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.

Well, I let myself get a little "het up" here. Just watched the local news. Bubbleheads in Albuquerque. And the news here featured the local dem rep who is giving all the reasons why the bozos are right.

AAARRRRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Albuquerque used to be one of my favorite get-away spots. I might have to switch that. And let 'em know why.

I'd probably be part of the SSPX.

I'm actually very orthodox, but those folks are WAY too rigid for me! LOL!

I get to listen to all the idiot liberals here in Austin calling up local talk radio, talking about how wonderful they think the Chicken-Ds are for running off. Despicable!

So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one -- big hitter, the Lama -- long, into a ten-thousand foot crevice, right at the base of this glacier. And do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga...gunga -- gunga galunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consiousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

You say that like it's a *bad* thing. :-)

If I were sane I wouldn't depend on this job I have.

It's weird, reading some of the posts from back then.

Our historian? Which thread? - This one or the first one? I think it is a riot to read the first one.

Well, campers... it's time for me to bug out.

I'll watch my back pretty close tonight, since I have g'nad and osage threatening silent death from afar... but something tells me that my instincts will serve me well this evening. I'll be fine...

Later...

I said it was a "family" thing. So, do ya'll always use the words "family" and "bad" interchangeably?

Far as the job, I hate it when it's like that. The dependancy. Someone should start a support group.
