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.

Quite a load, 'specially cuz he's such a short guy, carryin' all those axes.
To: Corin Stormhands
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!" LOL!
OH - I am watchin' Fiddler on the Roof this afternoon! (I just realized that Fiddler abbreviates as FotR) Helps me feel better in my traditional laundry role...
To: osagebowman
And on the JRRT front: my lil buddy in red, white & blue truck just dropped off the long awaited, much anticipated "The New Atlas of Middle Earth" by Karen Wynn Forstad (revised edition) It is absolutely great. Maps, Maps & More Maps, with appropriate text. First, Second and Third Ages, Regional, Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, Thematic Maps; Also cross-sections of topography under many of the plan view topo maps; floor plans and cross-sections of etc. etc. (anybody else a map-aholic? :-) I recently got this same edition. I love it! I definitely qualify as a "map-aholic" ;^). Have not had a chance to read into it too deeply yet. I want to be able to take the time to savor it....
To: SamAdams76
Welcome! I tried reading all the posts on the old thread when it was 30,000 posts long, LOL! I gave up after a couple thousand... Tons of idle, meaningless chit chat on this thread....that becomes more palatable as you get to know everybody better..... I keep my sanity by disappearing for weeks at a time, then reappearing and diving in with gusto, as I've been doing lately....
To: HairOfTheDog
I saw the Barry article earlier and was gonna post it. I thought it was funny too.
To: osagebowman
Not a bazzillion but a full quiver of 24-48 would be 3-6 pounds. Yikes! Math!
Never meant to imply that Legolas was a slacker.

Tons of idle, meaningless chit chat on this threadThere is? I hadn't noticed....
To: rightwingreligiousfanatic
Idle? Meaningless? You mean everyone isn't interested in 200+ posts on lembas?
To: SuziQ
Y'all are nice folks, so I don't worry about her hanging around the Hobbit Hole.My 11 year old son, Will, sees some of the stuff here too, but never by himself, so I'm not worried...
To: Overtaxed
Good evening! jim_mc from C&F won my sneakers.
To: 2Jedismom
Hi! I'm here. The superbowl is really boring this year. We are having really nasty snow and the roads are horrible. On the plus side, I found out my favorite sneakers can be got for $20 so I think I'll stock up...
What's up?

The boys are all in the living room watching The Game and pigging out on junk food. Bowls of chips, a plate of lil' smokies, popcorn, soda..
It's funny! They are all in there acting like "guys" you know. I love it.
To: Overtaxed
She said "lembas"...heh heh heh...

Here, tell 'em I sent one of
these.
To: 2Jedismom
I like Sketchers. They're the best for my feet, but the only pair I have right now have... pink stripes. Ugh.

Hi again!
The Superbowl is always boring IMHO. I've been surfing around looking for some good PC speakers that fit the budget of a tightwad.
To: Overtaxed
We have been cheering for the teams based on their uniforms (red is so much nicer than silver). But it's still boring.

I have abandoned the guys to their game...I'm online and guilt-free!
To: Overtaxed
depends on whether the nice part is more or less important than the tightwad part.
I could use better speakers myself.
