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 love that song by Eric Bogle!! I heard it for the first time just after I'd seen the movie "The Lighthorsemen", about an Aussie Mounted Infantry Battalion in WWI. It was very poignant with those images still in my head.

That has been posted on the Poetry Branch a couple of times I believe, with an explanation of the meaning of the term and story. It is sad, and I think that is the better rendition of it that I have heard. Great!

I have Bette's live performance tape that has that song on it. It's pretty filthy. It's also hysterical.

Is that "The Divine Miss M" where at one point she comes rolling out in a wheelchair in a fish costume and her back up singers are also in fish costumes? They looked like something from a Mummer's Parade!

In Florida, perhaps they have their priorities in order.

Oh girl, you need to be going to the Flora-Bama Club!! It is literally on the line between FL and AL in the panhandle, out on Perdido Key, just west of Pensacola.

Ewww. I think I'll pass on both the Car Bomb and the Liquid Cocaine. I prefer drinks that are slightly more tame, though I had a White Spider once that was very good. It was a blend of vodka, white creme de menthe, and white creme de cocao; I don't remember exactly, but it was vey good!

No, it's after that. This is "Mud Will Be Flung Tonight"

Oh RUTHY!! That card you sent me was hysterical!! I gotta share it.

Number seven was my all time favorite, with eight coming in a close second.

I'm glad you liked it, 2J. I thought 7 was perfect as well. I laughed out loud when I saw it and that made my decision to send it right there!! LOL!!

Happy early B-Day!
