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.

Make sure you come dehydrated?

That, combined with running out to the rest room during the last of the previews. Would hate to miss a preview though, so it's a tough decision!

Rose and I like seeing the previews!

And who ever decided "Little John" would be a good name for the male-associated device?

What's wrong with you people? Didn't you see the first movie? Didn't you pay attention when Aragorn told the Hobbits it was time to move on?

What's more important The Two Towers or popcorn and Mountain Dew?

Please, a little self-discipline here is all that's needed. I can go three-hours without a drink. But if I'm drinking, I can't go three-hours without "undrinking."

Being over forty really sux...

Hobbit Hole #1 was "New Zealander builds Hobbit Hole" linked at the top of the thread.

The New Hobbit Hole was Number 2!

I bet it is an actual military pilot acronym.

Now that you mention it, it does sound like the kind of euphemism the military would come up with!

Have you ever seen the movie "The Right Stuff"? I'm thinking about the scene where Alan Shepard's flight was delayed on the launch pad, and this very question had to be addressed...

Yes, I have seen it many times!

I bet the military ones are camouflage though. Better safe than sorry, even inside and airplane!

My brain's typo filter just edits those out right on the fly.

Hmm, too bad g'nad isn't here today... somehow I think he might enjoy this conversation.

I've been trying to save my giddiness for tomorrow, but it's threatening to spill over into today!

Resemblence?

Resemblance? That face would scare a nazgul! If he as an extra in one of the movies, PJ would have to put a ton of makeup on him just to make him a convincing orc.

Very nice place here, and I can feel the excitement. However, I have a server to build, and then install this Saturday, with a three-hour drive each way. I'm beginning to fear that I won't get a chance to see the movie until after Christmas. Keep the spoilers coming, they don't spoil it for me.

A friend who got in on a sneak preview last week said TTT was an order of magnitude grander and more impressive than FOTR. I can believe that.

Okay, I've gotta run. I need to run by the store and pick up an adapter so that I don't blow out the Eastern seaboard when I plug in my Christmas lights (I was up until 2:00 a.m. stringing the outside lights, and they're all currently hooked to one source -- that's not a good thing).

I am listening to the soundtrack while I putter around and tidy up!

I just love the violin solo in the rohan theme.

I can't say the same.... My camera is still broken and I don't know if Ramius is bringing his or not. I kinda doubt it, and he is coming here straight from work.
