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.

Any word from Vim? And you did give Stinky the forwarding address, didn't you?

It's not a skills test. Don't worry, you're in.

whew! I was really worried there for a minute... was afraid I'd have to take up singing or riding or playing the whistle or something...

It's a banner day! If it makes you feel better, I won't see it until Thursday.

I guess it makes me feel a LITTLE better...though that's not very nice of me, is it?

Are you planning on avoiding this place until you've seen the movie?

Hi Rosie! I didn't get a chance to say it earlier, but congratulations on getting the interview! Knock 'em dead!

That is, I mean, impress 'em lots, you know?

I sent a note to Vim's email address, but he didn't answer. It was a yahoo addy, though, and I don't know if that is an account he really uses! I don't know what else to do!

I sent g'nad the ping! - He must be slaying orcs and other official stuff today. He'll be around soon enough I hope.

I haven't heard from Penny in awhile but I hope we soon will. She is probably going to a midnight show somewhere in Seattle tonight! I wish LCS would check in and tell us he is OK.

I'm just soo happy that my heartbeat is regular and that won't be bothering me. I had to take some pepto-bismol to settle my stomach, but otherwise, I'm going great!

I'm gonna live!

This hobbit doesn't stand in line if there's any way to avoid it. :)

I really like the popcorn is the thing...the really great big popcorn! But you have to buy the drink to go along with it!

Arghhh!

Don't like standing in line here either! We'll have the tickets, but I'm guessing there will be a line waiting for seats. On the other hand, "Star Trek: Nemesis" didn't have a line, and that was at 7:30 pm on a Friday night...
