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.

It's a tourist attraction in Port Townsend.

But wasn't it supposed to be on the East coast? I was thinking the Naval War College in Rhode Island? Am I wrong? Seamus?

Dirty Dancing was filmed in my home county at Mountain Lake Resort. It was supposed to be the Catskills. Biggest thing that ever happened to Giles County, VA. (population 17,000)

Transplanting irises. These folks let their rhizomes dry out a bit before planting. It seems they're susceptible to rot.

You did post the 'David' sportin' the smiley.

What do you have against the arts?

At least you didn't point out the happy hooter girl...

I want to ask you something.

I've pretty well got together a little toast for the wedding couple, who are in their 20's. Since it's got some LOTR references, I wondered if I post it, would you say if you think it's OK, or if you have a suggestion?

Leaving in the AM for the trip.

Thanks. That'll help. They'll be out of the ground at least a few days just for the whole transport from NC part. I just gotta figure where to put them.

Nope.... it was set at a theoretical Navy OCS school in Washington state.... Remember the girls coming over on the ferry from Seattle to get Navy guys? - They called them the "Puget Sound Debs"?

I want to be a Puget Sound Deb.

Hi, Jen. A couple weeks, I think.

We were in the keys, sailing and water skiing the other day.

I picked up the Tailchaser book to read while I'm travelling. Is that the right one?

That one's pretty good - like Watership Down with cats. The new one is called "War of the Flowers" and it's in hardcover.

I remember now. It's been a few years...that was before Debra Winger got all those dying roles. She plays a good sickly woman.

Any idea which one of the "resume" disks is the most current? grumble, grumble, grumble...
