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.

Oh well....guess the neighbors will just have to deal with it!

What the heck is this??????
Sorry for shouting, I am frustrated at not being able to decipher it!

THE EVIL CURSE THAT CONSUMES GOLLUM

-- Posted by Dawn_Noelle on Tuesday, February 11 2003 at 9:09 AM GMT

Movie-goers have been given a glimpse of the final part of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Return of the King. It shows Smeagol's fall from grace and metamorphosis into the bitter and twisted Gollum, after he finds the Ring, above left, and it begins to eat away at his soul.

Does Her Highness like bacon?

No. She's never been too interested in bacon. Beef, fish, rice, and (believe it or not) even yellow squash. Oh yeah....and left-over cereal milk.

I don't know!!! Oh my goodness, FMM, I can't figure it out either!

[HairOfTheDog]

I am a smart person, and I just don't understand! I have sent an email to the poster from Warofthering, and also to Xoanon and Tehanu at TORN.... nothing back yet....

[Overtaxed]

You don't think it was released too early, do you? The ROTK trailer isn't out yet, is it?

[HairOfTheDog]

I haven't heard a thing about it, and TORN would be all over it if it was! - I don't know!

[2Jedismom]

You know, I think that same thing to myself sometimes when I'm trying to figure out something and it won't go in...

It's dreadful in the grocery store. I'm always afraid I'm being had!

But I am a reasonably intelligent person too and can't figure this out for the life of me.

Let me know when you hear something!

I'm getting the boys in bed, then I'll be free to chat for a while...here or in Yahoo.

[HairOfTheDog]

Oh - You'll be the first to know!

[Wneighbor]

Beats me. I don't get it.

[ecurbh]

Thanks. Got it posted.

[HairOfTheDog]

Ahh.... Good! - You formatted it better than mine too!

[Wneighbor]

I like it. I like it a lot. I think I read part of that book. Maybe back in the '70's or something. It sounds different now though.

[HairOfTheDog]

Here's what I get back from Tehanu:

No idea, I can't see a thing.
Cheers, Tehanu

My brain is exploding, and he completely lacks curiousity about it. Figures!

Hardy Boys read...boys are in bed!

I could use some popcorn!

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

I think there's a picture missing on that site. But, could it be referring to the promotional stills that have already been released, showing Smeagol's corruption?

[HairOfTheDog]

But the first part of the article says "Movie-goers have been given a glimpse of the final part of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Return of the King".... What does that mean? Which moviegoers? - When? - Where? - It's making me crazy.

Ecurbh, I am back now... I see you were in chat... I was out putting the horses to bed.

[Penny1]

I wonder if it's something that's only been released in the UK. Or perhaps it is just a false report....

[Corin Stormhands]

You've got to add Young Frankenstein to that list.

[JenB]

I don't get it...

Hi all, really long day. For instance, I spent two hours today trying to get a program to run, doing all sorts of mumbo-jumbo.... only to find out that I had improperly captialized one line of XML. Arrgh!

Choir was fun, and we stopped for Mexican before singing. We had more snow today and promised some tonight. I'm bummed that TTT got so snubbed at the Oscars.

Then I get home and my parents have this little talk about how we're going to be stocking up on three days' food and water (er... that's over a week's worth for a normal family) like the president suggests... what is the world coming to when my mother has to worry about terrorists?
