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.

You were succinct then?

Yeah, I think I struck the right balance.

Being your own boss can be fun, as well as nerve-wracking. If you do it, I would recommend incorporating... there are significant tax advantages to it, especially if you file as a subchapter-S corporation.

Goodnight. I'm showered and clean. I feel like an elf again. I'm going to sleep now.

That is one thing I'm grateful for... my Mom is polite to our faces, at least. What she says behind our backs, I don't worry about.

I wouldn't advise these guys start brewin'... the days of the military turnin' a blind eye at fermenters and stills are over...

if they are industrious, they can scrounge everything they need to make some hooch, with the exception of brewer's yeast... and that, is contriband to receive thru the mail over there... for obvious reasons...

I made hooch in SWA... BUT WASN'T WORTH THE RISK...

I wouldn't dream of pullin' a stunt like that in Iraq... they'd get crucified if they got caught...

Everybody get up and clean this place up! We're gonna have company!!

I got this from the chaplain this morning!

How does one read postings from the Hobbit Hole. I went to Free Republic and clicked on The Hobbit Hole, but it seemed to be old postings and I never saw any postings (that I recall) from you?

I'm going to give him the link to Hobbit Hole where I posted his letter and I'm going to give him the link to where we are now and explain how to navigate a bit.

Check your emails, contributors...there's more!

ahhh. I missed out on the seedcake.

It came out all right both times and I managed to get the second one fluffier than the first. But since I had to substitute ingredients, I'm not sure how close I came to the "real" recipe.

Good Morning!
