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.

An ounce?? I've downed an entire container of chocolate frosting in one sitting before!

I thought I was gonna have to get your brother to go to your house and spray you with the hose!!
To: HairOfTheDog; RMDupree; All
We're chatting...
To: 2Jedismom
You would dare to interrupt a dream like that with something as rude as a HOSE? - How cruel!

I'm trying to show some restraint. Besides, I might want some hot chocolate with lots of marshmallows later on.

SuziQ, make your whole window bigger (maximize it maybe), and then refresh the page. You can make it smaller once it is loaded, but not bigger.

To: ksen
"I wanted to slap Elrond for saying that."
I sort of agree ksen, but just wait until you have a 20 year old daughter that you love more than life. The thought of losing her is unbearable.
I understand Elrond's feelings very well, even if it was kind of a selfish thing to say.
To: Sam Cree
Arwen is in an impossible situation!

"Arwen is in an impossible situation!"
Yeah, that's true. Tolkien says in his letters that death is one of the major themes of LOTR. I might not have figured that out if I hadn't read the letters, but now it makes sense to me.
Apparently the elves sometimes wearied of immortality and considered death to be a gift that was given to men.
The passage you posted from the appendix is really a tear jerker, IMO.
To: ksen
Good going on the triple naught precious!
To: Sam Cree
We're chatting! Simulchat.
To: Sam Cree
It is... and so is that part of the film...
Much of what Elrond says is in that section now that I read it today...
A whole bunch of people are in chat Sam! I am only half paying attention because I have sensory overload. Trying to do too many things at once!

She had that dream a long time ago and we didn't let her live it down for a whileIt's marked in my memory banks now. I guess she hasn't lived it down yet. ohoh
To: HairOfTheDog
If I were you, I would just slowly back away from Frodo. He's mine, and I am willing to do time over it! Okay Hair, not only LOL, but LOUDLY!!!! Can you hear me way up there???
To: 2Jedismom
An ounce?? I've downed an entire container of chocolate frosting in one sitting before! Oh my gosh. There is a tragedy here. I'm fed up with eating smart - I even always make sure I get some kind of treat a day.... but, I'm not a sweet freak, I'm a salt freak AND I'M OUT OF TORTILLA CHIPS AND I'M READY TO FORGET EATING SMART!!!
I've got quarts and quarts of salsa and NO CHIPS!

Thanks guys, I am sorry that I have to do something else now...eat dinner, strangely at this hour...plus daughter is going back to college tomorrow, so I want to be with her a little :-) tonight.
See everyone in the morning, good night All.
To: Sam Cree
Good to see you have your priorities right, Sam! Have a nice evening.
We're all in the chat, doing a spontaneous chat/view...something like 10 of us!
To: Wneighbor; HairOfTheDog; Penny1; RMDupree
I made it all the way till Frodo was hauling Sam into the boat, but when I crashed, I couldn't get back in. I'm going to bed.
Night all!
