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 think you're going to have to change your tag line

Notice, I've added a qualifier in order to give me some wiggle room.

I want to see if this pace continues for another day or two before I make a new prediction. If we suddenly drop down to our normal average, I don't want to get egg on my face...

Makes a real mess in my beard when that happens...

Wow, I like your parlor.

I'm looking to skip all this backgammon/chess stuff and go straight to the Trivial Pursuit.

Ooh, you may be more right than you know... chess can be very... ah... interesting with the right opponent... sitting across the board staring at each other, hands "accidentally" brushing in midair... the back-and-forth of play...

WOW JEN!

Remember, Jen liked the first little red dress that I posted the other day. The one with the cleaveage down to er..... uhm. And the hemline definitely ABOVE the knee.

lol! The audio track doesn't match up well with the video track, either. Words are said, but the lips don't move to match them...

Not much. She drops by occasionally, but haven't seen her for a while.

IMO, that is a good way to be. Fun anyway.

Havana Daydreamin’ Lyrics:
By: jimmy buffett 1975 Stashed his trash in ecuador Bought a good suit of clothes Flew on up to mexico Standin’ by the shore Waitin’ for some mystery man To pay him for his time But thinkin’ about all the money he’d made Couldn’t help to ease his mind Havana daydreamin’ Boy he’s just dreamin’ His life away His daddy chopped that sugar cane One day he fell dead Jesus had a wanderin’ feelin’ Swimmin’ around in his head Sailin’ on a midnight boat There were no questions asked The water so green and the air was so clean He just stuck right to his task Havana daydreamin’ Boy he’s just schemin’ His life away (instrumental) Ceilin’ fan it stirs the air Cigar smoke does swirl The fragrance on the pillowcase And he thinks about the girl Spillin’ wine and sharin’ good times She sure could make him smile He pays her well but what the hell He’ll be movin’ in a little while Havana daydreamin’ Boy he’s just dreamin’ His life away Havana daydreamin’ Boy he’ll be dreamin’ His life away
