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'm grateful we have no Bombadil in here. I don't think we could handle the ego of having the "Eldest" among us! LOL

Wait a minute!!! Isn't that SamCree? The eldest? At least he sure talks like he thinks he's eldest. Not the ego though.

Could be, but Eru never physically inhabited Middle-Earth itself so it seems unlikely that Tom is either Eru Iluvatar itself or some decendant. Tom is mentioned by Glorfindel at the Council of Elrond. "Last as he was First" and all that.

And yet, one must wonder where you have been all this time and why in heaven's name you haven't visited us before!

Truth be told, I didn't really know y'all were here. :^)

Well, what do you think I was doing? Er, uh, I mean...

Now that Ruthie mentions it, that pic could be Photoshopped... I see some bluriness where there shouldn't be bluriness.

But as to whether it's physically possible, I would say, "Yes."

Oh No! Well, we're glad you found us.

There was one of the Daily Tolkien articles that put forth some speculation about Bombadil actually being Aule. I found this suggestion repulsive at first. And then, the most I pondered and studied on it the more possible it seemed. Not saying I have decided to concur with that opinion for sure yet, but it has it's merits. The Maia was my original view. So, I'm still teetering between "only" a Maia and Aule.
