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.

That's why I was glad I was still living at home. Luckily neither my brother or my sister suffered any real damage. They were living in an apartment building, real strong I guess. Even the sliding glass doors stayed put.

I hate it when they come at night. You hear all these trees cracking and wonder where they're going to fall. Goes for ice storms too!

I thought of it when there was a brief discussion of Mr. Hinn a month or so back...then the buff Orpingtons came in and I got to name one of them that!

No disrespect intended to Mr. Hinn...the chicken is our best!

I have some of the mix in my cabinet! Maybe I'll pull it out in honor of the Hole Dwellers?

It's sans alcohol, of course...it's just a mix.

I think that's great! I've got a friend with a dog named Hickup .. his registered name is Wild Bill Hickup. I just love plays on words like that. My dog's name is Penny. Her registered name is Makes Good Cents. (as apposed to Makes Good Sense.. lol)..

I am convinced that I would die of cardiac arrest before the thing even hit.

And you live in Florida! Wow!

I thought all you folk in 'dangerous weather country' would be rather salty about these things!

Remember I am originally from Trinidad. I can't remember a hurricane or tornado there ever. The hurricanes usually pass north of us so we may get some rain. Our thing was earthquakes, usually few and far between. That was enough for me to bear. I used to warn everyone in the house about an earthquake a good 10 seconds before it hit. Remember what I was saying about paranoia yesterday? Heh!

Huh - I didn't realize that all the little islands were usually in the clear.

So what did you 'say' when the earthquake was coming?

Not all the little islands just us, Trinidad and Tobago, because we're so close to Venezuela I guess. Barbados and up usually get wooded, or at least a close shave.

Oh something along the lines of "EARTHQUAKE! EARTHQUAKE!" while running madly around the house lol. The earth makes a deep rumbling sound before it actually starts to move. Seems I was the only one who noticed it, even in the dead of sleep (and usually it is IMPOSSIBLE to wake me)! Hah.
