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.

Wneighbor's son-in-law after this ends with the 82nd Airborne.

I think it is a wonderful idea. Send them lots of grapejuice concentrate, and sugar. hee

I'll post a pic, with Winmag's permission...

On the guinea front; got three chicks to put with the keeks... chickens are calmer than guineas, and "herd" easier... the guineas tend to follow their lead... got three Barred Rocks, a little bigger than the guineas... we were hopin' that they' be okay, what with the ninja guineas outnumberin' 'em and all... there were a few tense moments at first, but they're gettin' along fine... went back a few hours later and they were all in a pile nappin'... fer some reason I started hummin' Ebony and Ivory...

the guineas are already gettin' their wing feathers... still aggressive as heck...

Went over to the site and did some "speed reading" since I have to go. It looks great. Will go back for a more indept viewing. Read this from the site and thought it was good.

"Ultimately, good wins, and if you read the book, you know that," Wood said. "But the beauty of Tolkien and the way the books are written is that, yes, ultimately good triumphs over evil, but at what cost? That's what's great about the third film. Our heroes have won but have also lost massive pieces of themselves and will carry those scars for the rest of their lives."

Okay, I went and read the replies to this and now I'm crying again. I am pretty - i dunno - words......

But, let me throw in my 2 cents. It is really so awesome that this suggestion has come forward and had agreement but one thing ---

...remember, one reason we adopted the 82nd was because the guys in Afghanistan were kind of getting lost in the Iraqi shuffle. And for all we know, our Renegade Chaplain may provide us with information about the successors of the 82nd. Don't ya'll think we ought to see if that happens? I mean, I would love to have all this happen to Tom and his platoon.... and I know Tom would be ecstatic for his guys too.... and he is sharing his packages with a lot more than his platoon because of Lawn Chair Club (LCC) but, I also don't want to be selfish.

Ahem! I would just like to say in defense of my homeland that we are not inbred! - We are a lot of things, but inbred is not one of them!

That Arby sauce was a stroke of brilliance in my opinion!

BWAAAHAHAHAHA!!!!

That Arby sauce was a stroke of countertop cleaning. I saw it while I was going to get styrofoam packing peanuts. "Hmmmm. I can get rid of that Arby's sauce." And a hit was born.
