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.

English, huh? I hope they don't make him lose the accent!

In case someone hasn't answered about the new Billy Boyd movie, (I'm just beginning to make my way through the posts!) the name is "Master and Commander" and it stars Russell Crowe. I don't think Billy will need to change the accent because this takes place during the Napoleanic Wars, and involves the British Empire going up against France. There were guys from all over, men caught by press gangs as well as holdover Royalist Americans who fought with the British during that war.

"Lots more relatives turn up..."

That's what's happening around here, it's one of the minuses about living in Miami in the winter time.

Note to all.... OT lives 100 miles or more from Kinston....

But it is a big explosion, and I wonder if mad scientists mixed the wrong beakers together.

Well that's good to know. I would have felt pretty bad if she were really involved in the explosion and I'm sitting around making squirrelly jokes.

Just saw this on a local TV news website...

A man who lives near the plant said the blast sent debris into the air and that a wooded area behind the West Pharmaceutical plant was on fire. He said "the whole sky is black." A hospital spokeswoman said three people are in critical condition with burns and more victims are expected. The cause of the explosion at the plant is unclear.
