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.

I got the full week off for the Taylor-moot!

So are you and Ramius going to be doing a lot of fishing?

I wanted to be less of a snob, and more of a geek.

It's okay by me. I'll borrow 25% from your snob score and place it on your geek score. How's that sound? 23% snob and 90.48323% geek? Better?

I've gotten teary several times, and I'm only halfway through. It's a wonderful book.

Okay, if you're gonna talk about it in public you need to tell me what it is!!!!

Always happy to accomodate someone as pleasant and polite as the RoseBear family.

Now, about those trolls. Go get 'em.

Yeah, we let 'em run off for a little backgammon and now they're holding the whole thread in suspense just trying to find out the name of some book - we think anyway.

Why it's blackmail! or um piracy!

No - I think it would just make you quirky.... Quirky is good!

43.3925% - Major Geek

Actually, it should be expressed as 43.4%. Real geeks know all about "significant digits".

There was no section on weapons, which would increase my geek score greatly.

Are we still a-sposed to be pinging tribune7 to all our posts? He's bothered by keywords with his name in 'em.
