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.

Tolkien's 111st Today!
1/03/03, 10:04 am EST - Xoanon

Yes indeed it would have been Tolkien's 111th birthday today, January 3rd, 2003. Tolkien was born in South Africa on January 3rd, 1892.

Hey LCS! It's nice to "see" you again!

Let's see, the usual suspects are still bashing Elves, the Elves have gained some new defenders, we have some Dwarf bashers now, Hair and I have become PJ-bots, a lot of people don't like PJ's Faramir, Entmoot will be during the week/end of January 9, 2004.

Other than that the Hole has been filled with the usual comings and goings.

Have you calculated how long we have left in our new home yet? ;^)

These gross people (the "couple" on the right of course) use silverware...

I don't see how you rate silverware usage as a plus for the elves...

They don't wear skivvies.

A little air circulation is probably better than crusty snowpants. GROSS!!!

I don’t know half of you half as well as I should like!

And I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve!
