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.

That's what I get for sleeping in so late.

What's the line Glenn Close says to Jeff Goldblum at the end of The Big Chill? Something like:

"If you want to keep up with drama, you have to get up earlier..." (that's a very bad paraphrase...)

We've had a visitor during the weekend. Some friends went camping and left their pet bird with us. They weren't sure what kind of bird he was because he just showed up in their yard one day, so Clare and I went to the pet store to get some more 'bird cage litter' for him. We found a cage of birds just like Carlos and found out he's a 'Peach Faced Lovebird". They're also $70 each!!

I've let him out of his cage a couple of times this weekend. Just a minute ago, he was traipsing across my keyboard! Here's a picture of him sitting on my shoulder (and he left me a gift, what a sweet little bird)

Kevin Costner. He was so nice about having been cut out of the movie that Lawrence Kasdan put him in his next movie as a wild cowboy. I'm trying to remember the name of it right now, but I can't! It gave Kevin his first big break in the movies.

I don't think he has.... he's been checking his old place and the new one, did the address forwarding thing at the post office, but I think he's worried it got caught in between somewhere...

...this I will say to you: your Quest stands upon the edge of a knife. Stray but a little and it will fail, to the ruin of all. Yet hope remains while all the Company is true.'

I think you nailed it with that passage. Couldn't come up with a better one to go with each gift card. Too bad it can't fit on the knife itself.

Lovebird! - Lovebirds need a mate!

I had a parakeet named Goose in college. Loved him, his cage was always open and he flew all over and landed on my head. Then the cat got him.... horrible story. heh.

I just looked it up, the movie was Silverado. He's not mentioned in the listing of stars of the movie, cause he wasn't a star at the time. I just remember him swinging down from the rafters of a barn or something like that. It was his big entrance!
