The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!

Posted on 12/17/2002, 3:32:02 PM 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.

I'm here! We ate supper then I took the boys outside and watched them ride their bikes and I played my whistle.

I want a Hummer.

I don't want an H2 or even a fancy-pants H1. I want a real Hummer like the one on my profile page.

I wonder if they sell them like military surplus?

I guess they didn't look at the women's FACES during auditions, huh?

I guess they only looked at the women's cheeks....

Um...why do I get the feeling you aren't talking about the facial type?

I'm betting they don't get the greatest gas milage...

On the other hand, if you get stuck in traffic, you can just drive over it. So I suppose there ARE benefits.

I'm not ever gonna get a Humvee. They make them and then the DoD has a contract to have them periodically refurbished and re-used.

Sigh.

I would like a little VW Bug though...

LOL... if you had seen the USA Network production of "Helen of Troy", you would have no doubt that I wasn't talking about the facial type. ;)

My mother has a Bug. It's bright yellow with white daisy wheels. It frightens me.

Hi all! Choir was good. Now I'm home for a bit. What's going on?

Bear's talking about Helen of Troy's...cheeks. And 2J wants a Hummer.

And I gotta do laundry or wear something only sorta dirty again tomorrow.

Should have started a wash BEFORE choir practice, but I didn't.

I tried that piece - I like it! I've never heard those things called "fiddler's chords" before, though it IS a lot easier on the fiddle. You bounce between an open string and another string, so I only have to finger one string instead of switching between fingerings like you have to do on whistle. If that makes sense!

Mom's is a New Beetle. It's much.... rounder.

Hey, uh, would it be rude to announce now that my birthday is Thursday, May 1st? It's my 20th...

I didn't try that piece but I have almost the same thing with Fleur de Mandragora (pardon my french): the first reel on Track 6 of Lunasa. It has a trill instead of the triplet.

Not a bit, but that's what John said...easy for a fiddle, hard for a whistle. Neat little tune, though, huh?

I like the one OT sent me...Fleur De Mandragore, none the worse for it's french title.
