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.

Bay doesn't look like he's getting over that jump very gracefully. ;-) What a pretty little jumper the pony is, though!

Bay has other talents and fortes.... The pony is beautiful, but too much of a hot-head to do any real work!

It's Hobbes. We luvs Calvin and Hobbes.

It's a very interesting story how I first learned of Calvin and Hobbes... share it with at entmoot. It was a NYC romance... (not really, but one of those magical moments)

"What difference does it make what the chances are if you happen to grab the apple?"

Gamblers think that way!

And we both know... let it be the boss' fault whenever and where ever possible. (Though I had a few that it was never their fault... never... ever... in a million years, no)

Yup. I've had a few of those too.

I learned to avoid any position that would require me to work under a relative of the owners! (In my case, my direct supervisor was the owner's daughter!)

Thanks for keeping me from funkling!

Remind me to ask carton at entmoot about a NYC romance involving Calvin and Hobbes.

Well, I'm making it bigger than it was...

In 1988, I went to see Phantom of the Opera in NYC and behind me was the most handsome med student from Brown University.

We talked before the show and intermission.

He asked me out for a drink, but I don't drink, so we went to the Plaza for dessert.

We got to the Plaza about 11:00 and left about 2:00. We talked... I flirted... he smiled... my heart melted.

Anyway, he was a perfect gentleman and walked me back to my hotel room...

Oh, my!

He brought up Calvin and Hobbes and was flabbergasted that I had never heard of them. I liked Bloom County. He made me promise to read them when I got home. I promised...

I had chocolate mouse and a diet coke. The diet coke cost 6.75 for the tiniest bottle.

He had some kind of berry cobbler and coffee. We listened to a piano player and violinist.

Like I said... once in a lifetime - magical.
