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.

o, 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.

Huh.... those are a lot of roadblocks to put up in front of a girl.

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

Our high today was 106. Yesterday it was 105. So, howcome that guy said we're cooler because of the cool front coming through? Does he KNOW how stupid that sounds?


Well, he prob. has to have something to say other than, "It's just hotter than hell here and there's no let up in sight. I'm going to go get a real job."

I have one under my desk that is free, but struggles with Win 95. I think it was made for a Win 3.1 world..

He's changing the subject.

Now he's talking about laptops.. or lap dancing.. or something like that.

I still want to know what was on the wall.

I'm afraid to ask. He might tell us more than I want to know.

I don't think it is upgradable because I think that is why it was given to me. It's an old Dell... Latitude LM, it says.
