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.

I think that the groundhog is one of our cutest and most bizarre customs.

Thanks. I cheated and only read the posts starting with the news yesterday morning. Did I miss anything else?

Well, Hair had to do some cosmetic surgery on Frodo... see post 11324 for details.

If he DIDN'T see his shadow, then we'd only have a month and a half of winter left!

RE #11324

Gee, how many things were wrong with those three sentences, anyway?

About twenty?

Corin & G'nad: check out post #125 on Hair's RoTK spoiler thread. MBY found a great article on archery in FoTR & TTT, she posted the link there. And yes, you can bring your ax, a lot of english bowmen carried axes; you can too.

When I lived in Upper Michigan, winter routinely lasted until about mid-April anyway, so I never understood the whole groundhog thing.

But I'd be in shirt sleeves in three weeks...

... see post 11324 for details.

Does that type of surgery really work? Not that I need to know or anything...

Once the glue set up, he was much sturdier than her was before!
