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.

It'll be a two hander.... Or, more accurately, I think, a hand and a half....

So, when he gets the thing, it'll be a 2 hander, or else.

Must not comment

Well, you probably remember the expression "swordsman," from 2 generations ago. Used to hear it from my folks. One generation, in my case.

they obviously cropped the image of the sword on the poster so that it would fit on the poster without blocking his face...

Gyah! I would HOPE so! You don't wanna hide THAT face!

So if it's a two hander, does that mean he goes blind in both eyes?

Heh...the joys of having a three-year-old.

I walked in tonite from work and he said "Daddy I got you a present." Just now they got back from choir practice and he said "Daddy, we got you a cake..."

Someone at the minimoot is a talented photographer, IMO

I'll tell Clare you said that, Sam. She took all the ones that I obviously could not.

LOL! No surprises for you, Dad!

SSQ and I are going out to eat tomorrow night, using the Gift Certificate my girlfriends gave me on Monday. We're going to The Naked Fish, a great restaurant with a Cuban flair in the next town over.

One of my friends gave me a lottery scratch ticket for my birthday, and I had to ask her how to work the dern thing! I've never bought one in my life. I won $10, too; that was fun!

Clare understands some basics about composition, IMO, which is pretty key in understanding art. Perhaps you could keep an eye on that, Suzi?
