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.

OT: nope, Butler MO and south on 71, Emporia south on I-35. Typical brown Christmas, but that's okay with us.

Just keeping tabs on what's happening in KS....working out logistics on how to move the cat out. Maybe I'll wait and see what kind of money we're talking about before the final decision.
Wonder how ridiculous I'll look in snowpants.

I did a little research and found that some cinemas carry "assistive listening devices" like headphones and I would love to try one sometime. Yes. She used one. Did not seem to help her much. They are basically just amplifiers. And with a lot of background - music, battles etc, the dialog gets lost in "noise."
Thanks

(pushing myself into this Group Hug..)
Merry Christmas to everyone from this 'part-timer'!
To: g'nad
You are really bummed about the movie huh!
You needed to go with someone more cheerful! - You two boys sat and stewed about it afterwards didn't you?
I don't like it as much as FoTR either, but FoTR is my favorite part of the story! You saw my own review when I got back! - where I tried to not say too much that was negative, I felt bit down too, but I think that is because our own images are too engrained to accept another telling on the first time through... consider my posts on the thread below from yesterday. I hate to give you a canned answer, because I know you better than I know the person I was talking to there, but it is a short thread, and covers the same disappointment points that I think you have. I came to the opinion I have now on that thread... particularly my from 18 on. We covered most of your concerns, and perhaps you will like my perspective, or perhaps it won't help you. It didn't particularly help Brady, but I don't know him.
Outraged KC Star columnist rips "The Two Towers" - too much disgregard for the text
To: Overtaxed
...Are too! Heheheheeee! Merry Christmas OT!
To: HairOfTheDog
Hair: loved the Christmas card, quite a group.
TO ALL: Merry Christmas & Happy New Year. It has been quite a year.
Have thoroughly enjoyed the time I've spent here in the Hobbit Hole I, II & III, will there be a IV & V? I sincerely hope so.
OSB-LSA; Samantha (the dog) and Louise & Annie (the cats)
ps. the cats just said they should be list first. (sigh)

No need to push your way in, NC! Plenty of room in the Hobbit Hole *group hug*!
So nice to have you around. :)
To: RMDupree
...Bah Humbug!

Oohh! - Mushy time! - Wonderful! I was just gonna send the card and call it good!
I really love every last one of you, all the cantankerous dwarves, happy hobbits, useful-enough men, and glorious elves! I value your fellowship, and consider you all to be my friends.
Merry Christmas to the Hobbit Hole!
To: NewCenturions
No need to push yourself in NC, I included you in the hug. ;^)

You can't ever really please the cats.
There will be new Hobbit Holes until we all run out of things to say. Who knows when that will happen!
To: HairOfTheDog
Do you think we could celebrate with a 25 or so post sneak to 2000? ;^D
