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.

Do you know any good wedding toasts that I can use in a couple weeks?

Coming from the wedding when I married Myranda's dad:

"Everybody's got their own weirds, you stay married a long time if you learn to live with 'em."

From a friend who'd been married a little over 20 years.

This is hilarious:

Bride-to-be is "mortified" by goofy engagement pic in newspaper

I like the guy's "spunk" if she dumps him.

OH yeah! - that reminds me of my other favorite:

Sage advice: "Remember, you can be right, or you can be married."

I'm sorry. If it makes your day any better, yesterday and tomorrow I go in at 8AM and don't get to leave until 9:15 PM. I get 3 hours off for lunch, but it's still a very long and tiring day. That's why I take off on Wednesday afternoons.

Well, ah, thank you to all those who offered me early birthday wishes, and I'm glad I'm not the only one who wanted this to be Thursday! Now I have your nice greetings to remember tomorrow, since I can't always check in before work!

Ksen, to your couple comments in particular... I did not convert my professor, but if she does convert, she'll be a Calvinist ;) Uh... and I think there was another comment... I'll get back to you.

Ah, right. The Communist comment. I'll have you know that May 1st - May Day - was a holiday in Europe centuries before communism. It was a spring festival and people would leave baskets of flowers on their doorsteps.

My English grandmother used to say that she went to church the day I was born and announced that her first grandchild had come "in a May Day basket".

This looks like fun, if a little geeky. :-)

I found the link from a Tolkien re-enactor page.
