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.

Well, most kids nowadays just look like railroad bums. This kid (I'm guessing he was maybe 20 years old) was just so well groomed, very dark (possibly black) short hair with clear blue eye. He stood maybe 6'2", but wasn't skinny. He probably just had on a tee-shirt, jeans and boots, but I don't know...his eyes shocked me so.

Because it was only two posts. A misdemeanor, not overly egregious or extraordinarily shocking to the conscience.... close, but not quite.

Orc Poop!

Sin is sin. There are no gray areas.

Know what I've learned about being saucy at interviews? They want you.

Just think of all the money I could have made if I had let loose my inner b*tch!

Another thing about this kid...he looked me square in the eyes when he talked to me...like he knew what he was doing and assumed I knew what I was doing too. He spoke respectfully to me. And he laughed and took out a dead chick and said "Oh, this one's 50% off!" then courteously tried to hide it so it wouldn't upset my kids! Josh sneaked around and got a good look at the dead chick and we all laughed about that.

It is possible, that she is a Cave Troll, an Orc, or perhaps a very corrupt Dwarf.

None of those creatures you mentioned are THAT hideous. Helen Thomas could frighten away Shelob just by smiling. Her face could freeze a ringwraith's already-frozen heart.

He is a very rare speciman indeed!

I find myself in shock whenever I encounter a teen/young adult that doesn't say "You know" or "like" a dozen times in a sentence!

The only creature that could ever be compared to Helen Thomas is Medusa, whose face turned all who looked upon it to stone...even the Kracken!

HA! I sent it to TORN!

THEN I got a reply from the author!

Hi ________! Thanks for taking the time to write.

I guess I was talking more about appearance...kinda like this one:

I like your suggestions though. I was trying to think of what she looked like, and Hobbit popped into my mind, for some reason.

Have a great week.

Doug

So I responded this way:

But Hobbits are such nice pleasant folk! - Cheerful and friendly!

~ Heh.... I let some friends know about your article. You may be swarmed by offended hobbits.

Have a nice day!

ACK!

NEXT reply from the author:

MY QUOTE: > But Hobbits are such nice pleasant folk! - Cheerful and friendly!

Helen Thomas is too, kinda, but in a psychotic way. Hence the...ah,
we're talking in circles here!

Thanks for putting the word out to all your fellow 'hobbits'. Haha!
Have a good one, and thanks!

RELEASE THE KRAKEN!

I loved this movie as a kid! I still watch it once in a while, but it should be redone.
