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.

Why did you sleep in? :~O
I did nearly pass out in the middle of a parade in hot weather on that same trip. It was hot and we had the hottest uniforms. with these hideous black fur hats (like the Queens Guard wears in England) None of us were playing by the end of the parade, just holding the instruments up and trying to keep walking. I had no air to give and I played trumpet!

Just a little placemarker so I remember where I am...
g'night all.
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
Good night Bear! I'm heading to bed too. Vacation Bible School starts tomorrow! The clothes are dry and I just finished writing the chaplain telling him how to get here...
Maybe we'll have a visitor!
Good night all.

Why did you sleep in?Finnicky alarm clock that often failed to go off, parents out of town, bedroom at the back of the house (couldn't hear the telephone when the director called). Quite the confluence of circumstances, really. I have always been kind of paranoid about oversleeping since then.
Those band uniforms are not the coolest things to wear, literally. They tend to be designed more for being out on the field in Oct-Nov. You know, when your mouthpiece causes frostbite when you put it on your lips. Our uniforms had the same big fuzzy hats too, except in blue.
To: ecurbh
I hated those hats!
They got cool (looking) new uniforms the year after I graduated.
...With sensible hats.
To: HairOfTheDog
They got cool (looking) new uniforms the year after I graduated.Ha! Same here. They were being held together with safety pins and wishful thinking those last couple years.
To: ecurbh
My graduation seems to have been a turning point for my school.
The year after I graduated, they moved into AAA, got new band uniforms and won the state marching band competition for the first time, AND our notoriously bad football team won the state championship as well.
To: HairOfTheDog
And we got a new performing arts center complete with an auditorium (no more concerts in the gymn!) and a nice acoustically designed rehearsal room.
Well I'm off to bed now. Got a lot of stuff to do tomorrow.
Good night!

Good night Ecurbh, I am off to bed too.....

"At that age I would have welcomed the opportunity to sneak into the "wrong" movie" To tell you the truth, when I was that age, I don't think there were any "wrong" movies yet. The nearest movie theater was 16 miles from the house anyway. There were only 4 (singles!) within driving distance at all.

Good Morning!
"Walnut rustling" around here is a problem, especially on state land.
If you want black walnuts (to plant or eat) I can send you bags of them.

Morning!
Have a lot to catch up with on the thread. Promises to be some sunshine today...I'll believe it when I see it. Gonna go get uppity with some county commissioner types re my house. Still no permit. *grumble*mumble*.

Kevin that's great. Best way for her to find out if she really does like horses. If she can handle the work that goes with them, then you should get her one:)I joke around with her that I'm betting after she shovels her first load of horse poop that she says, "I think I want a puppy instead." ;^)
I'd love to be able to get her a horse, but there really isn't too much room on our 1/4 acre lot for a horse.

hehehe... five Preciouses in a row would indeed be a feat!I have no idea what word would be appropriate for it though.
I was thinking maybe "Heroic Beyond Measure." Then you could add a little "HBM" to your tag line.

Morning. Sunny here. Off to work (ugh). Wish I were here instead.
Weirdest thing, the power went out just to my room last night! Almost overslept...
