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.

Hi, RWRF.

Do you like the movie better than the book? My wife was slightly taken aback when I told her that the heroes did not succeed in taking out the German "ship" in the book and instead, it was destroyed by English commando types in speedboats.

I haven't read the book since I was 14 and it was assigned reading for English class.

Whoopi came out dressed as Elizabeth I and deadpanned, "I AM the African Queen..."

Did she look as ridiculous in that as she did in the chicken outfit?

Okay, so I know I can't be a conservative and like her

So there *is* a litmus test! - I knew it! - I was told there wasn't one.

You haven't gotten your secret decoder ring yet either, have you?

Hi Sam, I never read the book, so I don't know any other story than that portrayed in the movie. From what you say, I think I like the movie ending even better....

What are you doing with 2 kayaks? You'd have to like leaches living in Minnesota, I notice that's all you use for bait up there. They work great on walleyes, tho.

Who do you like for 40's female leads? I thought Bacall was attractive, but she is dumb enough to like Clinton, so I guess some things never change.

This place is like a friendly pub where the cares of the day can either be forgotten, or shared among friends.

I am sure glad you all are with me!


Right-click & "show picture" if everyone doesn't show up... We are a pretty picture all together like this!

Morning!

Super busy here this morning so I'm setting out some muffins, doughnuts and coffee for everyone. Bacon, egg and cheese biscuits are ready!

I'll catch up on the posts in a bit. ENJOY!
