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.

Dalmations are often born deaf... a breed defect they are working on I hope. But no... this is not the spotted dog. She is young and hears just fine!

Zulu is the little old cocker cross... She is 17 now and being deaf just snuck up on her with age, along with the cataracts and aches and pains.

Young

Old

He says he thought fans would have responded to the theme of the film more positively.

Sheesh! Jr. and I are major trekkies also, but I thought the film was mediocre.

She's still pretty at 17. Make her comfortable. Make her feel loved.

Here's hoping she's with you for a good while yet.

(((Patrick Stewart)))

There, there. Go sit down and pretend to play your penny whistle before this mean, cruel, nasty dangerous world tries to hurt you. *comforting pat on the shoulder*

As I walk to the door, I mumble...What a loser! What a maroon! He needs to beam himself to "Cry Me A River" land and never return. I can practically hear the violins and they ain't playin' the theme of Rohan, that's certain. What a pantywaist!

"Star Trek is much more "real"."

Yeah, and X men sucked, too.

"Middle Earth or Hogwarts seem to be more attractive and more comforting in these times."

What is he talking about, the free peoples of Middle Earth faced an overwhelmingly powerful evil that was bent on their domination and destruction. They faced it, against all odds, with fear and determination, to the best of their ability. It's inspiring, that's one reason why it resonates with folks.

I've enjoyed Patrick Stewart, sometimes I wish these people could keep their traps buttoned.

Heh... I don't think she will be here long, but she has had a good life. She and Logan will probably go together this year, they are joined in the heart. Maybe they will have a bit of summer first, maybe not. Either way, I will do what I can.

My dad is on notice that if Logan dies here at home, I will need help in a hurry. I am not gonna be able to lift him with any kind of dignity by myself.

I always loved Zulu's top portrait pic. I took it at the beach, I always thought she looked like a mountain goat.

Did you say you had one of those showtime rotisseries?

I need to know now long to cook a 3.73lb corned beef brisket and I can't find my instruction manual.

I can't believe you found a way to use "Elrond" and "go" in the same sentence...


Chocolate Lembas?
