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.

Who equates elves with fear?

Do the words, "Ai! A Balrog! A Balrog is come!" sound familiar?

I sometimes have trouble with official-like. I copied and pasted yours into Word and hit print. It had a source and the author so I won't get in trouble with the school.

what sentence is 2j making you write?

i could make allusions to this is a very nicely excited way. but it would be so inappropriate in this family forum.

Don't shoot the messenger! - Wouldn't *you* want warning that a Balrog had come?

I was just trying to show that sometimes even Elves are afraid... quoting the entire passage would show the context, but I can't do that from here unfortunately!

I never thought of a Balrog needing a herald to announce his presence! (or anything else...)

What's a TOC?

I know I'm playing catch up, and it could already have been answered, but I think "TOC" is "Tactical Operations Center". There was a spot on "Mail Call" the other night about them. The Ops Centers are very Hi-tech these days; lots of computers so the folks in the back can keep up with whats going on at the front lines.

But, I see you got my meaning without me getting all graphically descriptive.

Is that the Hobbit Hole in general? Aren't we all there? Or has he dug a hole within a hole?

Jeeepers...

Ari on now and the press questions are all about how the press is behaving. It is of course, all about them.

No worries, Bear!

We can hang out here in the hole inside the Hole. The Dwarves will be by momentarily to join us! *grin*

"Ai!" = Even in the books they scream like wimmin!
