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.

She's wearing a Brandybuck wig?

My grandmother has Alhzeimer's. I haven't seen her for years. When I left, she was just beginning to forget names; she would run through a whole list and eventually come up with the right one. Now I hear that she usually can't make whole sentences. Hopefully I'll make it home in time.

So... you work for Sirius Cybernetics Corporation? First against the wall when the revolution comes?

We're going to be yellow in a day or two, you know.

ROFL! That is too funny!

I notice the Argonath bookends in the background.

hehehe... No, but something like that. Actually, it'll probably be my FR posts that will have gotten me on "the list".

No... It's Scott Baio in drag. I'm pretty sure that's what bugs me about it.

Ah!! That's it. Hadn't spotted it and it was right there in front of me the whole time.

Ack...spit, gag, spit!!!...who is Scott? ...No, don't answer.

The first Jaws is the only one I ever seen, glad the marine biologist got bit, the jerk survived in the book.

Richard Dreyfus? - You wanted Richard Dreyfus to get bit! - He's a cutie pie!

He is!!!?

I wouldn't have known, he looks like he's always chewing a cud. Liked him better in "Encounters of the Third Kind," when aliens took him away.

Truthfully, his character in Benchley's book was not nice, Dreyfuss in the movie was much more sympathetic and likable, that's probably why they let him live.

Hadn't figured out the "cutie pie" angle. Luckily, I guess.

Yeah, but it's the "mostly" part that always gets me in trouble.

I would think it would be worse to be completely harmless. You'd get eaten or something.

I'm back from church now. Good thing the thread is living again.
