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.

Interestingly there are some parallels between Dwight Eisenhower and Colin Powell, IMO. Both guys had real ability in getting other people to get along. So, I think you're right, it's good to have him there now.

Even if it's only for a little bit at a time

You didn't see my earlier post, in which I issued a demonic threat to be back fulltime in the near future!!

It looks like FR is having some problems with the bandwidth burden today, don't you think? Unless we are getting hacked!

Well, with the situation in Germany/Iraq within my family I bit the bullet and got phone service returned to the house. They aren't connecting me till next Wednesday. Anybody want to chat/view anything that night?

Some binoculars sent by a Hole-Dweller to be sent to "our guys" in Afghanistan.

You are right it is working now! Say, was there a thread on today's White House press conference?

YEEEEEOOOWWWW! MY EARS!!

I flipped on my little TV to see if the news was still on and it was a commercial on the local Fox channel...so I flipped it to NBC and Kenny G was playing on "The Other Half". Hasn't he been deported yet?
