The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!

[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.

Well, Penny just started wandering farther and farther afield, but she is still sortof around, She checks in from time to time, she says, feeling safe knowing that we are still here if she wanted to come back!

She's still planning on coming to Entmoot, at last word....

[Wneighbor]

Well, I'm glad to hear that at least. We will all get to meet her then. Did you remember to put her on the lists o Csar of them?

Southern Cross Lyrics

Crosby Stills & Nash

Got out of town on a boat
Goin' to Southern islands.
Sailing a reach
Before a followin' sea.

She was makin' for the trades
On the outside,
And the downhill run
To Papeete.

Off the wind on this heading
Lie the Marquesas.
We got eighty feet of the waterline.
Nicely making way.

In a noisy bar in Avalon
I tried to call you.
But on a midnight watch I realized
Why twice you ran away.

Chorus
Think about how many times
I have fallen
Spirits are using me
larger voices callin'.
What heaven brought you and me
Cannot be forgotten.
I have been around the world,
Lookin' for that woman/girl,
Who knows love can endure.
And you know it will.
And you know it will.

When you see the Southern Cross
For the first time
You understand now
Why you came this way
'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from
Is so small.
But it's as big as the promise
The promise of a comin' day.

So I'm sailing for tomorrow
My dreams are a dyin'.
And my love is an anchor tied to you
Tied with a silver chain.

I have my ship
And all her flags are a flyin'
She is all that I have left
And music is her name.

Chorus
Think about how many times
I have fallen
Spirits are using me
larger voices callin'.
What heaven brought you and me
Cannot be forgotten.
I have been around the world,
Lookin' for that woma/girl,
Who knows love can endure.
And you know it will.
And you know it will.

So we cheated and we lied
And we tested
And we never failed to fail
It was the easiest thing to do.

You will survive being bested.
Somebody fine
Will come along
Make me forget about loving you.
At the Southern Cross.

She was on the ping list, but she hasn't gotten on the list to reconfirm yet! - Several that are being shy about recommitting, but I am just giving them time to come around!

We picked them up earlier today and yes we have pictures...we will post those for you sometime this evening. It has been a busy day. I spent the day at a friends for a play date, while mrnad ran around picking up the keeks...among other things. I must go as the littlest one is having dinner and then we must do the same.

Nice. I could sure use a few turns on the ol' winch handle.

Not a wench handle, though. That boat seems unencumbered by wenches. Sad, that.

[HairOfTheDog]

That boat seems unencumbered by wenches. Sad, that.

Well, it is a 'love lost' song....

[JenB]

Maybe the wenches didn't like the singing?

[HairOfTheDog]

Well, this wench digs the singing

[g'nad]

here they be... we got 10 guineas... all made it home alive... fer now...

like all babies, pretty much all they do is eat, sleep, and poop...

[Ramius]

Wenches and singing go together!!! Singing, wenches, Ho ho ho and a bottle of rum and all that!!!

[HairOfTheDog]

Are you sure those ones with their legs all sprawled out are just sleepin' g'nad?

[g'nad]

DUKE (V/O)
We had abused every rule that Vegas
lived by -- burning the locals,
abusing the tourists, terrifying
the help. The only chance now, I
felt, was the possibility that we'd
gone to such excess that nobody in
the position to bring the hammer
down on us could possibility
believe it.

[g'nad]

well... last time I checked...

[Wneighbor]

That boat seems unencumbered by wenches. Sad, that.

So, are you out trolling for wenches at this embassy again tonight?

Any contests there?

[HairOfTheDog]

You might wanna keep checking them..... They look like they've been in the juice.... ;~D

[Ramius]

Yup. Little quieter tonight, thankfully. Quiet is good sometimes.

HEY RAMIUS! GOOD TO SEE YA!
