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.

I ve been a guiet "Freeper" for about three years

What do you think guys, do we let 'guiet' folk like this in?

I believe we *do* let in most nice folk who like all those things you speak of!

Welcome to the Hobbit Hole!

I think we especially have to let in someone with the good taste to know that Viggo blundered but yet understands the subtleties of Aragorn enough to forgive the man.

(like I keep tellin' ya, Viggo needs to spend some time with me so I can educate him!)

Didn't somebody ask recently if we were trying to take over? GEEs, we got the presidency, what else do they want?

You can also use any 16oz can of liquid to make the "beer butt chicken"...I could get a non-alcoholic one...O'douls or something...

I don't know anything else that comes in a 16 oz can...

2J, I don't know, maybe we need to ask g'nad or winmag but somehow, I don't think those guys care what the box looks like when they get goodies from home. They might have noticed the box the next day, when all the food was gone. Personally, I loved the box. I'm still wantin' to paint my roof.

You know..... the part that bothers me about the meal has nothing to do with the alchohol. The alcohol could only help in my mind......

We used to use a can of Coke when I was teaching kids camping. They think it's fun.

Let me clarify.... the part that disturbs me to the core me about the meal has nothing to do with the alcohol. The alcohol could only help in my mind...... ;~D

I know what you mean, Wn...about them being happy we care about what they are doing. I see it this way...

The guys in Iraq don't have near the supplies the 82nd has in Afghanistan...but they have a lot of support back home...it's still pretty fresh on people's minds. The guys in Afghanistan have a PX and a pretty nice set-up over there now (comparatively), but I'm sure wonder if people have forgotten them.

So sending the care packages, even little ones, small "tokens of appreciation" help the guys alot, but encourage them more than anything.
