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.

I thoroughly enjoyed "That Hideous Strength" when I read it some years ago.

So did I. My favorite was the last book in the series, "The Last Battle".

I think it's a mischievous Elvish plot. They're all talking up Lembas like it's some baked delicacy. I bet when the hobbits unwrapped their mallorn leaf wrappings they had a big ol' piece of lutefish staring them in the face.

If they did, it's no wonder a small bite is all a grown man would need in a day...

I want his head on a pike.

I have no photoshop, and no skills, but here is the best I can do for now. Perhaps someone else can do it better for ya.

Did you fly?

Yes, B-52s.

My sinuses were too narrow, and I eventually started leaking blood into my face mask. Back then they could not fix it (they could today), and I ended up medically grounded.

Yes, it is definitely a faster load. I'm on dial up and they all popped up pretty quickly.

Am enjoying your blog, Alkhin. Thanks for linking to "The Home Front". It is great to know the names of companies thta are doing the right thing by our reservists. I can turn to it when doing business for our home, and support them in turn.

Lembas is *not* mutton and fish.

Muttonfish, aka mutton snapper

Our Richmond "Rally for America" is Sunday, March 23. They've booked a space that will hold 6,000. I hope we fill it up.

The mayor of Richmond has called for a resolution on the war because it will hurt "Richmond's redevelopment." No, you moron (the mayor) what hurts Richmond's redevelopment is that the city council is run by crooks, drug addicts and sluts (I am NOT making any of that up). But the vote is supposed to be on Monday after the rally. If he goes ahead with it, he'll look even more foolish than usual.
