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 agree that it would be fun to go drinking with Legolas, as long as he didn't try showing off with his bow and end up shooting someone in the ear or something by mistake.

I seem to remember a scene in "Shogun," by Clavell, in which the protaganist and a Jap guy had gotten drunk together and the Jap guy had made some almost "magical" bow and arrow shots.

I just e-mailed my daughter at work that it was you, and her memory is much better than mine. Her comment -- yeah, the lady with the really blonde hair and the cool cloak. I remember her. We all really wanted one. lol Well, I told the girls that next year we have to come up with some great things to wear to the ROTK, like that!

How'd you like to be in a room with a bunch of drunk elves

It might not be so bad if you could keep 'em from throwing all those little paper umbrellas on the floor...

Seems to me that Bilbo and the dwarves ran into some partying elves in Mirkwood that kept disappearing on them... Playing silly elitist elvish tricks on them and leaving them to the nasty spiders....

No, no elvish parties for me, thank you very much....;^)

Yep, if anybody makes trick bow shots it better be me instead of the drunk elf. I don't drink much but water, tea and coffee.... but, I could have fun with a drunk Legolas.

I can say that now, I'm back at work and Myranda isn't reading over my shoulder. She's probably at home lurking on the home computer reading instead... honey, do as I say,,,, not as I kid about in Hobbit Hole!!!!

I made my cloak back in the '70's when I only had the books for inspiration. Have worn it regularly since. Love it. Always get lots of favorable comments even though most people don't connect it with any literary source. But, it seems to be one of those things that has always stayed in style.

Master Dwarf, knowing your distaste for elves, and seeing as how I've come to regard your company quite highly in the past few weeks, I willingly volunteer my services for picking up paper umbrellas and any other assorted elf debris, IF you'll only call me over to get those elves off you hands should they show up at your place drunk!

You just want to take advantage of some poor drunk elf...

It's been so long since I tried to take advantage of anybody like that.... I might have forgot how.

Which of course would not keep me from making the effort.

Dwarves, please forgive my momentary lapse into elf-lust.... I missed your company immensely the last few days.... I'll try to focus better now. Just DON'T GO AND GET MY MIND WANDERING LIKE THIS!!!
