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.

Why wouldn't you be seeing it this year????

Wasn't the release date moved to next year? Or was that just a rumor?

I tried to get into that site to vote for the most anticipate sequel of the year but it wouldn't let me vote.

I couldn't get in all the way!

On the plus side, I think I've settled on naming my character Holly.

That's a good one. Not too cutesy!

then we're having a party, with all sorts of food I like but can't have.

To keep from being tempted by all those good foods, eat something you CAN before you go. Get yourself almost full so that you have no desire for the other stuff. Or can you take an acceptable snack with you to munch on during the party?

WOO HOO! RoTK is at 50%, Matrix Reloaded at 30%, the rest are in single digits each. Actually, with the exception of the Charlie's Angels movie, I'd like to see every one of those sequels, especially Terminator 3. I LOVE action movies, and the Terminator movies were great!

That was an "April Fool's" joke from TORN. As far as I know, the release date is still 12/18 or thereabouts.

Well, we're having a mexican-themed party, so I can eat the meat on Romaine lettuce, but that's just not the same!

I have to go now, unfortunately, with only a page written today. Be back later. Everyone else have fun!

Oh! Now we can see why adventures are so hard on Hobbitses. I didn't want to get up that early either!!!

Yes, I emailed the photo I just took to 2J's home email and she's going to post it on the thread when she gets home. So, you can finally see this critter that you want to come live with you.

Oops. She's out pottying. Gotta go get her now. She's so picky.

It wasn't my trickery! - I just reported it!

Lots of people fell for it! The amazing thing to me is how well you all took the news! - There was very little stomping and gnashing of teeth!

Shoot! I wish I'd seen your reply earlier! I would have told you to make yourself a Taco Salad, with the meat, greens, tomatos, onions, and cheese topped with the salsa. I'm assuming all those things are on your eating plan? No carbs, right?

GOOD GRIEF! The thread is dead!

And my herb/flower beds have less weeds now.

And one of my students has informed me that there's no way I can look 55. On most days that would be happy news.

No time to mourn. I have to get busy and battle orc-weeds again.
