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.

Can you play backgammon in a gazeebo?

I think we are going to need a gazebo cam.

Wow! That sounds great! What are we gonna have engraved on them?? That quote I posted or what??

Sorry for the delay, but I think your quote is a bit too much to etch on a knife. But I thing it would be great as the centerpiece for the "certificate" that will accompany each knife. The knife itself will have just a URL on it, probably. Not enough room or money for more than that.

But it IS such a great quote, and we have to make sure we send enough LOTR materials along to show the tie-in.

Thanks for finding it.

Okay Corin, Hair and I both forgot to pick up The Big Chill this afternoon. Did you get it? Are we set to do this on Thursday night? Is that good for you both?

do we have to work this in around backgammon?

Okay, maybe that's a mental image you didn't need...

Did you click my links? I now have an amalgam of mental images containing parts of your story and parts of South Park.

I'm watching now. Are you going to leave this on so I can watch you play backgammon?

One could pass it to their friend in the other kayak.

OK, Miss Hair, which one of the dwarves around here has been acting up, if you'll pardon the awful pun?

It wasn't me... cuz this story don't end with Mr. Penn in a body bag...

Besides, I'm not sure I'd want to be passing the travel backgammon back and forth in WHITEwater!
