The Hobbit Hole V - Where Many Paths and Errands Meet...

Well, I'm back.

It was horrible. The whole time I could sense a air of hostility towards us, being homeschoolers and BOY SCOUTS...being the liberal rag that they are and seeing as they ran a hit piece on homeschooling not too long ago.

Who's brilliant idea it was to go to the place for a field trip is beyond me.

At one point the tour guide showed off a roll of newspaper...weighed a ton. He said "Now doesn't this just look like a big roll of toilet paper?" It was all I could do not to say that toilet paper was all his paper was worth straight off the news stand.

Hehehe....'prolly jinx the Panthers.

[Overtaxed]

Heh...should have asked them how they feel about becoming obsolete.....or maybe called them a bunch of tree-killers.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Been meanin' to ask... who organized the field trip?

[JenB]

Newspapers? What're those?

[Professional Engineer]

Heh...should have asked them how they feel about becoming obsolete....

This is vey profound! I was a paperboy in my early teens. I got to thinking recently how no kid will ever have that particulary opportunity again.

[2Jedismom]

Somebody in the cub scout den. I wouldn't have gone, but he had a requirement that stemmed from it and we already didn't go to the "bear carving" situation...

I did forget that you had to pay for parking in downtown, I hardly ever GO down town! Someone had to pay that for me. I felt terrible.

I tell ya, I am an absolute nitwit sometimes.

Hey, I got the ingredients for the hot wings! I also bought some chicken quarters for the boys, not gonna put the hot sauce on them. I'll just bake them a bit longer than the wings.

[JenB]

They'll find new things. I answered phones for a year and a half starting when I was fourteen, and then did some technical writing.

[Professional Engineer]

End of an era. I know there is other stuff.

I also worked in my grandpa'a auto shop from ages 11 to 18. OSHA would have sh!t if it weren't a family business. It was so fun. We built carbide cannon and other stuff in between all to hard stuff.

[JenB]

Is that where you made the sword?

Ok, wrapping up, going home...

[Professional Engineer]

Sure is. I also have a Great Helm I made. Hafta post some pictures of it soon.

[2Jedismom]

Hey, do you cut your wings into pieces or keep them whole? Do I just cut off and discard the nubbins before cooking?

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

I am an absolute nitwit sometimes.

Well, you know, who isn't?

[2Jedismom]

Well, I cut them up and have the little nubbins off to the side to see what you do with them? You know? Just the little wing tips...

I cut them at both joints. Used the new Miracle Blade, which is something because I am just terrified of it...I can just see in my mind's eye my finger being Miracle Bladed in two...

[2Jedismom]

LOL True.

[RosieCotton]

Oh gosh...finally listening to some of the Dean remixes. Too funny!

[RosieCotton]

Bit of profanity in some, though. Oops.

I think the Kokomo one is my favorite.

[Corin Stormhands]

"L-S-M-F-T... Lucky Strike means fine tobacco!"

I though it was "Let's Stand Up. My Fanny's Tired."

[Corin Stormhands]

You must see "O, Brother Where Art Thou."

I know Clooney's a ____________ (fill in your own term), but it's a great movie.
