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 managed to shoot out 2 floodlights in a tree with one potato, this caused a rather funny chain reaction that led to a "ghost" story.

Sam, you promised not to be a menace to the neighborhood with it!

I always thought that Erkenbrand and Dernhelm were the coolest Rohirrim names.

I always liked the sound of "Helm Hammerhand".

Hmmmmm....are you sure you're not a dwarf?

I'm dwarvish in that I like doing crafting stuff, but those things tend to the artsy like flower arrangements and jewelry (sounds positively elvish, doesn't it?) But I guess I'm more hobbity in that I love cooking, eating, hanging around home and general merriment!

I didn't say Dawntreader HAD to read the whole thread, but you must admit, it does give a newbie a good idea of the kind of folks who inhabit the Hole! ;o)

I also loved "you're late. You look terrible!"- Definately a line written for the fans that have been in this gritty Aragorn vs. pretty boy elf debate!

I liked that too. Partly because it kind of plays on the contrast between the two, and also because it just shows how cool Legolas is. Here's Aragorn back from the dead, more or less, and he doesn't bat an eyelash!

I think Jen's mom grounded everyone...a post-holiday depression thing, I think.

My daughter who is 17 uses a 20 GA automatic. She likes it and it's good for her.

Hi! I've only been here a couple of weeks now myself. Hope you like this as much as I do.

(I cheated and lurked for a long time and knew I really liked everyone so much that I had to try and jump in.)

Very nice. What kind of low G is it? My brother got a super duper fancy low G for Christmas - from North Carolina, actually! A place called Celtic Trader. He met the guy at a bagpipe festival in GA and has been wanting one of his whistles ever since, so he was delighted. It sounds very nice.

"Did you mean TheOneRing.Net? - I am not even aware of a message board at Lordoftherings.net. I have never registered over there. I don't know anyone here who does. I find their board software to be really horrid to drive around in, so I haven't read it much!"

No..it's on the official movie website..lordoftherings.net It actually takes you to a Netscape board. I don't like the format, but have been learning lots about the books as I haven't read them yet. Once in a while you get the "I love Legolas" post, but a lot are very insightful lol. (Not that I don't love Legolas mind you ;-)

So does that mean you are an elf-friend! - Welcome!

I should check out the other board you speak of... I didn't even know about it. Though I get my fill here!

I have been known to do a little bit of Legolas admiring of my own!
