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.

He'd be dead.

He'd sooner grab an anchor!

My French ancestors were Huguenots, and left a long time ago to avoid the ones that are still there...

So you really have to decide which one you want to smell.

[RMDupree]

I'd probably just shove cotton balls doused with lavender oil up my nose if that were the case!

Perfume is bad, but onion B.O. is worse! The combo must be fatal!

Here's the "Rules of Pub Etiquette" from the irish eatery I took my wife to for lunch today-

1) Children must behave ofter 6:00 pm.
2) Gentlemen are requested to offer their seats to ladies.
3) Have a drink if you want it, not if you need it.
4) If you brawl, don't drink at all.
5) When you swear, swear by your country.
6) If you wear a hat, wear it properly.
7) Don't ask for foo foo drinks.
8) Mind your belongings.
9) A dog is kept to do all the barking.
10) If you're drinking to forget, don't forget to tip the barman.
11) Pipers must register with the barman.
12) Treat the bar staff with respect.
13) Don't expect your Guiness before it's ready.
14) If you're driving home make sure you've got a car.
15) Treat our darts as if they were your own.
16) When "time" is called, do your talking while you're walking.
17) Behave or be gone!

Last week I won a dozen bagels from "O'Briensteins" our local Irish/Jewish pub...

[Corin Stormhands]

Wonder if I could throw a rock over his shoulder while the Naz-boss isn't looking?

[RMDupree]

A rock to the head might be more effective! :)

I love it! Especially Number 11!

And here's some traditional Irish blessings-

1) Here's a health to our enemies enemies.
2) May you live to be a hundred years with one extra year to repent.
3) May the grass grow long on the road to Hell for want of use.
4) God made the flowers to fascinate. God made the mountains to beguile and then He made the Irish so the world would always smile.
5) May the brick arch above us never fall in, and may we friends gathered below never fall out.
6) May you have warm words on a cold evening, a full moon on a dark night and the road downhill all the way to your door.
7) The health of a salmon to you, a long life, a full heart and a wet mouth.

[RMDupree]

I love that list!

[Corin Stormhands]

I think it takes more than a rock to kill a Naz-boss.

[RMDupree]

There are some perfumes out there that I'm certain would melt the goggles off of that mask!

[ksen]

Maybe we should institute these for the Hobbit Hole. ;^)

[RMDupree]

Not to kill! More to stun than anything else.

Have you tried brandishing a flaming torch at him?

[Dawntreader]

I love Pepe!

[RosieCotton]

Mine?
