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.

My favorite invention is the printing press. I know when some of you were kids, monks wrote out books by hand, but...
Oh, wait, that's not right! I guess it's the computer, then. What would I do without one? I would flunk all my programming courses, that's for sure!

Our local "collection center" takes paper. I just haul it there.
To: Overtaxed
Is that recycling so it is free?
To: HairOfTheDog
Yes. It's a county thing. They say they sell it to recyclers, but from what I read, the only recycling that's cost-effective is aluminum and maybe glass.
To: HairOfTheDog
To: Overtaxed
Yeah.... Some paper has value, but much of it doesn't.... specially newsprint that people have the most of. Seperating it is more trouble than it is really worth, I think, They'll find a use for it eventually. Someone will make a fortune.
To: SuziQ
might even be intimidated by a bunch of chickens. Not on your life! He has a giant attitude. ;)
To: Overtaxed
Gotta love a world where even the dump has a web-page.
To: HairOfTheDog
I just have to remember to take the old paint on the 3rd weekend of the month. :)
To: Overtaxed
Ah.... yes.... Toxics day.
To: HairOfTheDog
I think we chased even WN away with all our trash talk.
To: Overtaxed
Ya know... back in the old days, we didn't have a dump...
To: HairOfTheDog
Hmmm....don't remember what we did before dumps. The contents of our trashcans just disappeared into these big trucks and that was the last we saw of it. :)
To: Overtaxed
I don't remember Pa Ingalls hauling the trash anywhere.
To: HairOfTheDog
The set crew must have done it.
To: Overtaxed
I suppose a lot of it was that everything in Pa Ingall's day was either wood paper glass or metal. The glass things were re-used, the metal things lasted a lifetime, the wood and paper things would be burned for heat. I think plastic packaging was a conspiracy by someone connected to the dump industry.
To: HairOfTheDog
I think plastic packaging was a conspiracy by someone connected to the dump industry.Yeah, that's it. Wonder if all those bones attracted Big Ben to their cabin.

If you guys had seen X2 you wouldn't play with fire like that...
To: HairOfTheDog; Wneighbor; g'nad
I wonder if the cat feels embarrassed today.... Yesterday I think he was too drunk to care. Been there. Done that.
To: Overtaxed; 2Jedismom
You and Corin..... What? What did I do this time?
I have never walked into Sunday School class butt naked.
Walking out may be a different story...
