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.

Oh, good! Am glad to know the Quicktime fix worked.

Suzi, IOTN had the same problem viewing the trailer as you did, audio but no video. Uninstalling Quicktime and installing the latest version fixed the problem.

Well, I hope somebody else answers that for you. I know that I've seen at least 2 different numbers put forth as THE number. I don't know what it is.

You know what my problem with Free Republic is, and why I sometimes dont come as often as Id like? The inability to access Bookmarks. I bookmark various threads Id like to stay on top of, but if Im not posting at least once every day, and getting some kind of response, the thread doesnt stay where I can find it...and there doesnt seem to be feature to access the bookmarks. Has that feature been eliminated?

Free Republic is confusing sometimes.

No new thread yet. We've been pushing Miss Hair to get it done. But, she's really been very very busy lately. Backgammon and Seabiscuit.

How about "Horny Hobbits, Drunken Dwarves, Effeminate Elves, and Tumescent Trolls über alles"?

No, that's not really very good, is it?

"The Mustard of Rohan"?

No, no...

"No Arghs Allowed", that should get a lot of votes...

If I opened a hotel on an air force base in Canaduh for transient troops, I'd call it "Yukon't Stay Long"...

I agree with you about that. I have experienced the same.

No, I would not vote for that name. But, I also wouldn't vote for a name disparaging to our elves.

You're too kind, Miss Hair.

I rather liked "Yukon't Stay Long", not for the thread name, just because it seemed funny.

Okay, I put in a motion that the new Thread title shall be "The Free Republic Hobbit Hole : The Battle For Middle Earth"

Anyone second that motion?
