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.

*shrug*

Maybe it would have done better at back-to-school time or...or...spring? When do people usually buy sneakers for their kids? Other than when they wear out.

Well, the largest size I got was size 1, for the boys...I wear size 4 or 4.5. Fours fit, 4.5 is more comfortable.

I'll probably stick the money back in the box.

I think we have established that *business* is not 2J's strong suit. ;~D

Well, really...think about it! I've got over $100 worth of whistles probably from people in C&F...I just feel bad taking $8 from one of them!

I am not faulting your kind sentiment at all! I think sticking the money back in the box is sweet!

Just wondering if you are ever gonna make money selling shoes this way!

I don't think I'll tell anyone on any thread I belong to when I sell my next pair! LOL I can't take money from anyone I chat with! Not that little bit of money anyway...if I were selling an expensive whistle, that's another story.

At least you can wrestle him and drag him to the bath!

I dunno. He's 75 lbs. and he doesn't care if I take away his video games.

I have a framed map of the Graveyard of the Atlantic with shipwrecks located all up and down the NC coast....does that count for anything?

I've got one of those. It isn't framed...yet.

No wonder he was huffing and puffing on the hunt for Merry and Pippin!

Seems like some of the dwarf-bashers around here ought to do some apologizin'

After all, how many bazillion arrows would one have to carry to equal the weight of one axe?

I am sure there is a story somewhere of a wife arrested for burying her husband in the back yard, and curiously enough, she buried him WITH the remote control to the TV.

After my father-in-law's funeral we had a laugh when we couldn't find the remote. I forget who said "Maybe Dad took 'em with him!"
