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.

Uh, maybe we can talk about the movies?

What a novel idea!

...I know what you mean. Bashing is fun!

Thanks 2J!

As long as we stay away from the Elrond/Gandalf scene. :)

Looks like he's blowing too hard.

I've got a freepmail from Rosie. The whistle has taken her...she's done something very bad but didn't elaborate.

Care to make a guess?

So they made him a fake pennywhistle to hold? Wouldn't it have been cheaper just to buy one?

Ruthy, I get to see the movie for the second time today... I only saw it at midnight before when I was almost hysterical with anticipation...

Anything in particular I should look for?

I think the tassle looks kinda cool! I'm considering puttin one on my Hoover...which is the most expensive whistle I have...but it would look better on something like a Shaw...all metal, you know...

Actually, I think she might have bought a new one...

She'll need it...I put Starkindler in with her cookies.

The saddlehorn flub when Gandalf & Co arrive at Edoras - Ian grabs it and let's go real quick, but the impression is left on his robes.

Let's see, what else?

Oh, can you try to remember what Smeagol is singing at the Forbidden Pool. Something like "In the pool, it's nice and cool". It's driving Glen and I nuts to try and remember it, and we are trying to not see it again until mini moot.

What else? Hmmmm...I'll think a bit on it.

I put out a big spread this morning. There should be some still there. :)

Since it's just the 3 of us, should I crack open a bottle of the ol wineyards? It's a very good year!

I suspect it's a new, higher end whistle...I'm dying to know which one she got!!

The first litter of poodles was born last week...there are two more litters due and then my mom can pick out which ever one she wants.

We're all in a tizzy around here!
