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.

We're watching Reign of Fire. Bale and McConaughey have never looked manlier.

Hoping to stir up some posting activity...

That Skip and Go Naked recipe doesn't look like the one we ever used... is it?

It had to have happened close to an hour ago...and nothing on anywhere. I can't imagine something that massive being nothing at all.

I took the 25 knives I have on hand to the engraver today. He promised at least some of them will be ready by Thursday. Those of you who ordered one for yourselves will get the first ones finished. The rest will go to WN, who needs to take some time to feed them through the "supply chain". The total purchased was 34.

Hair; it sounds kinda funny, but when we were gone for a month, we hired a young animal control officer that worked for the city to house-sit and take care of Gifford, the lab, and Smokey Bear and Victoria, the cats.

Luckily, Gifford continuously entertained her with his antics such as hiding her key ring in his mouth and jingling it when her back was turned, or dropping his rawhide bone down the stairs (several times) until she got up to feed him. She had the city hall staff in stitches most mornings.

Did you figure out what that was that made the cloud? I just woke up from a nap.

Have it on local news now.... they are just doing the weather and chit chatting.

Good, I may be awake by then! Having some coffee. - It is hot out and particularly hard to wake up after my nap. Scott tells me that Lacey might have gone up in smoke, and I still can't bring myself to get alarmed.

I didn't know it was a real thing.... I thought Lisa's wacky friend was making it up as he went along on that camping trip.

Yikes... I hope Lacey didn't go up in smoke. That could potentially do hundreds of dollars in damage.

Heh.... I wish I knew how to answer that!

You will have to help me

I was just thinking that there are very few things we intentionally burn that burn black smoke.
