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.

Be sure to take some sausage and ham with you on your journey, ecurbh. I hear the food isn't that great up in them flying thingamajigs!

Well, it's about time to shut down the computer. I'll check in if I get a chance.

Namárië!

When the moot hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's amore!

Ramius, if you check in while in Miami, be sure to look up Ruthy and Sam Cree! - They would meet you someplace for pints, I am sure! - They love that sort of thing, and Ruthy has been known to have the poor judgment to sing Karaoke!

That might be a good and doable thing! I'll be there late tomorrow night. Then thu/fri/sat. I'm staying in a hotel in Coconut Grove.

LOL @ karaoke!

Sober, I'll sing Me & Bobby McGee

You'll know I've had too much when I sing Mack the Knife.

My friend Mike has a cover band (classic rock mostly) that'll be playing right up the street at Hooligan's on US1 and Kendall this Friday night from 9pm to 1am. It's a nice place with good food and a great crowd.

If I can get a sitter, I'll be there! I can pick you up if you're interested. It's only a 5-10 minute drive from CocoGrove.

Sam Cree - that's just a hop away from your place as well.

Ramius, I think you have done Mack the Knife! - Or was that me?

OK - You two make some arrangements... ... Miami Moot!

Sam, if you do go out on the town, forego the motor oil mosquito repellant.

Yes, that's close to me, would you keep me posted?

I'm in Fort Myers Friday through Saturday night.

OK. Babysitting was arranged already! Thank goodness for my sister! LOL!!

If you don't like the idea of loud music, we can always hang out and do something else. I just threw that in there since it is a convenient location and pretty fun. I've been to a few of their gigs and they're good!

Not to mention, the girls like to get up and dance..much to the delight of male onlookers! *wink*

I only used it one time, but was amazed at how well it works. I think it may not be great for your skin, though.

You can rent cabins at Flamingo, in the Everglades park. Jeanne and I, when first married, did once with another couple.

There are so many mosquitos there that when you open the door even for a second, 10 or so fly in. So, when you first get in the cabin, first thing you have to do is get a wet towel and go around killing all the mosquitos that are already in there with it. Those places have flattened mosquito corpses on all the walls and ceilings, lots of little blood spots from the mosquitos who were full.

I've never seen a black fly, they sound worse than mosquitos. We have yellow deer flies, which are bad, but attack in fairly small numbers, compared to mosquitos.

They're bad all right. Their one redeeming quality is that they don't bite at night! Also called buffalo gnats.
