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.

Most days I stay away. I was pinged there, and it was really a stupid argument.

Let's just say it made as much sense as saying "Viggo is an airheaded liberal, therefore FOTR and TTT are bad movies..."

there aren't any pictures of Sophia Loren in any TolkienTown books

LOL! Oh, well... how about Luthien? Or Galadriel? ;)

I'm looking to fill some holes in my "History of Middle-Earth" hardcover collection... we have a local bookstore here that has some of the volumes but not all of them, so I've had to buy some in paperback.

I'm reading Volume VI now, "The Return of the Shadow", the first book dealing with the writing of LOTR... it is fascinating! Frodo was originally named Bingo, Strider was a Hobbit named Trotter, and Treebeard was evil!

The Joseph Smith was a Methodist one?

Wow, you called her "Mammy"... LOL!! That is slapping her around a bit...

I have never properly understood what qualifies as SPAM. Maybe Hair can clarify?

Frodo was originally named Bingo

There was a Hobbit who had a Ring and Bingo was his name-o!

Strider was a Hobbit named Trotter

Well, we know "Trotter" couldn't have been an elf name...

He ditched the hobbit/Trotter idea on the Pass at Caradhras when he became as big a liability as the other hobbits.
