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.

Well, you have been known to defend airhead actors...

Just the cute ones. Cute goes a long way with me toward absolving other sins.

Who do you like for 40's female leads? I thought Bacall was attractive

I went through a Bacall phase (who hasn't) and I really like Ingrid Bergmann, too, but the older I get the more I appreciate the timeless classics, of whom one stands above the rest in my mind:

Thoughtful, sultry, sophisticated, and stunningly gorgeous....

Hmmmm....I'm trying to decide. What is worse? Religion wars or Whoopie in a chicken outfit?

Hair, it sounds fun. The potato cannon is now a goal of mine (none of this small-bore stuff, I wanna shoot the potato).

My problem now is that I'm driving 150 miles every day for the next two weeks with this career counselling thing in Seattle, so I'm not so sure I even want to get into a car on Sunday (my only day off from this thing).

I understand the sentiment. When I decide if/when I am going to that thing, I will try to entice you with potatos and see how it goes!

He doesn't want us starting him out on a pea-shooter?

Yeah the potato guns are great. Firing them at night, a flame comes out the barrel.

Sigh...as much as I'd like to Ruthy, I'm afraid we're stuck here. I've pretty much resigned myself to Richmond or DeeCee for employment options.

This winter has just been particularly cold and snowy. We got by for about 5-6 years without much at all. 2-3 weeks tops and it'll be springtime here. And that's a beautiful time in Virginia...assuming all this cold didn't kill my azaleas...

Drive by the UN and give 'em the old one finger salute on behalf of the Hobbit Hole...
