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.

Just got one yesterday (or was it the day before? This week has sped by...)

Same as here. I'm not that original, I guess!

Good morning everyone!

My netscape local temps are reading 37 degrees here, but lemme tell you, it feels colder when that wind howls on ya! *shiver*

Nevertheless, I heard cries of hunger from the Hobbit Hole, so I rallied myself up and into the kitchen. First off, buckets of hot steaming strong coffee! I've got hot chocolate, various types of tea and plenty of whiskey, Bailey's and Kahlua for those who want to add an extra kick to their morning beverage! LOL!!

Fried eggs, bacon and sausage links are ready. Grits are on the hot plate, along with a pot of sausage gravy. I've fried up a mess of T-bones as well for the extra ravenous Hole dwellers. Hash browns, buttered rolls and blueberry muffins are on the table in the covered basket (keepin' em' warm, doncha know *wink*). ENJOY!

2J - Yippee for Pippin! The good life awaits! And I am even happier for your mom, for this will clear her of her melancholy and make everyone's life a little sunnier! :)

Sam Cree and ksen (and Florida lurkers) - MUVICO has changed the movie times. The only afternoon showing of The Two Towers is now at 3:15PM. We will still be meeting at Cracker Barrel at noon, but this just means that we can take our time and not panic if there is a 20 minute wait to be seated. I can hardly wait!

It got down to 49 here. Clearly, all of Florida's degrees are in the Northwest.

Yeah, I know the feeling! We're supposed to get temps in the 20s on Sunday - it'll feel downright balmy! No joke...I'm really looking forward to it!

Do I sense a bit of sarcasm there, Master Dwarf?

Do not mock my watery blood, for it is only due to my ancestors being from tropical islands. (Aragorn)It is the blood of my forebears and I cannot escape who I am! (/Aragorn)

*wink*

Nope. Degree Envy.

Hi Ruthy, my internet connection keeps going out today, so if it dies completely, I'll just call you.

Very busy at the moment, but will check in when I can.

Ksen, Ruthy has my phone numbers, I'll send them to you when I get a free minute.

Looking forward to tomorrow.

No problem Sam, call me when you can (hey that rhymes)! If I don't answer my work phone, call my cell please!

I might be out for lunch around noon, FYI.
