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 am thinking of moving Flat Frodo and the Chaplain pages to a new subdomain of "http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net". Or maybe "http://journeys.the-hobbit-hole.net". What do y'all think?

I'm in definite favor of some "special" subdomain to get people to those particular pages. We should include a small "certificate" with HH and memeber information, but that paper won't last long. But that URL engraved on the knife will always be there, and the soldier has enough info right there to look us up.

Annie Lennox To Sing For ROTK!
7/21/03, 9:56 am EST - Xoanon

Sven writes: I've just been watching an interview programme in Oz called "Enough Rope" with Andrew Denton. This evening one of his guests was Annie Lennox of "Eurythmics" fame. It was an engaging interview but of particular interest was her mention of spending the "last couple of days in studio" recording music that she's been invited to work on for "the next Lord Of The Rings film..". Looks like we'll be hearing her beautiful voice in ROTK. Can't wait!

She does have a beautiful voice...

Sean was a cutie pie at the Comic Con place! You know what they say about hats... Elijah Wood needs help getting dressed in the morning.

OK - I think whatever subdomain you come up with, the idea of giving them that addy instead of trying to guide them here is a good one! We are harder to find here, for a stranger.

There could be a link right at the top of that page to the current thread... (To find us click here!) and that would be easy to update when we change threads... Or there could be an easy to find email address for those that are too shy or too confused to register here before saying hi. ecurbh could get that and be able to either report it, or help them get registered.

Good morning to everyone, I hope you all had a great weekend. I tried wneighbor's recipe for honey cake yesterday. I'll let you know how it came out when we cut it later today.

Yeah sure. Tell me that again when you've had Comcast for six months...Seriesly, don't know what happened. Tried to pull down the url from the address bar and got the "verbotten" but when I typed it in, no problem. They "upgraded" our email here. I still can't get in there this morning.

I was cut off from communication. They actually wanted me to talk on the phone...

LOL!

I fully intend BTW, to read and find out ~nothing~ about Kobe Bryant. If I could undo knowing his name, I would!

Good, ecurbh.... There is virtue in both breakfast and a shower. I am headed there myself after another cup of coffee.

I think I am going to "look for job" today.

I was just readin' a Kobe thread...

Same old story. Too much money. Too much fame. Too much opportunity.

End of story.

Seriously, I just get tired of how America, and FReepers as a subset, seem to jump into and soak up every last detail of anything involving sex, rape, grisly murder.... All the while claiming to be really offended by the subject of their own fascination. We have had one after another lately, Van Damm, Peterson, Kobe.
