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 notice that when you get ahead of a muzzle blast even of a shotgun, that it really makes your ears ring. That's got to be a consideration for on horseback, as the horse's ears are ahead of the muzzle.

I am sure their ears would ring. I am thinking it is best to get down and shoot, for everyone concerned!

I think that is one reason the Normans won the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The Anglo Saxons rode horses to the battle, then got off to fight, while the Normans remained mounted.

bad DNS juju

Somehow, that figures. Never trust a TV company to do TCP/IP.

So how does the horse put them in his ears? :)

Seriously, with all that cowboy-shooting-sports out there nowadays, some of it mounted, there MUST be some info out there on horse training. But I don't think there's be time for ear plugs in a real emergency.

She's murder with a six-gun. I've seen it. Better than me, and I'm a pretty *damn* good shot. Lucky for us, she doesn't have a 30-30. But thanks for the good birthday gift idea. :-)

hehehe... that, and some earplugs for Bay.

You're nice Ramius! - (I'll send the $$$)

Bob was just here picking up his dog.... He wanted to look stuff up on the internet..... really painful to watch him try to manipulate a mouse.

I have no idea at all how those earplugs stay in. :~D

Comcast has been goofy all day. They're "upgrading." Sort of like what we get here after a FReepathon...
