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.

Yeah, sealing the house doesn't seem to make a lot of sense for us either. The dog stays inside most of the time, but still he's got to go out occasionally.

Eeeeeek. Really. He is not the same species as me.
To: Corin Stormhands
But since he's 13 1/2, I'm not sure I need to encourage the hubba hubba part... It is a funny Saturday afternoon movie. Perhaps rent it sometime. And I don't think your encouragement or lack of encouragement is gonna stop Junior from noticing hubba hubba at this point. ;~D

I've been paranoid for years. It's a hold-over from my wild '80s experience, I think!

See post #13932. I believe in being prepared, but I think that an actual attack may be the least of our worries.
To: ksen
No! - Ahnold doesn't repulse me, he is beautiful! - But he looks like a magnificent stallion I may breed a mare to, not a person!
To: rightwingreligiousfanatic
I think part of being prepared is so you can help others as well as just yourself....That should be a very important part of any plan. Also, if I'm prepared, I'm not out there clamoring for salvation along with all the other unprepared. This lessens the load of those trying to help.
Also, by staying home, I can keep an eye out for the predators who think they will have easy pickin's. I survived the Detroit riots of 1967 and 1968. I've seen what happens when even a tiny percentage of the people think that law and order has vanished, never to return. There aren't enough police and military to protect everyone in a situation like that. In fact, many of the "good guys" who are there to protect us will be worring about their own families.
The point is, we are responsible for our own safety, despite government assurances that they will do it for us, and we'd only screw things up if we tried to do it ourselves. Anything we can do to lessen our own drain on emergency resources (food, water, or physical protection) eases the load on everyone else. The government discourages it, and they might imprison or kill you if you have one, but consider a gun that you can handle effectively as part of your survival kit.
One nice thing about these "kits" is once you have them assembled, you have one less thing to worry about.

To: 300winmag
My biggest fear is that the "3 day survival kit" is only intended to keep you going until the government comes by to transfer you to a relocation camp.If FEMA's invlolved it'll be longer than 3 days (if at all).

What's up with the post office?? My audiocassette album still isn't here and it took forever to get your cookies!
I have no hope almost for my nickel whistle! It's coming all the way from Ireland!

"I think if Cassanove and I have nothing to say, he will leave me alone. But instead he uses it as a chance to put his testicles all over me."
"Um, excuse me?"
"You know, octopus, testicle?"
"No, that's tentacle. N-T. Big difference!"

What's up with the post office?? Inspecting everything for white powder? Dunno. Wish they'd do the same with my bills.
To: ecurbh
