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.

Thanks for the poem. That's a keeper. Yeah, wouldn't hurt to pull it out and re-read when the going gets tough, as it likely will at times.
It's actually pretty healthy that a 13-year-old could articulate that.
Yes it is. It is a very legitimate concern. Maybe if he read the poem it would help his perspective, by empowering him with the good act he will be contributing to. ( I didn't say that very well, but you know what i mean)

I have Bette's live performance tape that has that song on it. It's pretty filthy. It's also hysterical.
Fat as I am. Who wants to see a diva fat as I am?
I get mistaken now for Lanie Kazaan.
How is it that I'm fat as I am?
Try it again. All my friends say I should diet again.
That my fans are gonna riot again.
Look what happened to Liz...

Lemme look at the calendar again. I'm thinkin' there will be a weekend when the wife and the boys go down to NC to help her Mom work on clearin' out the house.

I went to my friend's gig a few months back and the lead singer forgot the words to "Margaritaville". I jumped up, grabbed the mic and proceeded to sing away! My friend Debbie (guitarist Mike's wife) snapped this shot of me crooning! LOL!! What a hoot!
Notice the lead singer has that little hand held maraca (sp?) thing in his hand. I think it distracted him and that's why he forgot the words.

My rendition was a steadier tempo, with a more classical sound... imitating the acapella version performed by
The Chor Leoni...

(and you said it just fine)

GReat pic! - Great time!

Though that guy's tortured rendition made me so sad. It is a heartbreaking story.

My husband didn't mind. It was easily painted over. I did ask for a nice pattern of pitch on the roof too, but he said no. lol
To: Luis Gonzalez
Then of course, there is the Key West version:AACKK!

I found that live stream with a really cool search engine I just heard about, for folks that like to find audio and video bits online. I have never had much luck till this!
Singingfish - Find audio and video
To: Corin Stormhands
And, I won't mind her help outside. I just want the control of what goes where, etc.If you can, try to make a yard plan before she comes, or see if she can help you figure one out!
Interesting about Jr's concerns. I guess having lost his Grandad last year, he's worried that she may go soon, too. But you're right, it is good that he can articulate it. Heck, I'd be concerned about the same thing!

better gimme a number where they can be reached... somebody'll have to come claim the body...

I would do more Jimmy Buffett, but the bars don't often have it!Are you series? Mr. Margaritaville, and they don't have his music on karaoke?
He was at my college before I got there. Must have graduated a year or two before. My cousin's boyfriend was Sigma Nu, and that was Jimmy's fraternity.
To: g'nad
"sir, you ain't human..."Heh. Heh! What is in an Irish Car Bomb, by the way?
Heehee...I just stumbled upon this while Googling:
To: g'nad
Whut makes you think they'll want it back?

They often have Margaritaville, but nothing else! - Well, I am at the wrong corner of the country in flannel-wearin' grunge band land. In Florida, perhaps they have their priorities in order.
