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 would've thought a stage actor like Stewart would've been professional enough to learn to play. He had to do what? One song?

I seem to remember stories about Amy Irving, who was not a pianist, learning to play for The Competition.

I had a roommate once who learned to play the accordian for a school play.

who was losing their mind?

Well, first it was Hair's friend, then it was Corin, then it was my turn, and now I guess it's yours....;^)

Somebody's always losing their mind around here.....

Is Jean Luc an elvish name?

Yes, it means "Better than Kirk." ;^)

Especially for that first part when his character was supposed to be learning to play anyway.

Don't get too excited. IMHO, it makes him look rather feminine!

Well, at least I'm in good company... ;)

Cute cartoon. Marriage is steady work all the time isn't it? The moment you start taking it for granted, it begins to suffer... You can never really stop working at it...

I have a friend and mentor who says of his marriage, "we've been married for 20 years. Eleven of them good..."

Don't know how to break this to you, but there aren't any pictures of Sophia Loren in any TolkienTown books...;^)

I got a hardcover edition of the Silmarillion and the revised Atlas of Middle Earth for Christmas... My book lust is soothed somewhat....;^)

Remember this advice my friend's father gave him 20 years ago at his wedding...

Son, you can be right, OR you can be married!

Oh, I've known that for a long time. It's what I always tell the groom at the wedding..."Just remember, she's always right..."
