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.

Sigh...I want something I can take all my animosity out on!

I still have some wood that needs sawing...

Did you notice that cats cause SARS?

So don't eat cats! Anyway, I thought it was some weasel-type creature referred to as "cat".

So it can happen - it's just too soon to think about it in this particular case

Should I tell you about a co-worker whose dad remarried 2 months after her mother died of cancer? She was not happy!

No car bombs? No Jello shots?

Dunno...haven't talked to him.

I didn't plant the hatchet, at least. Guess I can be proud of that. And yeah, I know you're talking about a different sort o' hatchet...

I imagine he's gonna get a talking to about letting people know if your plans change. Not that it'll do any good.

He should have at least invited his sister.

But I thought for sure that she'd have food in her selective dream.

Man that French toast is sitting heavy. I am not working anyway, I should go weed-wack. Or something. It isn't raining, and I am busy this weekend shaving the cat.

Huh-uh. No thanks!

I actually think it was more of a watch-a-movie-have-a-few-beers sort of thing...not exactly a wild party. Hope it was fun...but I'm still ticked off at his taking it for granted that it bugs no one if he changes plans at the drop of a hat - even plans that include other people.

I actually shared an apartment with him for a few months. I'm still amazed we're both alive. I used to come home and be told that he had told people he'd meet with them in ten minutes, and could I give him a ride over...no thought at all that I MIGHT have plans of my own. He hasn't changed much.

Coming right after a sentence about weedwhacking, that's a little scary.

Seriesly, I wish we could get pictures of this! I keep imagining something like those pictures of that poor cat that went around about a year ago - the REALLY unhappy looking one that was shaved like a lion or something.

You got a letter from the chaplain????? That's wonderful! You are the first person that's mentioned getting anything from him other than the first three contributors got an email from him!

What did it say?? You should share it with the rest of the Hole Dwellers!!
