer luddites. :-)

[Argh]

Har!! The only picture of me (it's clothed, relax!) on the internet belongs to Miss SeaDragon, and I think she may have cleverly lost it. Oh, and Miss Coteblanche had a copy, but she's disappeared. Unless xs cleverly squirrelled one away, I think you're in luck, you won't have to look at it.

But once you go Hobbit, well....

...hobbits have better food.

[osagebowman]

Great moot pics, thanks for posting them.

Bear & Rosebear, good to see you guys.

[Wneighbor]

I dunno about that. You ain't eatin' this guacamole I'm munching right now! Gonna have a burger in a bit.

Well, we'll figure out something to call ya..... we already have a Pippin!

Dang! (scanning madly through Thain's Book)

Bucca of the Marish! There's not a Bucca already, is there?

[Wneighbor]

Thanks Master Bowman. We had a great time! Felt like old home folks. :-)

[HairOfTheDog]

I am not gonna call ya Bucca!

What is it with Tolkien folk wanting to have four names, one of which is really a phrase, not a name.

Stands, I think.

[stands2reason]

Oops! I forgot lunch! (Some kind of Hobbit I am I tells ya)

What do you mean?

[Wneighbor]

hehehe.... :-)

I did that too today! Welcome. I'll share my guac and chips with ya! And I've got 4 burgers cookin'. It's only me living here so I've got some to share! :-)

[Wneighbor]

I think SR is easier to type than Stands! LOL

[HairOfTheDog]

Are you a book fan or just a movie fan? Movie fans would only know folk had two or so names... Book fans know more.

Gandalf, Mithrandir, The Grey Pilgrim, Stormcrow, Tharkun, Incanus

Aragorn, Strider, Elessar, Estel, Thorongil....


Tolkien had a thing about everything having four names minimum.

[Wneighbor]

Hmmm... I have an excuse for multiple names now! LOL

[JenB]

I believe in many names. In fact I'm thinking of telling random strangers to call me Jen, Spammer Queen of Dooo-OOO-oom.

[Fedora]

Oh, when I said pics, I meant photos. I see some of you guys like the elf, but I was wondering about Hobbit photos or Hobbit potrayers' photos like this one:

LOL! Cool picture :)

[Lil'freeper]

Okiedokes...

This was at the 2001 inaugural ball.

[Fedora]

I don't read Heinlein's later works because my dad (whose opinion in all matters SF I regard highly) has told me they are a great disappointment, different in style, story, and content from my beloved juveniles.

Did you find that true of Stranger in a Strange Land somewhat?
