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, I have gotten the dishes done.... that is good!
I have tried out the new lawnmower, it works great!
Now for some lunch... and then I am gonna play with my horses a bit. The sun is finally out.

Oh my lord...
You just have to try to picture what just happened.... there was a show on Animal Planet that had a cat meowing on it, and Gidget was getting into it, so I started making cat noises, and Gidget was running around all excited looking for the cat making that sound....
So I started going maaaaawwwwwwwww.... meeeeeeoooowwwwwwww.... the long drawn out sounds that cats will make when they are fighting. Well, my cat leaps up onto my desk.... and in less than a second, leaped on my face! HA! I guess whatever I was saying really ticked him off!
My cat weighs 18 pounds... just picture me trying to get this cat off of my head!.... was like the bunny in Monty Python!
To: HairOfTheDog
LOL! Animal impersonations can be hazardous to your health!

We're supposed to get rain later on this week.It poured rain all day yesterday, but it doesn't look like it made much of a dent in the snow pack!
To: HairOfTheDog
... just picture me trying to get this cat off of my head!.... was like the bunny in Monty Python!Or the critter in Alien!! LOL!
To: Overtaxed
Hazardous indeed!
To: SuziQ
I have claw marks in the back of my head, but he didn't get my face.... at least not too bad.... LOL!
To: HairOfTheDog
I'm going out to mow right now (grass has been growing all "winter"). But I won't be as environmentally friendly as you.
They'll pry my gas mower out of my dead hands.
To: HairOfTheDog
You got THAT cat stuck on your HEAD??!!!
To: Scott from the Left Coast
Pictures! We want pictures!
To: Scott from the Left Coast
*That* cat was stuck to my head! Yes!
To: Overtaxed
I am not going to duplicate the experience just to get a good photo op!
To: Overtaxed; HairOfTheDog
That one would have been a $10,000 winner on America's Funniest Home Videos!
To: Scott from the Left Coast
Well, I might do it for $10,000

Bummer. "The Pianist" just won the BAFTA award for Best Picture. Has anyone heard about any of the other nominations? I was out doing errands and didn't see the earlier part of the show.
To: HairOfTheDog
I am not going to duplicate the experience just to get a good photo op! Just set the camera up. Mouuuuuuwwww. Meeeee....ooooooow.
To: HairOfTheDog; 2Jedismom
Hi ho...
Just sent y'all an email regarding a new cookie recipe I've come up with.
To: SuziQ
