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.

TCM is showing Casablanca on March 23rd at 8:00PM. Duly noted! Thanks, OT!

Hmmm... I think we're all coming to your house to watch this movie Ruthie.

when it finally melts, in May or June!

That's just wrong.

Yeah, tell me about it! I just hope my boxwoods are totally bent out of shape from being under the snow for the last 2 months!!

I've always been partial to Cary Grant myself, even in his 'grungy' roles, like "Father Goose", one of the cutest movies ever made!!

We could always do a view/chat that night. It's a Sunday.

The snow is piled up about 4 feet on either side of the driveway now. Almost can't see the mailbox on its post from the front door! At least it will add some moisture to the ground when it finally melts, in May or June!

Well, I'm unhappy here today because our temps are going back to the mid-30's today. That was after 70 yesterday. :-)

We had to do an intervention. It wasn't pretty.

Wasn't Gregory Peck the guy who played in Shane?.......No, wait a minute, I think that was Alan Ladd.

Anyway, whichever actor it was I remember being told that the actor who played Shane wasn't really as tall as the cameras made him out to be. That he was often standing on a box.....maybe it was Gimli that played Shane....
