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.

Good Morning 2J!
I'm listening to my LOTR tapes this morning.
To: g'nad; Overtaxed; All
my gun is my friend...This is my weapon, this is my gun?
Hullo! Good morning.
Sorry I'm late. I was actually online at about 6:30, then the cable went out.
To: 2Jedismom
I think Rosie and Corin are already too far east... Straight down the coast for me! You're further away than ksen.
To: 2Jedismom
Great to hear that 2JM... I'm sure theboyz will have a great time...
Not sure I'm up for a journey to Florida... we'll see as the date gets closer...

Saw this over at C&F and got a kick out of it. Ever had someone ask you to play far away? I think I'm gonna learn
this for just such occasions...

Good Morning, Master Dwarf!
You're still doing better than the town of Apex. They had a substation "blowed up" early this morning with flames and everything. It'll take 24 hours for those people to get their power back.

Yep...that was the only one I really didn't know. I missed two others, one was related to the casting of the movie (Who was originally cast as Aragorn...I didn't nkow and really didn't care...didn't beat myself up for not knowing it...and then I goofed and put that Smeagol had found the Ring after Isildur lost it in the Anduin. Argh!)
"Does it guess easy? It must have a competition with us, my preciouss! If precious asks, and it doesn't answer, we eats it, my preciousss. If it asks us, and we doesn't answer, then we does what it wants, eh? We shows it the way out, yes!" "All right!" said Bilbo, not daring to disagree, and nearly bursting his brain to think of riddles that could save him from being eaten.
Thirty white horses on a red hill,
First they champ,
Then they stamp,
Then they stand still.
That was all he could think of to ask-the idea of eating was rather on his mind. It was rather an old one, too, and Gollum knew the answer as well as you do.
"Chestnuts, chestnuts," he hissed. "Teeth! teeth! my preciousss; but we has only six!" [JRR Tolkien, The Hobbit Chapter 5, Riddles in the Dark.]

I was just rememberin' the Super Bowl in 2000. We had an ice storm and the power went out and was out for 36 hours. Mrs. had the flu, then by Friday of that week was hospitalized due to complications with her pregnancy. Little one came a week and a half later (10 wks early).
But, far as I know, we don't have another on the way...
To: Penny1; Overtaxed; All
But how late can we start? I'd like a chance to go practice on my new piano beforehand, if that's possible.... Almost anything is possible! What time would you be home?
We just don't want to run too late for the east coast folk. OT, what is the latest you would want to start?
To: Corin Stormhands
Don't you just hate ice storms?
To: HairOfTheDog
OT, what is the latest you would want to start? Ummm...10 I guess. (7 pacific) I start nodding off around 12:30. Of course I could always take a nap.
To: g'nad
Good morning g'nad
By the way.... when is Mrs. G'nad due? How is she doing?
To: Overtaxed
That's 9 Central? I might be home in time to catch some of it after the party.
To: Overtaxed; Penny1
Ummm...10 I guess. (7 pacific) I start nodding off around 12:30. Of course I could always take a nap. Penny, can you be home in time to start promptly at 7:00? I would hate for OT to nod off in the movie.
