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.

Maybe it's all a big conspiracy put together by the plastic sheeting and duct tape people?

We should find out how much Lowes and Home Depot gave to the Bush campaign...

Well, the way I am looking at it, no one is going to do this plastic sheeting thing until the chem/bio attack has already happened, so it is either too late or not needed where you are isn't it? - and how are you ever going to really seal it? - and if you did seal it, how would you breathe? I dunno, it seems like crazy talk to me, but then I am out in the middle of nowhere. If I was in New York, I would be worried, not about how to seal the place off, but worried about where I am gonna move to.

LOL ... could be!

Seriously though, I'm not going to worry about it. If it happens, it happens. I'm confident where I will go when I die and I don't think I'll be sad about it! And I may be delusional, but I feel somewhat safer here in the Midwest, but then I don't live in the country but in the Twin Cities area. (I also am always thinking...to prove a point they can strike in the Midwest.)

Which reminds me. There was a guest caller on Jason Lewis and I can not remember the name. They were giving pretty good evidence of the Al-Queda (spelling?) link to the Oklahoma City bombing. RWRF, ecurb...did you 2 catch that by any chance? I've been wanting to look into that more.

Ten pounds per episode? per day? - per week?

If that isn't a week's worth, you need to switch to a different dog food!

You know in Red Dawn they landed right in the middle of the country...

My motherly instincts tell me to do whatever nessessary to protect my kids. I can potentially see me at least trying to dig a hole to protect them in...if I could.

It's not me I worry about. I imagine I wouldn't go to any effort, if it was just me and Steve. That may sound terrible, but it's true.

It's a different story though, when it comes to my kids.

Yeah...we're so far from any big cities here that if something happened, we would probably have some notice. And I really don't see how taping stuff off would really seal stuff well enough to keep you alive, especially as if it really DID seal completely, how do you get air? And water and supplies after whatever you have runs out?

My first thought would be how to get to my family, in any case. Then if we don't make it, at least we don't make it together.

Yeah, that's about it. If something happens, it happens. I'm ready.

They did? eeks. You know, I never did see that movie. And the US lost too, didn't they? If I'm remembering right what I heard about it.

It's just a God-given instinct...an attempt at preserving the next generation or something, even if it is hopeless. If I am to die, I would want to die doing something to protect my kids.

I can totally understand that. I would be the same way I'm sure. But it's just me to worry about, so whatever.
