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.

They got lost on the way to the roadblock

Ah, ok! I wasn't paying attention close enough, and missed that! Thanks for filling me in!

That was a good race! Some of the jerk teams got unexpected setbacks, like when Team GirlyMen bought first-class tickets and had to catch a different flight.

I think we're almost due for a non-elimination round. I'm starting to feel fond of the Air Traffic Control guys, so I hope they stick around for a while.

Yes, like the ATC guys here too, but they've been right on the edge of being eliminated twice now, haven't they?

The NFL Wives surprised me... they were first coming out of the race track, but fourth at the next stop. They must not drive very well!

I think they got lost. They didn't take the freeway, if I recall correctly.

Yeah, the ATCs keep coming in next to last. But as long as they don't actually get eliminated, good for them!

I think you're right about the non-elimination round too. Wouldn't surprise me to see one next week!

What are these t-shirts you mentioned. Did you do some transfers of Harry Potter scenes?

When I came to the general back
alley ambiance of the suite was so
rotten, so incredibly foul. How
long had I been lying there? Hours?
Days? Months? All these signs of
violence. What had happened?

But what kind of addict would need
all these coconut husks and crushed
honeydew rinds? Would the presence
of junkies account for all these
uneaten french fries? These
puddles of glazed ketchup on the
bureau? Maybe so, but then why all
this booze? And these crude
pornographic photos smeared with
mustard that had dried to a hard
yellow crust...

We took a phoenix - from the cover of the English version - blacked out the background, and put it on tshirts as the logo on the front. Oh, and I added words that say "Order of the Phoenix". Then on the back we painted "Constant Vigilance" in silver. These are black shirts and they look really neat.

Anyway, on that note, I'm about to head off for bed. I may check in Saturday or Sunday night if my mother makes the little guys go to bed before midnight. Otherwise, I'll be back Monday! Don't let them burn down the Hole, Suzi.

Surreal adventures tend to amuse me!

Am doing ok here... Trying to finish up some things tonight so Rose and I can drive down to San Antonio tomorrow. Going for our regular eye examinations... not sure how I'll be feeling afterwards, so don't know if I'll be posting at all tomorrow.

How was your day? Sounds like you've been enjoying your retirement so far!
