Building Your Own Hobbit Hole

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the joke-or-simple-obsession dept.

Alien54 writes "Sometimes people go too far in being a fan of a great movie or of a great book. Now you can be the proud owner of a Hobbit Hole. The site offers basic plans, as well as technical resources. For example, one thing you might want to consider in your planning is Large Elliptical Precast Concrete Pipe."

    Might be a tad bit of a problem getting a building permit.

    You know, a lot of people were way ahead of the curve on this business of living in sewer pipes. Ironically, they are known as the homeless.

    So when yuppies want to abandon their nice cozy frame houses for sewer pipes, may I propose they kill two birds with one stone and just trade?

    • But when a grown adult man daydreams about living in an underground wizard cave instead of about girls, money, and cars, I believe that there is a problem.
    Wow ... so in other words, if we don't daydream about girls, money, and cars, you consider the person flawed. Am I the only one that thinks this is really sad? I would say that we should dream of who we want to be. If that dream involves a female companion, being filthy rich, or owning a stable of high performance machines ... then so be it. But if you dream of other things, then that dream is a worthy goal because it is you who dreamed it. Moreover if others dream differently to you, then don't chide them, but respect their dream for what it is. Your dream is not the only one, after all.
