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.

Could be... could also be the version of Quicktime, and the OS you're using. Check the "About" menu on Quicktime and see what version you're running. It's plays all right in QT 6.1 on my system.

Something in the water up there makes folks not want to stay around the Hobbit Hole for too long at a time. Apparently backgammon is an antidote, though. So I've heard.
To: g'nad
Well, if you have played Higher res bigger trailers on that machine and they were not this bad, then it isn't a plain RAM problem..... Play it without increasing the size.... it is tempting to stretch it bigger, but it gets worse. When I made it bigger the audio and video got out of sync.
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
just downloaded QT 6... got winders 98...
To: Overtaxed
Yeah...their thoughts turn to backgammon. precisely.
Then there's whatever's got into Jen tonight too.
And here we're trying to do the whole world a service and rush to implosion. They just wanna run off to play them games.
reminds me of another old country song.

You think maybe that's where DT has been?
Ooh. Listening to TTT soundtrack. It'd been awhile. Spooky music at the moment. The Black Gate is Closed.
To: ecurbh
I dunno what you were thinkin'. But, you see what already happened to Vim and DT!

It may be a symptom of running QT 6 on Win98... or could be a memory problem. Afraid I don't have any easy fixes for whatever the problem is!

Yeah, we been missin' you and DT. Something in the water up there makes folks not want to stay around the Hobbit Hole for too long at a time.Actually, it's not what's in the water, but just being on the water is addictive too! (I know you know about that). Actually I need to get out my kayaks more often.....
And with that, farewell for now from the kayaking wandering dwarf! Good Night All!

Is it applicable?
GAMES PEOPLE PLAY
Joe South
Oh the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now
Never saying what they mean
And they wile away the hours
In their ivory towers
Till they're covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousine
Chorus
La-da da da da da da da
La-da da da da da de
Talking 'bout you and me
And the games people play
Oh we make one another cry
Break a heart then we say goodbye
Cross our hearts and we hope to die
That the other was to blame
Neither one will give in
So we gaze at our eight by ten
Thinking 'bout the things that might have been
It's a dirty rotten shame
Repeat Chorus
People walking up to you
Singing glory hallelulia
And they're tryin to sock it to you
In the name of the Lord
They're gonna teach you how to meditate
Read your horoscope, cheat your faith
And further more to hell with hate
Come on and get on board
Repeat Chorus
Look around tell me what you see
What's happening to you and me
God grant me the serenity
To remember who I am
Cause you've given up your sanity
For your pride and your vanity
Turns you sad on humanity
And you don't give a da da da da da
Repeat Chorus
