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.

Of course not! I was merely drawing your attention, since I know how much you like them.

Nevermind.... ;^)

I think it would be AWESOME if we actually got Sadaam last night. Could you imagine the reaction of the French, Democrats, and the other assorted Sadaam sympathizers?

I may have to break out my "I'm a Happy Republican" t-shirt. ;^)

Listening now......

I'm glad Rummy's on our side. I feel a lot better with him in that position than William Cohen.

I was given this reference for maps of Iraq. TONS of good stuff there, more than I can ever hope to download at 56Kb. If you have some form of broadband, you might want to grab some of this stuff.

Just a quick note to say my brother's angioplasty went well, and the doctors are pleased. They put in two stents, and will keep him overnight, and he should be going home tomorrow. Thanks for your prayers and good wishes.

I'm reading here on FR, trying to watch FNC, listen to Rush, and do a Win XP Pro install, all at the same time.

Wonderful! Thank you for the update, 300! ;)

It's quiet in here because the news side is crazy! I am sans TV so you can imagine by desperate clicking with my lousy dial up!!!

Not sure what it means now...

Are these American or British soldiers? Could 'South End' means something like the 'West End' of London designates? Maybe it's just the South End of that emplacement.

So glad to hear that!

Ruthy: I was glad to read about your cousins treatment. Hope all continues to go well.

The news says there's supposed to be a bunch of anti-war protestors show up at the capitol today at 11:00.

Supposedly they had to close down several streets and lock down some parking lots today because of protestors. But I'm back from Charlottesville and the streets are clear (or as clear as they usually are).

Hullo! I'm Back! Have we won yet?

I haven't seen anything more about the (supposed)anti-war protest in Raleigh this morning. Maybe no one showed up!

Maybe she's launching a pre-emptive "Blow it Out Yer Shorts!" attack...
