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.

[RMDupree]

I found somebody for you. :)

[HairOfTheDog]

Oh no! - How could you do that to me?

[RosieCotton]

Just pinging ksen to your answers...I'm not the Keeper of the Quizzes. My post was my answers in ghost text.

[RMDupree]

Sorry, sis!

She's in Tacoma and so looks so sweet! I couldn't resist!

Here's her link.

[HairOfTheDog]

AND she's LOCAL? - You are worse than just bad!

[HairOfTheDog]

Oh I am furious at you....

They have three dogs I couldn't turn down! Cody

And this old girl too: here

[RMDupree]

I know. It's OK to be mad at me. *grin*

What can I say, Hair. I've been thinking about ya so much lately. :)

I saw Cody but he looked a little too afraid at a year old to go very far with Gidget and Baby Doll is already 8 and she'd be another heartbreak so soon at her size.

But Katie? She's perfect! Just lookit that face!

Do you all smell something?

[Corin Stormhands]

There is not a lot that says "Am I lean-sexy or WHAT?" like a male Doberman at *attention*.

Sigh...after defending your lady-ness on that other thread, I just can't go where that comment wants to take me...

I miss g'nad...

[Alkhin]

Ksen...You're HILARIOUS!!! "Mr. Boyd" - me and my pals at the Pippin thread have other names for the character...I mean ACTOR...some of them rather rated X. Just read an interview with Billy Boyd...was rather heartened to hear that he seems to think the movie character is different than the book character (by inadvertant admission...)...would love to find out what his fav line from teh book character is...

when do you want me to post the answers?
