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 am being fairly successful at that so far, but then it is only 6:30 in the morning, so I am not even feeling guilty yet! Busy will come later.

I saw a pic of the same that seemed to be from a film; an unincorporated pic, but now I can't find the same pic again. It is Saruman. I think in ROTK that possibly Gandalf will recount Saruman's end, as he did his battle with the Balrog in TTT. Just my two cents.

2) Images from theonering.net take a long time to load

Your point?

which is why I scaled it down and linked to the larger.

You scaled it down, but you still linked it from theonering.net, so it still took a long time to load.

That's all. Nothing more. Nothing less.

I'm smiling. All I did was make an observation.

Morning, morning, morning!

I see that coffee is already made so let's get to the vittles! :)

Biscuits and sausage gravy, T-bone steaks and eggs, 2 plates of bacon, hash browns and freshly squeezed Florida orange juice. YUM!

My saga with the computer continues. I hope to get the right CD key for my PowerDVD some time today. If not, I will have to start the battle with eMachines and/or Best Buy for replacement software. My sister insists that it is only fair that I be given the original software since I have already purchased and have a license for it, and that it is simply not my fault that eMachines chose to give out "ghost" software on the restore disks instead of including it separately. The bottom line, I paid for the software and I am thus entitled to it and shouldn't have to purchase another one.

I doubt it will work, but it's worth a try. If all esle fails, I'll have to shell out the dough. Ugh!

Hair - great pic of Frodo in Shelob's Lair. *shudder*

Corin - the Gondorian returns tomorrow so must get all bsahing of him out before then. *grin*

I made a statement of fact. If that's offensive, that's not my problem.
