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.

Well, we have prolly a little over 37 days to decide! Some other appropriate short quote would be fine too... Doesn't have to be the chapter titles.

Could be "A Long Expected Party" for that matter.

Like I said, there may be different kinds of rattlers and coppers, I don't know. I just know that the ones around here are not really deadly, I mean they are serious and you don't want to get bit by one. But when we first moved here I asked the doctor about them, I had 2 small children. He said in case of snake bite just go to the hospital calmly. DON'T cut x's on the bit and try to suck the poision out. More people have been crippled that way then saved.

Then as I said since then I have heard of several people getting bit and it not being THAT bad. They got sick yes, but were fine within a week other then some swelling.

Heh, that would be a good title for the thread leading into Entmoot.

"A Long Running Party" is a more accurate description of the thread...

I think I'm going to bed... have a good night.

Well, that is good to know anyhow. I won't panic about it.

I had a neighbor that had both Guinea Hens and Peacocks. Now, a lot of noise came from that place, but I thought it was all the Peacocks. They make some horrid noises!

That is a nice 'accurate' looking map! (you didn't like the cartoon map! :~O)

How do we make little arrows that show the route he went that look good? little dotted lines maybe?

I like the little lines.... they'll be criss-crossing all over by the time we are done, but it'll be fun. How about instead of the arrows as markers, there were little tiny gifs of the Flat Frodo? :~) Maybe they could be linkable to that chapter in the journey?

Heh... I ask.... too much.

I am goin' to bed, have a nice night ecurbh! - See you tomorrow!

You know, if we average 500 posts/day, we should reach 60,000 in 37 days.

*Sniff*

I miss LCS!

I like the map, but shouldn't the lines reflect the cities he traveled thru to get there? just a thought...
