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.

Okey doke. I'm headin' out for the day.

I got out of having to chaperone the prom with the Missus tonite. So I'll have the boys. Going to take them to get some dinner then go to Home Depot and buy a yard vacuum...

I spoke to the managers and they said the deposit is refundable if we decide no.

Now THAT'S a good deal, ksen. That way it could be held, but we could still get the money back if things don't work out as we'd like.

Feed beans to the dwarves at your own risk...

We can just send them out to the beach if things get too, um, aromatic!

The sound of the blender usually draws a crowd!

LOL! Kind of like cats to an electric can opener!

Hey... I need a little more time to work on this Entmoot thing. I brought it up with my mom once but she's shaky about it, and I don't need her giving me a hard time. So... I'm in but I need a little more time here. Unless that's a really big problem.

Thanks!

Now, will you please tell these Elf-haters that Entmoot is a no-bashing zone?

Bad!

I spent all day with a customer/end user and I'm exhausted. Don't tempt me! Fear my wrath!

Well! Getting Frodo shipped was a big deal!

The box he came in from New Line put the shipping up into a really expensive range (like $40-something [gasp!]) and I started grousing about the price! - I said, "NO! there has to be a cheaper way to ship it, we have to send this package all over the place!"

So he said, "What is it?"

"A Flat Cardboard Frodo Standee"

"Huh?"

"We have a web-site".

"We photograph him in places"

UPS man speaks: "So how big is it? - Does the box have to be this big?"

"No, actually, this is the box he came in, but he would fit in a smaller one"

"Can you get it in a box less than 28 inches?"

So we took him out of the box, and measured him. Yes! And UPS man said he would cut the box down to a smaller size.

And.... while Frodo was out of the box, well.... you know! (shame the picture didn't come out better.... there were other people waiting so I dared not delay any more)

So I was able to ship him 3-day for $15. Ground would have taken nine days and cost half that, but I figured I had delayed him so long that I would splurge and get him on his way faster. So, Lil'Freeper, he will be at your house Wed. the 7th!
