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.

I don't measure my own failure to marry (so far) and have children as a failure to be an adequate person, only mourn the joys that I think I am missing out on.I know exactly what you mean, Hair. That is something I start to comtemplate a great deal as each birthday comes and goes now. It's kind of hard too, when you are the only one in your family still single. Even my baby sister got married before me.
To: Pippin
How did I do?Um.... a 35. But with your 10 point public answer bonus it goes to a 45! Yayyy! ;^)

I have to take issue with the answer to #2.
I thought Frodo was afraid of Farmer Maggot's dogs?
To: HairOfTheDog
Did you know all those by heart or did you look them up?Well, on a couple I did need a little clarification...
To: ItsOurTimeNow; ksen; HairOfTheDog; Overtaxed; RosieCotton; RMDupree
11. Do Balrogs have wings? 12. What is Lembas?
To: Corin Stormhands
12. What is Lembas?Now don't start THAT again!
To: RosieCotton; HairOfTheDog; ksen; RMDupree; g'nad
Now don't start THAT again! I'm a dwarf. It's what I do.
To: ecurbh; ksen
Well, on a couple I did need a little clarification... Ahem! Cheater!

I thought Frodo was afraid of Farmer Maggot's dogs?Technically, the answer would be both. Frodo states "I am terrified of him and his dogs." Farmer Maggot beat him, then set the dogs after him.

Well, on a couple I did need a little clarification...WHAT!? You must give your Matroyoshka doll to Hair.
A little clarification indeed....
