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.

we could send a little 'take a look at this' press release to TORN, *if* ecurbh thinks it is a good idea

I think that would be fun. Bandwidth hasn't been a problem yet. Lets give it a week or two, so I can do a little more tweaking of the graphics and layout, and get caught up on the postings.

That's the single most useful invention I've ever heard of since the toaster oven.

LOL. My older younger brother would love that. He would think it even much better than the fishing paraphenalia that I will probably be getting him later this month! Actually, it would probably rate a party at which he would need to show it off to his friends. And he would insist that I show up so I could watch the drunken revelry!

Ahh... I see what you mean. Those things are merely to keep people from setting up scripts to automatically process orders on sites. The "code word" is a word buried in a gif that a person has to read and enter into the field in order to proceed. A script wouldn't know the word and can't get it from the gif.

It would appear that there are no reserved seats available anymore. "Lawn" are the only seats now.

Good night! I forgot to mention that a letter from the chaplain came while I was on vacation.

I am not opposed to lawn!

I will buy the Buffett tickets for your birthday if you want to go.

(There were $250 special Buffett party+concert tickets available too, but that is too heavy! - budget thing again)

Special Buffett party????

err... "not be opposed" = "be opposed"

and


"birthdy" = "birthday"

Yikes.

Let's get those! what think?

Geez... that's a lot less than I paid to see the Stones, and the seats weren't even all that great. This has has the look like Jimmy might even be there for some sort of "pre-function". Might be worth it. I'm up for it.

Well, Of course it would be fabulous.... We did a VIP deal like that for Billy Joel in college, and it was a neat way to go.

But I can't even think about that kind of money, I just gave myself a big pay cut and am looking for work! You are not in the same economy I am!

If fishing paraphenalia is what you're after... I just finally had the chance to check out my new reel on some good ol' salmon fishing... it rocks. It's one of these: http://www.fish307.com/fish/shim05a.htm
