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.

Good Morning!

It's nice again today but it's supposed to start raining again tomorrow. *Sigh* Not very Frodo-friendly weather, I'm afraid.

Poor Frodo, his journey has been nothing but dismal weather.

Hehhehee, I get to have the 'heat' lamps on today since the boys aren't here. We have a couple banks of incandenscent track lights that we never burn because they heat the room up too much. I'm gonna be toasty warm for a change!

Forecast is for scattered thunderstorms. Maybe I can get a few pictures but it might not be wise to take him for an extended walk through the zoo.

MTV Awards: Gollum Acceptance Video!
6/06/03, 5:14 am EST - leo

Thanks to hard work of Staffer Asfaloth we can now show you a short clip from the MTV Movie Awards followed by Andy Serkis' and Gollum's acceptance video. As most people will know by now (and if not I'm sorry but I'll spoil it for you) Gollum won 'Best Digital Performance'! The Quicktime-video can be found in various sizes for your viewing pleasure: [8.2 MB] [5.6 MB] and [1.03 MB]! But mind you: it does contain some very strong language...

Good morning, 2J!

We're performing this weekend. Just a thirty minute set, but I'm nervous...we won't have a guitarist, and we have maybe thirty minutes to practice between now and then.

I hate last minute preparation! But with my brothers, that's all we ever do...

I know alot of Brits... but they're all either Royal Marines or Greenjackets, so maybe I haven't got the most diverse spectrum of British mukkas, but I alway enjoy their sense of humor... I didn't find them any more refined than Yanks... just some cultural differences... and these are the officers I'm talking about...

Besides any country that has givenn the world Blackadder can't be all that refined...

Blackadder RULES!!!

Some men were born great, some men achieve greatness...and some will always be total gits! - Blackadder: the whole d@mn dynasty...

Jr. ought to give those 3 teammates of his "the business": 8th grade boys who'd rather go to a dance instead of play baseball ain't quite right.

Yep. I was also surprised at the parents who were actually allowing this.

I've been thinking about this subject. I think mostly the modern culprit is carbonated soft drinks, and the rate at which we consume them. Sooo much sugar, and what happens when carbon dioxide in the bloodstream breaks down?

Fats too.

Fats, in the past, were a staple that was much harder to acquire and carefully saved. A lot of work went into processing table fats. Fats are a good thing in our diet. But they should be less available, for good health.

I'd be givin' 'em a mouthful of broken teeth... but that's just me... I never went to a middle school or high school dance sober anyway... couldn't stand 'em...
