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.

"one" is a figure of speech.... an allegory, or amalgam.... or something.

Are we set to do this on Thursday night? Is that good for you both? do we have to work this in around backgammon?

Ecurbh, are you up for the chat-view of The Big Chill on Thursday eve, or do you have to work?

If'n I invite him, I know he's not off playin' backgammon with an interloper.

I think that one is the big E on top of the eye chart font that everybody can see from 300 yards away.

I don't. The dentist uses that word when he's talking about doing invasive things to my teeth.

No, I don't have to work Thursday, but I (1) don't have the movie, (2) don't have a DVD player downstairs to watch on, and (3) no laptop to freep upstairs where the DVD player is. Been looking for deals on cheap laptops, though.

I wouldn't dream of playing backgammon with an interloper.
