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.

Although the Vikings were at their heyday during something called the Medieval Warm Period, when the earth's weather was alot warmer than it is even today. They had farms in Greenland and stuff, that couldn't exist today.

So maybe their babes looked fine.

Yeah, well, speaking for the wenches of the world, it's nice to see a guy get funblefingered over women nowdays. It's better than the alternative. (not to be politically incorrect or anything)

Maybe they just 'thought' it felt warmer.... Maybe the Medieval Warm Period was similar to 'drunk goggles' at closing time? - After all, they were probably at sea many months....

I don't know Sam. Not that I see the world from a Viking male point of view or anything but it seems the women in Barbados would still be more scantily dressed. If that was the look you Viking guys were going for? (based on the bikini team post)

I've broken down and put in the other chick flick video that my neighbor said I must watch. I never heard of this one but you better get the tissues ready just in case this is not for women alone.

Hmmm... that *would* explain why the wenches in St Johns, Newfoundland, are of such spectacular quality. [not that I have firsthand knowledge of same, just hearsay.]

All this just goes to show, and not to be *politically* incorrect, but there is a certain balance in the world of pirates-and-wenches that is missing in today's world where women are trying to be pirates and men are trying to be wenches. Maybe, somehow, it is just no so?

A Pirate Looks at 40

By: Jimmy Buffett
1974

Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all

Watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam
And in your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen
Most of 'em dream, most of 'em dream

Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late

I've done a bit of smugglin', I've run my share of grass
I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast
Never meant to last, never meant to last

And I have been drunk now for over two weeks
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks
But I got stop wishin', got to go fishin'
Down to rock bottom again
Just a few friends, just a few friends

(instrumental)

I go for younger women, lived with several awhile
Though I ran 'em away, they'd come back one day
Still could manage to smile
Just takes a while, just takes a while

Mother, mother ocean, after all the years I've found
My occupational hazard being my occupation's just not around
I feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown

Coda:
I feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown
