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.

LOLOL!! Great link. Better Off Dead is one of my all-time favorite comedies, along with The Holy Grail, Blazing Saddles, and The Princess Bride.

Good list! Raisin' Arizona should be on the list somewhere, methinks! And Joe versus the Volcano.

Hmm...I don't remember there being a rebate! I know I got my film book companion to the movie a while back :-D (I sent that form off the same day I bought it!)

I would think I would have done the rebate if I saw one. But I can't remember LOL

ecurbh: I love the Princess Bride too. I think I only saw Blazing Saddles once, and dang that was funny.

HOD: I love Joe Vs. The Volcano! "I know he can get the job, but can he do the job? Look, look, I'm not arguing that with you. I'm not arguing that! I know he can get the job, but can he do the job? I'm not arguing that with you!" (Or something like that..going by (poor) memory here!)

I have a fondness for Mel Brooks comedies, especially Blazing Saddles!

I have to say though, I absolutely adore Caddyshack!!

I still haven't seen that movie! Everyone keeps telling me I need to see it, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

What do y'all think? Paranoia? Or does it make sense?

We've had a 'bug-out' box since after 9/11. It needs to be replenished with fresh crackers,nuts etc. We're not that far from Boston, so you never know. We can be outta the house in less than 10 minutes, heading West if we have to leave the area.

We're also going to prepare a home emergency kit so we could live in the basement for a week or so if need be. There was an interesting thread posted by a Mormon woman earlier this week that gave some info on a REALLY elaborate 72 hr. kit.

You hate to think that way, but the times make it necessary. It's truly better to be safe than sorry! I heard some guy being interviewed on the radio today about sealing a room in your home in case of a bio-chem or radiological attack. He said you need plastic sheeting and duct tape, then he called duct tape 'homeland security on a roll'. I thought that was a hoot!

It's very funny! And who doesn't laugh at Rodney Dangerfield in his prime!?

Blazing Saddles is another one I can quote in entirety.

"Candygram for Mongo!"
"Heh. Mongo like candy!"

"You will be risking your lives, whilst I will be risking an almost-certain Academy Award nomination for the Best Supporting Actor."

"Well, my name is Jim, but most people call me... Jim."

"Send a wire to the main office and tell them I said [gets hit on head with a shovel] OW!"
[writing]"...tell them I said "Ow", gotcha!"

There are so many of these silly-type funny flicks out there.

Top Secret (with Val Kilmer before he was cool), Johnny Dangerously (I still say "fargin bastages"), Young Frankenstein (Abby something. Abby who? Abby Normal!), Porky's (Why do they call her "Lassie"?),etc., etc.

I know, I know, childish and immature, but I still crack up at the eating beans/farting scene around the fire!
