Building Your Own Hobbit Hole
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."

Hobbits make holes in YOU!
No!
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
I do not see room for where all the cat5 and fiber is placed!! This isn't a geek house, this is hell! ;)
I wonder what wifi's range is underground?
People, I honestly don't know if I've ever seen anything as pathetic as this hobbit hole project.
A vivid, creative imagination is a great thing -- don't get me wrong. 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.
First off, I doubt any of us live on grounds that are vast and mountainous enough to actually build one of these holes. And, chances are that the city of New York wouldn't approve of dozens of hobbit holes scattered throughout Central Park.
So, I urge you all to instead watch "Titanic" and imagine being a hero and saving everyone from a death by drowning. Curl up with your girlfriend as you watch "What Women Want" and imagine that you're a sexy, long-haired Mel Gibson. Order a bunch of pizza with your boys and watch "Hackers", all the time imagining that you're a prolific computer programmer.
"Set realistic goals" is basically what I urge of you all. Don't spend your _real_ lives imagining the impossible. Instead, live your life rather than trying to live through movies or Internet chat rooms, message boards, etc.
You all are wonderful people. It goes without saying that you're all really smart to boot. And, with some polish, I'm sure all of us here can be really nice, sweet gentlemen.
So rise to the occassion, and join me -- _in the real world_!

Sorta offtopic, but here's a cool case mod - a mini itx board in a hobbit-hole.
Can you get DSL in a Hobbit Hole???
I'd rather be a conservative nutjob than a liberal with no nuts and no job.
Another thing Peter mentions on that commentary track is that he has the large scale set for Bag End locked up in storage and plans to build it into a hobbit hole some day.
I hope there are pictures available when he does.
