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.

That's what I thought, but they took it down...they must have thought it through a bit.
This is gonna be good! Oh my stars...I can't believe my eyes.

It'd be a shame if people got hurt when that thing comes down!Saddam doesn't seem to be much of a fighter these days. Biggest risk might be that he might fall on you!
Heh.... Now our soldiers are helping them out. This is a tough statue! Tried a bit of symbolism with our US flag over his head... but someone decided against it. Now we shall see if the big tank can pull it over.
Will be a little embarrassing if it can't!

Yeah, probably too much of an image of conquering. They should have taken the old Iraqi flag and done that. I just heard that the US flag is being waved with the Iraqi flag...
To: Dawntreader
A man is standing on top of the American tank that is fixin' to pull down the statue waving the Iraqi flag.
The symbolism is really something.

Hearing these reports is one of the things that makes me glad I have a well-developed imagination. I can see it the way I want to see it!
To: Dawntreader
WOOHOO!! They are putting the Iraqi flag on the statue now.

Saddam doesn't seem to be much of a fighter these days. Biggest risk might be that he might fall on you! OH HAIR!!! ROFLMAO!!!!
To: Dawntreader
Now it's on there.
The flag has a bunch of praise for SH on it, from what I understand...
I'm gonna go watch this with my boys...

The crowd appears to approve of the Iraqi flag being on it. Democracy already!

They are waving people away from the statue now....should be soon!
To: HairOfTheDog; 2Jedismom; Dawntreader; Wneighbor; ksen
Saw a picture on another thread. I guess it's wrong of me to hope that once the statue is down they'll go for the mosque behind it, huh?
;-)
To: 2Jedismom
Heh.... They can't figure out what to do with the flags! - Now the Iraqi flag is comin' down. Don't want to pull either out of the rubble I think...

The tank is moving!!!!!
To: Corin Stormhands
Yes, Corin, it would be wrong for you to hope that! They all have guns in that crowd, if you noticed. I am just pleased that they appear to have enough range safety training that they aren't just shooting at the thing!
I hope that tank has the horsepower to pull this sucker down!

LOL Fox News guy (Shepard say it?) "That gesture of his has now become a goodbye wave." LOL
To: Dawntreader; All
Is there a place I can go to watch this on the web?
To: 2Jedismom
The flag has a bunch of praise for SH on it, from what I understand... As much of an egomaniac as he is, I am amazed it doesn't have his picture on it.

To: Dawntreader
IT'S COMING DOWN!
