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.

Isn't it a bummer what has happened to Eddie Bauer? - I used to love going there for all the gadgets! Now it is just clothes.

I think the corporate name is owned by some clothing company, and that's all that remains. Same thing with Abercrombie & Fitch.

I adored the A&F store in Chicago, especially the gun department. Bought my Winchester 1886 there. Of course, that was in the days when guns were legal in Chicago.

If you want to send them, I'll make sure they get there!

Please send me your snail mail address, and I'll have a slew of them sent to you. Thanks.

Just found this on another thread, and HAD to share it here. Dang, I wish I had thought of the image myself.

Sheesh! If that's not an ad for corporal punishment, I don't know what is...

It's just too much serious hystrionics for my taste.

Is it hystrionics or serious hystrionics you have trouble with?

Oh, and is the "shock and awe" you pull on Steve now and then considered hystrionical? ;^)

See ya later everyone. Am going camping tomorrow so most likely won't be back on until Monday.

Have a great weekend if I don't see you before the end of it!

Pass the popcorn.

No, I didn't get a new computer, Suzi. I got a part to make it work. Since I could get the part for $75 I figured I'd keep my computer for a while.

Isn't it Friday yet? It should be. Work was long. And boring.

Here's that thing that was outside Moria;

Click the following:

"I'm not exaggerating. This is a killer squid. From a science point of view, this is absolutely priceless."

Laugh it up if you wish! - It was quite series!

Looked that authentic did you?

[Wneighbor]

In other words, can I go ahead and dig up the ones that didn't bloom and replant and feed them for next year?

Go ahead an do it. (redneck rule of gardening number 8 I think.)

[JenB]

Aren't you supposed to refrigerate them or something?

[Overtaxed]

Nahh....that's tulips.

[JenB]

Maybe that's why I don't garden!
