The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!

[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.

Corin. What can I say?

Libarian.... meet one of the dwarves.

Since it is Friday, I might as well make sure we have plaenty of ale on hand!

[Corin Stormhands]

mmmmmm....ale.....

I SAID 'scuse me...

[HairOfTheDog]

2J knows more than I do! - I wouldn't know how to send stuff if not for her! She brought us the guys we are sending to!

Alkhin knows too! - She was talking about an Adopt-A-Soldier program the other day.

And of course, the ladies at the Canteen would know.

[HairOfTheDog]

Looks like the war is going well.

Going well for what we can know! - The biggest danger may be yet to come, or it may have been beheaded. We just don't know for sure what lies ahead. - But.... There isn't anyone in the world better trained to handle whatever does happen.

Are you sure that's going to be enough?

We have a dwarf around, after all.... ;)

[JenB]

After the day I've had... I'd like a mug, and make it a pint!

[libarian]

I'll second that.

It seems there's another dwarf on your hands ;-)

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Well, the weekend is here anyway... time to kick back and relax a bit!

I was cube-bound all day, so the only connection to the news I had was reading the live war thread... I was pretty shocked and awed, just from reading that.

If it is, then I think we will have covered the sunscreen thing...don't you?

You done some good shopping there, 2J. I'll send a bit more by PayPal so you can have some cash when you come across another "target of opportunity". You seem to be keeping your eyes open for great deals for our troops. Keep up the good work.

[JenB]

Oh, great, just what the Hole needs. Why can't we ever get some nice Elf friends?

Just kidding. Welcome! We're very pleased you're here.

Well, now, the Hobbits enjoy ale as well... may I ask, do you also have a beard, an axe, or, uhm, rough table manners? ;)

[Overtaxed]

Ruthy will have to fry more bacon in the morning!

[HairOfTheDog]

Ack! - I need to hide in here for awhile.

I should have stayed off the road.

[Corin Stormhands]

Welcome indeed!

We are few but proud (and sometimes smelly). But we're loved.

A couple of our brothers are absent. g'nad is off helping kick Saddam's butt. Not sure where rightwingreligiousfanatic has been....

(just watch out fer the elves)

[osagebowman]

2JM, finally got to end of the thread and find you gone, well, no matter, a hearty "you done real good".

I'm glad you're keeping the receipts and the books on "Operation-Hobbit Hole", not that we don't trust you, we don't want you doing all the work and spending your own money. We're in this together, although we are all miles apart.

Three cheers for 2JM and her 'crew'.

[Corin Stormhands]

What did you do this time?

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Hello! Good evening!

I still haven't caught that profound thought I might have had last night... I've decided to let it run wild for a while to see if the herd can manage to repopulate...

How are the ponies?

[Sam Cree]

Hi libarian, my first post on freerepublic was on this thread also. Welcome.

I am not a dwarf either, but I do drink with them. Also, I have some shine.

So Bear, we are the 3 whose first posts were here, right?

What's B5?

[Sam Cree]

Corin, what you said awhile back...I am hoping that the Hollywood folk are doing some damage to themselves this time around also.

[Corin Stormhands]

I see now. Off trying to be the voice of reason again I see.

Well, I'm off for a while. My sister-in-law (same one) is back with her step-son (he's on spring break). So we're off to play trivial pursuit. Then again, I should stay here and ask you guys when I get stuck...
