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.

She squashed me like a bug and I haven't seen her since

You done stomped on my heart,
And you smashed that sucker flat.
You just sorta
Walked on my aorta.
You started holdin' hands with guys,
I saw us drift apart.
And ev'ry step you took
It was a stomp upon my heart.

too bad there won't be dancing at this wedding, I think they're Baptists.

OK - find out where the real reception is after the "grandmas and aunts" church reception.

Although I suppose Victorians were good at eye contact and subtle stuff, since overt conversation of this type wasn't looked on with much favor.

I didn't know Baptists don't dance, the black ones sure do, even in Church, wildly, even.

Very true.... There are opposite and opposing factions there....

Well, you know what they say... Catholics only recognize the catechism, Lutherans only recognize infant baptism, and at the liquor store, Baptists don't recognize anybody.

Then the fishnet stockings are a must. Sort of a "fishers of men" theme...

To make the hr go all the way across, you have to set the table cell to span across both columns, thus:

<td colspan="2"><hr></td>

I've already made the change for you and emailed you the code in a text file.

Do you know why you take two Baptists fishing?

Because if you take just one, he'll drink all the beer.

I like the stockings, they are nice. Although, strangely, I think my wife looks cutest of all (dressed) in jeans and a white shirt, barefoot.

At least they couldn't drink wine at the wedding anyway, even if they weren't Baptists. The kids can't be more than 19... I think it's a mistake to get married if you can't toast your own wedding.

This is probably very wrong of me but part of me is wondering if they had to get married now.

Good night everyone, I hear lots of thunder, shutting down here. The cloudwall approaches.

Don't worry, odds are that they'll both get the chance to do it again sometime soon anyway... :-)

Well, even if they haven't done what you imagine, if they are in love, do you really think they are gonna want to wait two years to proceed just so they can have wine at the wedding? ;~D
