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.

Thanks... I need them...

Sheesh! Talk about stating the obvious!

Seriously tho, you're in our prayers, along with our other dedicated servicemen and women standing along the front lines to defend our freedom and ideals.

Thank you.

We watched The Sixth Sense last night. That was even scarier than Signs.

I didn't think so.

Maybe it's because I think aliens are easier to believe than ghosts?

I find it unbelievably funny to imagine them just lurking at the moot. Standing around the outside of the table.... just listening.

That is a great mental image, isn't it? Imagine us sitting at the table in the restaurant and having sad little faces pressed up against the window looking at us. LOL!!

We just seem like such an odd place to lurk.... escpecially since the entrance standards are so low!

Isn't it kinda nice when someone tells you to stay home and relax? Can you imagine the poor people that are so driven in their lives that they can't just pile up and watch the world go by for a day or two?

Not me, I tell ya...twist my arm to pile up on the couch! LOL

Little green men, really?

Well, not really. Prolly the difference for me with those two movies was the "gotcha" element seemed a lot more intense in Signs. And maybe because in The Sixth Sense the dead people aren't really trying to hurt the kid.

Those demon elements in Ghosts still spook me when I see 'em tho...

What a sweet husband. Mine has been tolerant of my buying most of those things for myself. And he tolerates me watching the movie over and over. It is going in the background in one or the other room most of the time. At least I have the kids enjoying it with me. ( and then I have the CD FOTR at work to listen to)

Well, it did take some time for him to get used to me talking about people with names like "HairoftheDog", "2Jedismom", "My back yard", etc. :)

My nephew pesters me everyday to play the FoTR CD-rom game I have, but I refuse to let him play it until he has watched the movie. I'm a mean auntie! But let's face it, he has to have a general understanding of the story in order to play it effectively, doesn't he? Hehehehe.

No, I didn't, but I do want to. 2J, if it is saved as a word doc, can you post it again, or freepmail it to me, since I'm not sure where I put it? I now have my recipe file opened, so it can go right in, where I'll know where itr is, to be printed out on demand.

My apologies (and hopes that I can get it again).

Yeah...I don't have people telling me that very often. It's usually "get off your butt and do something." :)
