The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!

[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.

[HairOfTheDog]

You'll find the new thread right away. I will lead you there! On safe paths...

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Thank you Suzi...you are so kind.

I think this process will take some time to bear final fruit and I'm really just at the beginning, but I am encouraged by the early responses.

[HairOfTheDog]

I wouldn't move it till I know y'all are ready!

[2Jedismom]

Because I need them to get my degree. This summer I have to take British Writers I. Oh, boy! Beowulf... I'm numb with excitement.

Like I said, Mom gets more shrill with every month, and Dr. E is a pompous windbag... I've never had any trouble with rwkansas... hopefully, he isn't learning any bad habits from the rest.

[carton253]

So, you must be a Smeagol fan too! Of course, he's my favorite character...

Ksen, to your couple comments in particular... I did not convert my professor, but if she does convert, she'll be a Calvinist ;)

LOL, well I'm glad that professor treated you right and that you were able to get an 'A' in her class.

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".

That's pretty neat.

Well, I hope you had a good day of classes and work by the time you read this.

BTW, check your Yahoo mail......
