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.

Or perhaps the Green Mountains? Yeah...if you can call 'em mountains.
Getting darker out there now. Originally they said it was going to be mostly sunny all weekend...now it sounds like we're gonna have yet another wet weekend. Sigh...
To: Corin Stormhands
Are you implying that you don't?Heh...
To: RosieCotton
Originally they said it was going to be mostly sunny all weekend...now it sounds like we're gonna have yet another wet weekend. When (not if) it rains tomorrow, that will be nine Saturdays in a row.
To: Corin Stormhands
Are you implying that you don't?Not at all!
It's just that some of us are aware of it, and some aren't. :)
To: HairOfTheDog
That's a bullfrog...and we do have them here. They live in wetland or pond areas and come "plopping" out into the open every now and then. They're big fellas.
To: RosieCotton
Getting darker out there now. Here too actually... the weather "predictors" are saying massive thunderstorms all across Texas today. Waiting for the tornadoes, floods... mass hysteria!
Don't know if we'll get the cats and dogs living together, though.
To: RosieCotton
Cool, Rosie, your link has a sound file.
To: My back yard
I'm looking forward to seeing him in the role of UlyssesWhat movie is this?
To: Corin Stormhands
Some snot- nosed yankee NebraskanI'm not sure Nebraskans qualify as Yankees, do they?
Say, did you know that the University of Nebraska was dedicated to knowledge? That's why they all have that big "N" on their hats...
To: ksen
Yeah, but as Sharpe he is an unambiguously good guy.Absolutely!! You need to read the books, ksen. Sort of formulaic, but interesting historical fiction, nonetheless.
To: Bear_in_RoseBear; RosieCotton
If any one offers you a blue or red pill.......TAKE THE BLUE PILL!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure Nebraskans qualify as Yankees, do they? Since your an immigrant (and a welcome one), you probably aren't familiar with the southern definition of yankee. That would be anyone who hails from outside the boundaries of the "traditional" south. I tried to explain that, but he didn't like it.
"N" for knowledge...heh heh heh...
To: SuziQ
I think it is titled "Troy".
To: Corin Stormhands
Some snot-nosed yankee Nebraskan* doesn't like it when I speak "suthern." Just tell him to get a BDG (Big Damn Grip) or give him 2J's line!
To: ksen
You don't wanna know how deep the rabbit hole goes?
To: ksen
TAKE THE BLUE PILL!!!!!!!!Matrix Reloaded Spoiler Warning!
You won't know this, because you haven't seen the second movie yet... but when you do, pay close attention to Neo's meeting with The Oracle. During the conversation, she offers him some candy, which he takes... then she takes one for herself with a comment along the lines of, "I just love candy."
The candy is in the shape of a red pill...

(Don't know if it means anything, just thought it was cool.)
To: SuziQ
BDG - heh. I like that.
I'm pretty well committed to just annoying him now. It's my job.
To: RosieCotton
Ooooo....there's some blue stuff up in the sky.
To: SuziQ
Here's more about it.
The big-budget "Troy," based on "The Iliad," Homer's epic account of the Trojan
War, sees Eric Bana star as Hector, the prince of Troy, opposite Brad Pitt's Achilles.
Orlando Bloom plays Hector's brother Paris, and Rose Byrne stars as Briseis,
a Trojan slave girl who is the cousin of Hector and Paris.
To: Corin Stormhands
That would be anyone who hails from outside the boundaries of the "traditional" south.Ahh, thanks for the explanation! I had the (apparently mistaken) impression that it referred to northern folks east of the Mississippi. Don't know why.
