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.

"screw the hippy wackos!!" What a great statement, Hair, you are my hero(ine) once again! Sticklebats! - You weren't supposed to *like* the mantra! HA!

Heh, did you really think I needed the link? ;)
Speaking strictly as a sort-of competitor, I'm really envious of their site... it has a nice design, IMHO, and more importantly it looks like they've made a success of themselves.
Oh well, maybe a second attempt at entrepeneurship will work better than my first...

Well, perhaps you could outshine them if you got a line on those cool 3D puzzles. They are behind in the 3D puzzle market!
To: HairOfTheDog; Bear_in_RoseBear; All
Good night everyone, sleep well, you guys.
To: Sam Cree
Good Night Sam!
To: HairOfTheDog
I could look around for the 3D puzzles, find out who makes them...
You know, we never carried any LOTR merchandise... one of the dangers of running a site selling SF stuff is knowing in advance what is going to be hot and what isn't. Boy, did we pick wrong.

OK - I have it going now.
Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it...

I guess you picked wrong! You could have owned TolkienTown! Heh. Alas....
It was in this moment, when all hope had faded, that Isildur, son of the king, took up his father's sword...
To: HairOfTheDog
I guess you picked wrong!Yep, story of my life...
Isildur, son of the king, took up his father's sword...
It was just the hilt-shard, you know, not the whole sword...

He made it work! "He picked up his father's hild-shard" does not have the same imagery.
And what about very old friends?
To: HairOfTheDog
"He picked up his father's hild-shard" does not have the same imagery.`I was the herald of Gil-galad and marched with his host. I was at the Battle of Dagorlad before the Black Gate of Mordor, where we had the mastery: for the Spear of Gil-galad and the Sword of Elendil, Aiglos and Narsil, none could withstand. I beheld the last combat on the slopes of Orodruin, where Gil-galad died, and Elendil fell, and Narsil broke beneath him; but Sauron himself was overthrown, and Isildur cut the Ring from his hand with the hilt-shard of his father's sword, and took it for his own.'
Hmmm, well, it is different imagery... ;)
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
Oh darn. Sorry Mr. Tolkien. I didn't mean it. It was great imagery.
I have things I must see to.... Questions. Questions that need answering.

Well, perhaps you could outshine them if you got a line on those cool 3D puzzles. They are behind in the 3D puzzle market!But they're winning with rubber elf ears! It's their No. 5 best seller, ahead of a Legolas poster.
To: 300winmag
Yes, I think the rubber elf-ear market is pretty saturated. No point in trying to break into that!

It's their No. 5 best seller, ahead of a Legolas poster.See, that highlights my poor skill when it comes to picking what will be 'hot'... I never would have guessed rubber elf ears would outsell a Legolas poster.
Hair, do you have your rubber elf ears yet?
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
I have no elf ears!Nor do I know anyone who has elf-ears.
Who is buying all these elf-ears?

Who is buying all these elf-ears?Wouldn't you love to see the sales records of the folks that bought the ears?
"Gondor has no rubber elf ears. Gondor needs no rubber elf ears."
