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.

None yet today, but the day isn't over either!

You are down to only a matter of 4 hours. And your brother doesn't count! neither does your dad.

And yet, she isn't quite as old as us

For this purpose, our ages are close enough. :)

The expert on such things has spoken!

...Considering the 'such things' in question, I am not sure g'nad would really be the one to say one way or t'other...

Heh - After that post, I think we are all outclassed!

I think you may be right.

the cool thing is, he made that bow...

I have no words to express admiration for that. It is more art than a tool. And yet calling it art is an insult. It's lovely. Now, is THAT the osage?

hey, I ain't givin' idle compliments... we all see the strength in others, and it amplifies the weakness we see in ourselves... yuh gotta good head on yer shoulders, and more conviction than most... I don't give idle praise, and I know yuh weren't fishin'... I respect you... if that means anythin'... and that's even after I met yuh...

Evenin' folkses!

2J - That was a truly amazing story. I'm always astounded at the things that happen that way. Very cool indeed!

g'nad and osage - What an awesome moot! And that bow! It's almost enough to melt this Hobbit lass's heart, but the axe stole it first. I can't wait for Entmoot. It'll be so wonderful to finally see and hear you guys in person! :)

Corin - don't sell yourself short, my friend. You've inspired me on more than one occasion with your strength and friendship.

WN - Hey chica! Wish I was in Texas. I am kid-free tonight and would love to be hanging at your place, eating nachos and watching TV with you!

Don't you put me in a box, Corin.... I worded that very carefully! That was not a challenge, only a prediction of experience with the 'things' of other "suches". I hope he would agree that it has been limited.
