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.

Who knows it would be fun to watch:)

I did not realize they HIRED people to catch chickens. That would be horrible unless they did it at night. Wonder why they don't?

My ex-boyfriend whose mother had all the chickens would get near-free expired bread from stores or bakeries or someplace like that and her chickens came running when she came out of the house with loaves of bread.

Yeah - I had no idea they were put in some large area where they would be hard to catch.... Are these chickens that are layers on 'break' or something? - or young chickens that have been free while they grew up and are now being caught? - I am not sure I understand the scope of the job in the first place!

Yes, thus the ping list. Very simply "Reformed" would be Protestants following specifically the teachings of John Calvin. There's a lot more we don't need to go into. I've already said too much on this thread.

Even the pretty people have moments like that! - She was cute half a second before, and a half a second after, that moment, but she still had that moment!

I still think it looks like she has the neck of a weightlifter.

Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool
Oh no... I've said too much

*rubbing eyes*

Mornin'!

Am I still a bad mother? LOL! I took a look over there and it seems the trolls have been vanquished for now. But they'll be back. Sadly, those kind of folks always feel the need to let everyone know how perfect they are by stepping on others. *sigh*

WN - Congratulations, grammy! A boy! How terrific!! *HUGS*

Hair - it would figure of all the breeds in the world, that the puppy would turn out to be a pit bull. HA! Irony! But it is a shame that it's future looks shady to say the least.

SuziQ - Have a wonderful trip! I do hope you can visit us once in a while, depsite the slow dial-up. We'll miss ya!!

OK, I hear Corin's stomach rumbling so let me get breakfast going.

ENJOY!

Now, wouldn't it be nice if they offered to send some items to our guys? I didn't ask...I am shy about doing that...

You did good with that note. If their marketing department had an ounce of brains, they'd send a truckload of Little Debbies to the troops in Afghanistan. Outback Steakhouse sent over thousands of steak and lobster dinners, and employees to serve it, and got great PR results.
