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.

They might be!
At the hill's foot Frodo found Aragorn, standing still and silent as a tree; but in his hand was a small golden bloom of elanor, and a light was in his eyes. He was wrapped in some fair memory: and as Frodo looked at him he knew that he beheld things as they once had been in this same place. For the grim years were removed from the face of Aragorn, and he seemed clothed in white, a young lord tall and fair; and he spoke words in the Elvish tongue to one whom Frodo could not see. Arwen vanimelda, namárië! he said, and then he drew a breath, and returning out of his thought he looked at Frodo and smiled. `Here is the heart of Elvendom on earth,' he said, `and here my heart dwells ever, unless there be a light beyond the dark roads that we still must tread, you and I. Come with me! ' And taking Frodo's hand in his, he left the hill of Cerin Amroth and came there never again as living man.

That's one of the touching and triste scenes in LOTR, I like it alot. Thanks for the quote.
To: ksen
Well, there have to be differences of opinion on Harry Potter. I've found the books cute, harmless, and occasionally surprisingly deep. They're also a really good way to open a conversation with some people I'd otherwise never speak to.
May I ask what your Quidditch problem is? I think it sounds like Calvinball (from Calvin and Hobbes... everyone remembers Calvinball, right?) played in the air...

OT: This actually an observation based on no rigorous pattern of sampling; Its just that this year we've only seen a couple, other years we've had dozens in our neighborhood.
We have about a dozen or so mourning doves that are based out of our backyard, they're fine, same with the cardinals and a couple of downy woodpeckers.(and the ubiquious sparrows and starlings).
Didn't want you to think we were bereft of all our avian friends.

You are right Bear, I will call the flowers, Simbelmynë.
To: HairOfTheDog
"Evermind" would work too... ;)

To: PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain
Yes, I will. I'll pick it up next stop at library or bookstore, or maybe a friend's house.
I'll take note of Vince.
To: JenB
Sure, Harry Potter is great, in its way.
To: Sam Cree
(I like that passage too..... good excuse to quote it!)
To: Sam Cree; HairOfTheDog
OK
Good night.

To: PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain
Your vets scamming you:) Dang it! (although, the cute one, I would not mind!)
To: PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain; HairOfTheDog; JenB
Good night, you guys, I've had it.
See you tomorrow.
To: Sam Cree
I've been reading Harry Potter all evening while waiting for the plummer to leave; the water faucets are in my room and he had to traipse in and out so I couldn't really be online.
They're actually better than I thought I'd find them on this reread. Not really novels for adults, but... I've always liked children's books anyway.
And heck. I've promised to read the new one aloud to my sibs when it comes out, and I'm looking forward to it. But if the author kills off Sirius Black I will be the first to join the lynch mob.

Oops! Good night to you guys (and everyone) too.
To: JenB; ksen
May I ask what your Quidditch problem is?Sounds like you are cussing ksen out in another language! ROTFL!
To: JenB
Yeah, if Sirius dies, I'll be ticked.
G'night!
To: Sam Cree
Good night Sam, good night all.
Good night nobody...Good night moon....
