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.

How cool! I love the statue of Smeagol (that is Smeags, isn't it? The expression gives it away! LOL!)

I wonder what the other statue is and how much they'll want for it?

Oh, I voted too....for BAG END!

I try to put out a virtual breakfast spread every morning Monday thru Friday for the Hole Dwellers. Many hatchets are buried over a meal and no one can argue with their mouths full of food! LOL!

I was torn...Bag-End is a wonderful place, but it would be great to have a flet as a sort of summer home! Elvish music all night, nice and airy, plenty of sunshine in the daytime...

But on a chilly evening when the wind is howling outside, in front of a fire at Bag-End with a nice cup of tea (or maybe something a little stronger) is the place to be!

Well, in their "current" states, I'd be inclined to pick Bag-End as well.

But, since it asks for your "dream home" I took that to mean that I'd be able to do a little rennovation.

So I voted for Moria. It's a family thing.

A flet is nice, but no one should sleep in a tree! You'll roll off you will!

Like clearing out the bodies?

For starters. We'd serve a few eviction notices as well.

Can they put bumpers on hobbit flets?

I still think they'd be awfully cool and comfy in the summer! But then...so would a hole. My Dad's house is built into a hill so that the bottom floor is underground...it NEVER gets hot downstairs. Damp at times, but never hot.

Least the big flamin' guy has been smote upon the mountainside.... He might have been a bit tough to serve papers on....

It is my pleasure! Nothing cheers me up faster than working my brain to figure out the morning munchies!
