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.

Gondor has no UN. Gondor needs no UN

But Gondor doesn't have jurisdiction over Iraq. They're clearly in Far Harad somewhere.

I thought it sounded like a good idea too.

There's a pessimist in any group, isn't there!

Check this out:

Click the WSJ Logo link above... and scroll down to the article: "The Web Gets a Scoop". It is about LeadPenny's thread for shuttle watchers that reported first that something was wrong with Columbia yesterday.

I saw that earlier... it's kinda sad, but a real testimony to the powers of the internet.

Funny thing is, the poem I posted yesterday, "Green Hills of Earth"? I've found it about a half dozen places today, people talking about the crash. Sometimes a million people think of the same thing at the same time. But this one is the nicest I've seen...

Yes, I saw that poem posted all over the place yesterday too. It fits.

It's comforting to know when things like that happen there are so many others caring at the same time.
