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.

Yeah, it's partly hellish, becoming more hellish by late afternoon, with decreasing hell by evening. We can expect more of the same tommorrow, and the next day, and the next...

We went to a concert Saturday and the two opening bands made the usual comment on our humid, hot weather. The next group opened with "It is always a 'priviledge' to play here in Houston." What's funny was when he was asking for help for those dying in Africa, he said "It's always a 'priviledge' to help those dying in Africa".
So I guess doing an outdoor concert in Houston in the middle of summer is like mission work in Africa. My daugher and I got a good laugh from that one...as we tried not to pass out.

I saw. I went over intending to battle trolls too. But, too obvious. He's just here for sport.

Long day huh? I read your report on it. And I thought.... hmmm... I love all day outdoor concerts. But, I think the last one I did was about 8 years ago. So, I'm not sure anymore.

I stayed out yesterday afternoon at a ministy event in Ft. Worth. It was 106! No wonder I didn't feel all "up" to ministry as much as normal.

Yeah, the guy he's sparring with is a friend. But this guy just wants to raise a stink.

And it's purty bad when a dwarf can admit that...

I think it's somewhere around 64,000
(I miss LCS!)

I guess somebody needs to remind folks to get the next thread ready to start after the Implosion!! It will likely be fall before I get my computer -- I have a number of expensive visits to the dentist coming up!

Can someone tell me why TLBSHOW got banned??

He has no finesse at all. And he doesn't even know it!

TLBSHOW got banned because he is a dork, and according to JimRob, had become indistinguishable from a DU conspiracist troll.

Hullo LCS! Thank you for stopping by!

It is a heavy heat...no breeze, nothing. Just boiling hot heat pounding down on you...if that makes any sense. Just feels like an oven out there.

Say! I'm going to get the boys and see if we can fry an egg on something!

Hi LCS. I don't know that answer to your question. Somebody will pop up with it here in a minute.

I'm sorry you're having dental trouble and won't be getting your computer as soon as you thought. Lots of missing you going on around here!

106...I bet those who were to ministered to were not in too good of shape either. I think Mexico has the right idea... sleep in the afternoon and work in the, ugh, cool? of the evening.

Sounds like ya'll might have a slight chance of some late T'storms! Any in the forecast? At least sometimes that heavy heat comes before a good storm.

Are you trying to bring up religion again?

The last of the really cool post numbers is coming up.
