Ahoy there Matey- Farmer Daves ship

Hey! That's my area!

Only problem is his beard pupes would probably get everywhere.

I thought he had shaved his beard off?

Not as of the (really awkward) Desolation of Schmowg preview.

Oh, I haven't really been following anything hobbit related since last December.

I only watched it the other days in the throes of agonizing procrastination/boredom.

Stephen Colbert was predictably cool but other than that I sort of wish I hadn't watched it. It was just really lame.

I haven't really thought much about The Hobbit lately tbh.

I'm guessing this is our mid-life crisis in our five or six year relationship with these movies.

Probably. I'm still hoping that Schmowg will be a more entertaining film but I don't expect much.

I'm sort of more worried about what will happen to the Tolkien fandom after the movies are done. The Estate exhausted its supply of posthumous Middle-earth publications in 2007 and it's very unlikely that we'll see future Tolkien movies. We're probably going to end up like the Harry Potter fandom after that franchise conclusively finished. On the other hand, the shriveling up and slowly dying process has already affected a ton of forums and we've escaped it so far, so I hope that we'll be able to outlast the films since we have a lot of other topics of discussion.

me neither

We talk about all sorts of things here, & not all are Tolkien related ! I think,as there is so much fun here,this forum isnt ready for the scrap heap yet ! Oh no, Oh didly-doodly no !

Just checking in quickly. Here's a link from our last port.

Ahoy shipmate! I hope all is well on the High Seas. And youve collected lots of booty, or whatever it is your doing out there.

Anyway dont worry Im keeping all your vegetables well fertilised on my way home from the Duck n'Muck of a night.

Wheres your next port of call?

I saw the URL and thought it meant the ship had hit something. Glad to hear all is going well, though!

Wheres your next port of call?---Petty

Just left Astoria OR headed up the Columbia River stopping at big and little ports along the way.

Cap'n Dave ahoy.

Have a good river trip Dave!

Right folks local newspapers and news reports in the Columbia River region- lets see if we can follow Daves journey.

Is it a big river then this Columbia?

Yeah, it's one of the defining geographical features of the Pacific Northwest.

So not small then?

that kitty's to sweet to be a pirate !

For all we know Dave has been shipwrecked - with all carrots overboard - and here you all are totally screwing this thread! The nerve!

Yeah ok ELdo, but the bit you can get a ship up will be smaller....

i wish gatsby was screwing me

To what? I suppose youd be somewhere to hang a painting
