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.

I was aggravated because he wouldn't take out his troublesome relatives.But... but Oberon wouldn't have liked that!
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
But... but Oberon wouldn't have liked that! Okay, maybe I'm clueless, but does he just borrow these names from other literature? Or are Uther and then (from what one of you said today) Merlin the Uther and Merlin? And I'm thinking of Oberon the fairy king from Midsummer Night's Dream, but that doesn't seem to fit.
To: All
Nite all. I was going to be an hour ago, but Luke wanted a snack. I think he's fallen asleep in his pop tart...
See y'all sometime tomorrow afternoon.
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
Oberon needs to get over it. :)

does he just borrow these names from other literature?Well, that's a complicated question. The names could be just borrowed, or there might be some deeper meaning that I'm not familiar with. Zelazny was known for reworking mythologies into fantasy tales. But, in this case, I think the names have only a superficial meaning: in the books, Oberon is the King of Amber. Merlin is a sorceror of mixed parentage, but has no connection to the Arthur legend. And so on.

D'oh! Good night!
To: Sam Cree
Yeah, that's right Sam. I was jus a chile bride!
To: Bear_in_RoseBear; HairOfTheDog; Overtaxed
Whew! Well I think I am finally all packed, except for the last few toiletries that I need to use in the AM. I'm a bit nervous about security though. I hope they don't select me for the full body cavity search.
To: ecurbh
Why would you fear that? - What have you got to hide? ;~D
I hope you get through just fine... I did when I flew... Ramius flies alot and he has never gotten the 3rd degree either. Delays and lines sometimes, but not personal hassles.

What's up Tiger Lilly was a scream. Woody Allen did it with a campy Japanese take off on James Bond. This could probably be very entertaining, in a low brow sort of way (kind of like the flatulence threads).

Ramius flies alot and he has never gotten the 3rd degree either.Well that's a relief. This is my first major flight since 9-11.
To: Scott from the Left Coast
Well, I have missed something then!

I am going to Westboro, MA (in the vicinity of Worcester) to visit family. My dad is from the area, and my grandmother, aunts, uncles and cousins are all there. It's the first time I've been there in 12 years! My parents, sister and niece are coming in from AZ, so its going to quite the gathering.
To: HairOfTheDog
I have to wear underwear? I guess I better buy some on the way.
To: ecurbh
Just for kicks.... get some really goofy skivvies. Nobody wants to do an invasive search on a guy in pink lace undies.
