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.

Sigh.... This pains me but you don't have to do anything rash.... Can sleep on it (and pace about it) for a day or two with probably no harm done.... Maybe you will find a better deal since having to buy the tickets was unexpected!

eeeeek!

OK. If I add a day to the end (Oct 2) its an additional $20. If I add the day to the beginning (Sept 23) the fare is the same. Hmmmm...

Seriesly, in Waco the baptists say we're a cult. Along with the UPC folks and the COGIC and all us like that.

I'm not supposed to say this.....but....that's how us Baptists refill our Spirit-O-Meter. The more we harangue people the fuller the meter gets and then that gives us leeway with God and we can run out and commit sin.

"Burn you Cultic, Heretic Scum!" See? I was just fooling around and added 20 points to my Spirit-O-Meter. Now I don't have to worry about cussing out someone who cuts me off on the way home today.

You know, after "Waco", a lot of people think that ANY church that's not a mainline denomination, is a cult. I started going to a church shortly after that called "Living Branch".. my mom was scared to death because of the "branch" .. lol

I trust that it is, I just have no interest in seeing it.

'specially since it's beating FOTR at the box office. :(

And there are some folks who call some mainline denominations "cults". I'm a member of a cult, according to a lot of folks here at FR. *shrug*

I completely agree with you. My friend back home wanted to know if I wanted to come back and see another movie again next week. So, we asked the manager at the drive-in what they were showing. It's the flushable. So, I won't be at the drive-in next week.

Actually, I'm waiting for Pirates. I think I need that big of a magnification of pirates to appreciate them the way they need to be appreciated - at least on the screen. i can think of other non-visual means of appreciation off screen though.

Okay, that explains why you and Corin have the relationship you do now. He is very useful to you huh? (I guess I'm the backup) LOL

I doubt it since you've used it.

But unless she'd used it, she wouldn't know if it worked or not! I'd think she could return it to Wal-Mart if it is still under warranty.

That was good P2B! That had to be at least 25 points. I bet that'd let you write a real nasty letter to Tom Daschle with no worries! ;^)

Actually, I make a pretty poor militant Baptist. I like people too much to go about spewing at them.
