The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!

[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.

Hmm, I'm sure your right. I also think the fact that PJ said he wasn't going to be shmoozing this time out like he did for FoTR has something to do with it.

"Round here no one wears Birkenstocks but Greeners and queers!"

Thanks R. Lee! LOL! As 2J says, we must be square pegs. I even wear my Birki clogs with *gasp* socks in the fall and winter. I don't give a flying fig what anybody says about it, either! I went for many years wearing uncomfortable shoes, and I ain't doin it any more!

Here in the Northeast, I'm not that very unusual when it comes to footwear. Lots of folks are doing the clog and socks thing nowadays! It's great, because when you get home, you can just kick the clogs off and slip into your bedroom slippers for around the house. The floor is too cold for just socks!

I'm out of here for the day! My boss let me out early, thank goodness!

Bye everyone! Stay safe and be careful!

Caddyshack was good, but my all-time favorite Bill Murray movie is "Stripes".

I've got a working theory that there's no member of the male gender in all of the USA that CAN'T quote a line from "Stripes".

[ItsOurTimeNow]

Ur...Seamus. Don't take this as a chastizing please but we do have underage Hole Dwellers here now

*blushes* Sorry.

I didn't mean it in the literal sense. More like, "Hey, look at me, I'm a big-shot Hollywood actor. I'm very important and everything I say is deep and profound."

I mean, they're just so in love with themselves, its sickening.

"That's a fact, Jack!"

John Candy: "The name's Dewey Oxburger. You may have noticed I've got a slight weight problem."

All: "Noooooooooo"

WINGER: "We're Americans .. with a capital 'A', huh. You know what that means? Do ya'? That means that our forefathers were kicked out of every decent country in the world."

"Oh, it's not the speed so much, I just wish I hadn't drunk all that cough syrup this morning...."

"Lighten up, Francis."

"It's Czechoslovakia! It's like going into Wisconsin!"

The last one had special meaning for kids in my high school... the drinking age in Michigan was 21, but it was only 18 in Wisconsin; living only 8 miles from the Wisconsin border, you can guess what a favorite weekend activity was among my peers....

WINGER: "Something seriously wrong with us. We're soldiers, .. but, we're American soldiers, and we've been kicking @$$ for 200 years! We're ten and one!"

[Overtaxed]

People are pming me laughing!

Hehehe.....are they keeping up the food discussions too?

[Overtaxed]

I bet TTT would be cleaning house if Aragorn had instead shouted, "Let us attempt to understand their anger!"

You know, I don't thing Aragorn made any attempt to understand their anger.

Did Saruman's Army get the proper diplomatic authorisation to invade Rohan, pre-emptively striking them?

"You can't leave me! All the plants will die!"

WINGER: "We're Americans .. with a capital 'A', huh. You know what that means? Do ya'? That means that our forefathers were kicked out of every decent country in the world."

One of my all time personal favorites!

[Wneighbor]

okay, i briefly showed up on my week off and killed the thread. and some people say i'm not useful.

[Overtaxed]

Did Saruman's Army get the proper diplomatic authorisation to invade Rohan, pre-emptively striking them?

Their anger entitled them to strike without proper diplomatic authorization. If Aragorn had surrendered like they wanted, there wouldn't have been a battle at Helm's Deep. It's all Aragorn's fault!

Hi, Wneighbor!

Timing is everything. It's drive home time in the Eastern time zone.

[Wneighbor]

Hi OT. It's about driving time again here too. I had a nice day off until I got a call from the school to come in and find pricing for new software to include in a grant proposal for sometime in the next few years.

So, I'm here. on my day off. blah.

[Overtaxed]

Well that stinks!
