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.

As I was reaching for my book, I stopped since that would be cheating! LOL!!

The movie has mixed things up in my brain too!

You have to attempt the test, without cheating!

Well, I did read through and say "I don't know. I don't know. I don't know..." before I read your answers.

Really, I love machinery in general

Lately, I've been watching "Monster Garage" and "American Choppers" on Discovery Channel. I love watching the true craftsmanship that goes into these awesome machines.

"Junkyard Wars" is pretty cool too. lol

I've watched Monster Garage too. I'm continually amazed at guys who can do the things they do on those shows.

I did give you half credit for some of them: for #'s 3,4,6,7,9, and 10.

And since you are the only one brave enough to submit answers, I'll give you 10 bonus points to bring your grade up to 75. ;^)
