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.

I loved the part where George Clooney is trying to talk Brad Pitt into the job. When he finishes his spiel, Brad Pitt says, "You practiced that speech, right?" Clooney says "Did I rush it? I felt like I rushed it." LOL! We're going to watch it again with the actor commentary tonight. I just LOVE DVDs!
I was wandering outside the Hobbit Hole, and found this place called "Free Republic". Neat place, and I even found this neat cartoon.

What news from the outside world?
Later folkses. Gotta go.
To: Corin Stormhands
I'm home. Almost got caught. A co-worker caught me leaving the building. But, the dean was late and she didn't see me. (she thinks my Galadrial color is un-professional)
To: Corin Stormhands
Looks like the storms slithered south of you and are moving even more south still. OT! Watch out. Not really, they're going out to sea it looks like to me.

"Good but weird" was my reaction to the movie, too.
Tonight.... ah. Pizza for dinner, freeping and reading '1633' until 9ish, then "Lost Universe" tapes until we feel like going to bed.
This is more like it!

Sam... you liked "Otherland", didn't you? The new Tad Williams book just arrived today, "War of the Flowers" and it looks awesome.

You get tornados too? - Good grief. Yep. And, BTW, did I tell you we had an earthquake (near) here last week. I am not making this up. It was a minor one. But my home county is on a major fault line.
We have it all in Virginia!

Rats....the deer found the hostas.
To: Overtaxed
Sounds like venison time to me.
To: Wneighbor
It's not deer season.
To: Overtaxed
You know, that's what I miss about the country. If they're in my garden, they're in season..... because i will make sure nobody sees me.
To: Overtaxed
Besides, when you're feeding something, doesn't that make it livestock? And we can butcher our livestock when we like. And aren't they eating YOUR hostas?
To: Wneighbor
These hostas are right beside my house....I need to get those pictures developed. I have pictures (hopefully) of them pre-munched.
