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.

Did he give up on ridding the world of D&D?

I dunno. That wasn't our candidate. That was the challenger. I haven't seen him since 1985...

Yeah. Geocities is like Tripod. You can't link from there.

Did you hear Rummy just now?

"A war plan is like a family budget. It is something everyone sits down and does, but never lives by"

or something like that.... HA!

Well it goes back and forth between being fixed and not fixed. The characters are okay, but there's some weird column thing going on...

Uh-oh...are the Chinese hackers going at it? LOL

I read on Drudge (just the headline...didn't go into the article) that Chinese hackers were set to protest their own way.

I've lost that hangin' feeling,
Oh, that hanging feeling.
I've lost that hanging feeling,
Now they've rang, rang, rang.....

LOL! You guys crack me up! I am not mad. I do not hold grudges. I was just curious how long it would take for someone to notice, and three weeks isn't that bad.... I'm not sure whether or not to be flattered that you found me on April Fool's day ;^).

Seriously... I've just been very busy and with only ten or fifteen minutes a week to devote to FReeping, I just haven't felt like that was enough to do justice to the Hobbit Hole.... I definitely do not want to burn any bridges with you fine people, so if it's all right with you, I will just be an occasional poster here unless and until life gets a little less stressful.... Please don't stop pinging me to items of interest...

I've lost that hangin' feeling,
Oh, that hanging feeling.
I've lost that hanging feeling,
Now they've rang, rang, rang.....

May the Lord bless and keep all of us in these difficult days!

Hey RWRF, great to hear from you, I was worried too.

Yeah, it's that time of year for your profession, isn't it?
Take care, then. Hope the "lurkers" are doing good.
