Those "darn Hobbit threads" are chock full of Lone Star residents -- who, like our President, seem to understand heroism very well. I hope your thread does as well...even though I'm 2,000 miles away (I have family, however, in your state). But I'll bet you will have trouble matching the loyalty and fervor of the Tolkien fans!

Hey - I like this thread........ I have to tell y'all about my experience in Yankeeland...... the caf at work was holding a contest for a recipe for Cinco de Mayo....... I entered two..... both were excellent...... one is a chile relleno casserole (and if you ask real nice I might even pass it along to ya)....... did they chose an authentic Tex-Mex recipe? Heck no, they chose this chicken enchilada wrap thingy that had a flour tortilla (yes I said flour tortilla claiming to be an enchilada!!!) and asparagus......... yep, a chicken enchilada wrapped in an uncooked flour tortilla with asparagus......... I give up on trying to teach these people about mexican food.........

One of the emails a simple Texan has received.

Thank you for your web page at http://www.tomeaker.com/FReep/NIN/NIN.htm.

I was in Washington, D.C. when the Pentagon was plane-bombed. I was close enough to it to watch the windows in my hotel bulge, and feel the shockwave (of 184 innocent people being killed) hit my body. I watched the fire trucks and ambulances from Arlington as they drove down Rt. 50, past the Marine Memorial, to fight the fire and rescue the injured and retrieve the dead. I watched the smoke rise over Arlington Cemetery. I watched, and spoke with the Pentagon evacuees who walked to the Rosslyn station on that day. Most of them were in shock. I spent many hours watching and photographing the re-building, and visiting the tiny memorial trees in front of it. I saw the humvees with their machine guns pointed at me as I drove past it to buy my groceries for months, and the people sitting in unmarked cars that watched, too.

What I don't watch are movies or TV programs with the Hollywood anti-Americans in them, or the liberal-slanted news opinion-orators, commonly called news anchors. I vote with my mind, my conscience, my dollars, and my feet by thinking rationally, spending wisely and thoughtfully, and walking away from those who stand by and watch us being destroyed.

Thank you for a beautiful web page. Well done.

Signature redacted.

PS: I think that we need to have a Ouija board FReep meeting. Just not next weekend, We will be busy shooting.

Jim, when are you going to post the "shoot" thread?

Perhaps we need to open the thread with an appropriate song or two?

How about this?

FYI Those "darn Hobbit threads" are heavily populated by Texans. Possibly (but not counted) Texas may be better represented on our thread than any other state. So, watch your mouth when you talk about our other home!

Now, at this Texas home, can't the topic be something besides Ouija boards sometimes?

Here ya' go, this is how we start off every day in the Hobbit Hole do I'll fix it up and get ya'll goin'. I just took up plenty of T-bones off the grill. Got some baked taters just about done along with some roasted corn on the cob. The well done steaks are the ones on top. Further down the stack you go the rarer they get. Salad in the fridge with lots of dressings sitting around it. There's a cooler full of ice with tea in there. (It's already sweet.) You guys that want a brew, I don't mind but I don't buy it so bring your own please. After ya'll get your fill of supper, there's peach cobbler and Bluebell homemade vanilla. Oh, and plenty of homemade salsa and chips sittin' around on the picnic table so help yourselves. Dig in.

Now, that's how we start every day in the Hobbit Hole - lots of grub - and everybody keeps coming back for more.

I don't know all of ya'll, but keep this up and we'll get some real conversations going. Maybe even more than conversation. Ya'll hear what the Hobbit Hole's been doing for the 82nd Airborne over in Afghanistan?

How DID the topic of Ouija boards get started anyway?

That would be me.

On the Texas board, the word "nutburger" being thrown around a lot, so I decided to chime in and let everyone know how much of a nutburger I am.

Within my post, I made the offhanded comment, "I messed with a Ouija board and lived to regret it." Xenalyte, upon seeing that, asked me to talk about it.

That was three days ago.

Propane or charcoal?

If you have to ask this sir, I must ask to see your Texas credentials. Charcoal. Unless you're asking what you're supposed to heat your double-wide with.
