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.

A lot of the discussion was in the chat room, so there!
To: g'nad
mebbe I need to go back to yest'day's posts fer a laugh... I think you need to read back through all the posts. We talked lots about you.
Most of yesterday's though was in the chat room. We wuz searchin' birth announcements, real estate listings, phone books...
To: SuziQ; HairOfTheDog; Corin Stormhands; 300winmag
did I mention the cats that used to hang out round these parts?...
To: g'nad
I bet yer cats would be a lot easier to shave...now...
To: Corin Stormhands
it's good to be missed... specially durin' a firefight...
you all were on my mind too...
To: Corin Stormhands
you'd have to hold yer nose... and elbow the buzzards out'n the way...
To: Overtaxed
I wondered why my ears wuz itchin'...
To: g'nad
well, I'm specially glad yer back. Vim has gone AWOL and libarian can't be around too much. And this week Sam and ksen are gone.
There was waaaaaaaay too much estrogen on this thread...

I don't suppose the train goes through Pittsburgh...Actually it does. When you get on in Pitt you'll likely end up going through Philly on your way to NYC then South. I don't know though, there may be a train that goes South from Pitt. I know the City of New Orleans goes South from Urbana/Champaign IL to NO, but I'm not sure about the area in between there and here on the East Coast. You could pop on the Amtrak website and check it out. We could take the Acela to DC for a little faster ride, but it's the slow train from there on down to FL. If you bring a book and some snacks, it can be a fun ride.
In 1995, I rode the train from Worcester to Birmingham; it took a little over 24 hrs., and if I hadn't had the worst case of bronchitis I think I've ever had, it might have been a lot more fun! Actually, I was fine on the way back home. Clare was 7 and Joseph was 5 at the time and they had a blast! Joseph wandered up and down the aisles of our car, and when he found anyone with a laptop, started up a conversation with them about computer games.

But the sad part is just how darned ineffective we were...We sounded like Bilbo and the dwarves, figuring out how to rip off Smaug. It might have worked, but it wouldn't have been pretty.
To: g'nad
I wondered why my ears wuz itchin'... It worked!

To: Corin Stormhands
There was waaaaaaaay too much estrogen on this thread... lemme do a car bomb and we'll do sumthin' 'bout that...
To: 300winmag; g'nad
Well, us dwarves don't do pretty. And I'm not so sure about the "might have worked" part...
To: g'nad
mmmmmmm....car bomb...
To: SuziQ
Yeah, I took the "slow train" from DC to Florida once. It's kinda cool; you can put your car on the train and then you don't have to worry about renting.
Are you sure it goes to New York before going south? That sounds really bizarre.

might have worked, but it wouldn't have been pretty. I'm with Corin... but there definitly woulda been a mess to clean up...
To: JenB; SuziQ
Take the last train to Clarkesville,
I will meet you at the station.
You can be there by 4:30,
'cause I've made your reservation...
(bonus to Jen if you get the reference...)
To: g'nad

To: Corin Stormhands
