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.

Corin, was I too late in mentioning mine?

No. I'm still editing. Thanks for including it.

Well, it does look like you picked the most nice, normal looking representatives from the hole to introduce your wife to first! That was good thinking! But you know, I bet we are all that good.

Yep, it was a blast. I can just imagine how Entmoot will be!

Oh and LOL...after I left I had to go to the grocery store for a few things. I saw a Cub Foods right next to the mall so I ran in there. I was breezing down the aisle when all of a sudden ecurbh rounded the corner! It was pretty funny!

And it was pointed out to me by Dawn that Merry's gash changed sides when they enter Fangorn.

Gash ping!

Great shots of the minimoot!

I can't imagine that the makeup people (or DOM) could spend an hour making that gash and then forget which side it is on from day to day. Do you think that for whatever reason, they flipped the negative?

What character from LoTR do you identify most with?

It's a tie between Legolas and Smeagol.

Yes, we forgot to eat, and we forgot to take pictures.

[shrugs!]

Next time we will, whether we get together to ride, shoot, or maybe someplace to eat where I can give you the new cookies!

Of course there was a little bit of hesitancy and uncertainty in relating to semi-strangers at first,

Yes, I certainly felt that. But I think now that my first meeting with other freepers is over, the next one will be a bit easier. And now I'm really looking forward to the big event next year!

Yes, I think Susan is completely mollified now. She still takes it all with a grain of salt, I think, but at least she now realizes the harmless and fun-loving nature of it all. And she was impressed by the musical leanings of both ecurbh and DT. ecurbh plays the same instrument Will does! Trombone...

Gash? What gash?

This was the first time I noticed the inconsistency with the gash clearly too. I forgot to look for it the second time I saw the movie. Today was just my third time...

I also think I saw PJ as one of the wild men for the first time, as well as identifying his children in Helm's Deep....

Hi there! Welcome to the Hobbit Hole (we gotta clean up our act, folks!) I'll tell my daughter that you've signed on. She loves the Hobbit Hole and sometimes has interesting responses, but she's not sure she should post them!
