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.

Hey... I got an honest precious!

I'm going wandering in dank and dark domains tonight, places that were once full of light and, if not joy, at least silliness. Places I once knew as well as I know the inside of my own head, names of those closer to me than family...

what about Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like "I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should drive...." And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, which was going about a hundred miles an hour with the top down to Las Vegas. And a voice was screaming: "Holy Jesus! What are these goddamn animals?"

Then it was quiet again. My attorney had taken his shirt off and was pouring beer on his chest, to facilitate the tanning process. "What the hell are you yelling about?" he muttered, staring up at the sun with his eyes closed and covered with wraparound Spanish sunglasses. "Never mind," I said. "It's your turn to drive." I hit the brakes and aimed the Great Red Shark toward the shoulder of the highway. No point mentioning those bats, I thought. The poor bastard will see them soon enough....

I don't think we have any firm plans...

That's how the infamous Dwarfmoot came about...

Order some golf shoes. Otherwise,
we'll never get out of this place
alive. It's impossible to walk in
this muck -- no footing at all...

...We're in the middle of a *&$#@& reptile zoo, and someone is feeding booze to these &$*#* things!"

...Look at all the blood! We're going to need some golf shoes or we'll never get out of here alive. Impossible to walk in this muck."

If you think we're in trouble now
wait until you see what's happening
in the elevators.

Yaaaaay! Wonderful news! The Lord always provides (though, He does like to make you sweat it sometimes...).

Laughin' my head off!

I didn't see the movie, but I read the book. Reading the script.... sounds like they followed it pretty well!

You guys wouldn't be interested. And I've found a safe route through the Marshes - a guide who knows the territory.

Gee, it sounds like I'm doing something really cool, doesn't it?

I'm back. I went to get food to eat. Then started cleaning out the fridge. But, made myself tacos out of leftovers. Then Myranda's number 1 boyfriend, the dependable one that I like, came by. He broke a belt on his car and I let him use my pickup last night and he was bringing it back. But, he hadn't fixed the belt yet so I went with him and helped him with that. Now, I'm back having my second taco.
