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.

Ah... a sect that is, perhaps, less than standard Christianity?

You're quite perceptive Jen. Utah thot I'd given more clues...

Here you go!

I just found Advanced Graphics website. Their page with the LOTR standees doesn't have the Legolas-by-himself figure, though.

Might be a good fundraiser if the club needs one, Hair. Charge an certain amount 'per clip' to unload into Jar Jar!! You'd make a fortune!!

Yes, but you must admit, that pose makes him a perfect addition to any gun range.

Sure, I think I should order a dozen of them or so! Great way to bring younger members into the club too!

Weather weenies are now saying we may have an inch of ice accumulate by morning... less than 2 hours ago they were saying we weren't likely to get any more tonight.

I wish I could get paid for being incompetent.

Weather weenies...

Careful Bear. Hair will be along any minute to tell you they're just trying to do their job...

Stay safe and warm. See y'all tomorrow.

Are they incompetent because they now think you will have more bad weather?

It isn't their fault there is ice, you know... God did that.

I didn't call anyone incompetent... I merely stated that I wished I could be paid for being incompetent. Big difference!

True, but their failure to predict the ice is their fault.

By the way, your cookie shipment may be delayed a day or two... if the current predictions come true, we aren't likely to be going anywhere tomorrow. However, given the "predictors" history with this storm, it's just as likely to warm up overnight and everything will be melted by morning. They might as well flip a coin or throw darts at a board, they'd be just as likely to get it right....

Ouch! Y'all be careful, ice is so treacherous!

We had a brief snowfall here today, and more is expected Friday. I'm hoping the weather will be good on Sat. because we're having a Mardi Gras party that night!

We're both at home, and won't be going anywhere until the temperature goes above freezing again. As soon as it does, all of the ice will disappear. In the meantime, though, the major danger is the power going out. Some neighborhoods in Austin have had outages already, but we're still good here, knock on wood.

Hope you have good weather for your party Saturday!

Predicting the weather is tricky business!


No rush for the cookies, all in due time!

Well, no argument there. We had thunder-sleet this afternoon... sleet and freezing rain, together with lightning and thunder. Very strange!

I'm logging off... have a good night!

Actually, I swept salt up under it! Worked like a charm! Came right up after a while.

I got my piccolo head but can't play it worth a hoot. I either need practice, or it's impossible!

We had hamburgers and "surrender monkey" fries for supper. The fries name was Matthew's idea!

Going to bed now...see you all later!
