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 am currently trying to train my chicken to go into thier coop at night. I've been told it can be done.

We have been haveing trouble with thing killing our chickens at night, saw a coyote in the yard one morning last week, so we built and entirely enclosed pen. I was told to leave them in it for a week, then they would come back to it. My roosters were seeming very depressed, so yesterday, after 5 days of being in it, I turned them out. 3 came back, the rest roosted in their old spots, so I was out there catching them and putting them in the pen. I'll leave them again for another 5 days or so, then try again.

These may never learn to come back to the pen, but the ones I am hatching now will, because that is where they will be raised from the beginning. Makes a difference.

LOL,

BTW, is a "blog" the same as a web page? Is this Hobbit Hole talk? I am almost afraid to say it here, but I have never read or seen the movies, LOTR, or Hobbits....do I get to stay?

"Blogs" are "weblogs." Sites set up for self-publishing. Alhkin is a pretty active blogger. I am just getting back into the game after my other website companies imploded last year.

Is this Hobbit Hole talk?

No, blogs are not exclusive to the Hobbit Hole.

I am almost afraid to say it here, but I have never read or seen the movies, LOTR, or Hobbits....do I get to stay?

I can't breathe! I can't breathe....gasp...gasp...

Okay, so we won't run you off if you haven't read the books or seen the movies. But we'll keep nagging you until you do.

You'll just have to rent the video or DVD if you have a player! Be sure to get the Extended verion of Fellowship of the Ring! The added scenes make it an even more interesting story than the theatrical release was!

especially if you haven't read the books. situations are more fully explained and the characters are more fully developed in the Extended Edition.

Very serious tidings!

I think this is a job for 2J!

2J.... you and Becky need to arrange an emergency "Get With the Program Moot"!

Yes, thinking about it, this may require an intervention. Who else is within driving distance?

I thought you and Mack rented Fellowship of the Ring and fell asleep watching it.

Wait, now that I think of it, that was probably Dave.
