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.

My "bad mommy alert" stems directly from the fact that most modern day parents would go into hysterics if they even heard someone mention whiskey and 7 month old in the same sentence! Yeah, well. Look around you (present company excluded). A good number of "modern day parents" are idiots.
Our little one's surgery is scheduled for March 10. That was the soonest we can get him in. But we have to get him well first anyway. Dr. called in a prescription for strep today.

OK, time for the prayer warriors to get warmed up. :)

Prayer warrior thread killer?
To: Corin Stormhands
Fetch my medicine! There's a snow plow on my street!
To: Overtaxed
They just wanna push it all into your driveway...
To: Corin Stormhands
LOL! The last time I had a snowplow on my street was after that 20 inches in 2000. I ended up with a 2 foot speed bump in my driveway.
To: Corin Stormhands
LOL!!

At least a few that you folks know, right? Star of the County Down is the same as one of the hymns on Starkindler...trying to remember which one without luck. I can check when I get home. I know it's one you were learning recently, OT.
Quite a few non-Irish tunes, but who's to know? ;-)
To: RosieCotton; Overtaxed; 2Jedismom
Can you change #8 to "Johnny's Gone to France to Kick Their Whiney Arse?"

(Nice beat. Fun to dance to. I'll give it an 89 Mr. Clark.)
To: Corin Stormhands
Um...we can THINK of it that way in our own minds, but announcing it that way at a church supper might not go over well...

("Arse" is properly Irish, though, right?)
To: RosieCotton
Star of the County Down is the same as one of the hymns on Starkindler...trying to remember which one without luck. It's "I Heard the voice of Jesus Say".
To: RosieCotton
How about "Kick Their Whiney Hiney?"
To: Overtaxed
It's "I Heard the voice of Jesus Say". Yes, that's it! Though we do a 3/4 time one instead of a 4/4 time...as I recall, the one on Starkindler is 4/4.
Very pretty melody. I play fingerstyle guitar on that one...which I haven't been doing much later. I played the intro during practice last night and was embarrassingly rusty. Sigh! I need more free time!
To: Overtaxed
How about "Kick Their Whiney Hiney?" Umm...welll...
I'll be sure to tell my Dad about the new title, but I still think maybe it would be best played without a verbal introduction...
To: RosieCotton
Awwww.....c'mon......
