The Hobbit Hole VI - And Whither Then? I Cannot Say...

[ecurbh]

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

And Whither Then? I Cannot Say...

• First thread: New Zealander builds Hobbit hole
• Second thread: The New Hobbit Hole
• Third thread: The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads! (Congratulations, we filled it up!)
• Fourth Thread: The Hobbit Hole IV - The Road Goes Ever On...
• Fifth Thread: The Hobbit Hole V - Where Many Paths and Errands Meet...

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

And we do have a Magnolia tree. A very puny and sad one.... but Magnolia it be.

I love magnolias! I wish I had one!

socialistic studies, probably never been taught quite the way you teach it either.

heh heh... you don't know the half of it... they were gettin' ready ready fer their constitution test... I twisted 'em good... the icing on the cake wuz when I asked, "what amendment contains the clause for the seperation of church and state?"... heh heh "It ain't in there!"... I railed about the second ammendment too... I also asked just where in the constitution it said the feds are supposed to be in the schools, providin' welfare, medicare and social security... had 'em reelin'... but they were thinkin'...

sorry I ain't been around... sick kids, lotsuh werk, and tryin' to do a lot more readin'... I miss youse guys tho'...

Oh, The Tick is great! I enjoyed the series: Tick and Arthur, Die Fledermaus, American Maid ... toooooo funny!

[Wneighbor]

WN's got her clipboard all out of order again!

Yep!

[Ramius]

Hi Rutheeeeee!!!!

What clipboard?

Are you talking about the 40 Days thing? I really enjoyed Day 9 last night.

[g'nad]

oh... and only had tuh choke one miscreant tuhday... introduced him to the wall after toleratin' his noise fer a bit... got nose tuh nose and growled "I didn't take that crap from Marines, and I sure as hell ain't gonna take it from a snot nose punk like you... now get outta my sight before I break somethin..."... seemed tuh werk... didn't look me in the eye the rest of the day...

[ecurbh]

The only "Die Fledermaus" I'm familiar with is the opera by Johann Strauss.

[HairOfTheDog]

Evening g'nad!

[JenB]

Hehehe... it's not a good day unless you put the fear of God into someone, right?

[HairOfTheDog]

Heh.... need you on this thread.

Got that "if your child doesn't look like this you have failed as a parent" pic handy?

[Ramius]

[snicker] Love yer' style.

Those little snotnosed punks probably have never had "authority" dealt to them in an "authoritative" fashion. You realize of course that you just undid years of "time-outs" that won't work again? Of course... they never worked before either...

[Wneighbor]

Ruthy says "HI!"

I'm off the phone now. Gosh it's nice to talk to her! She said that with her schedule if we wanna talk to her we gotta call her cause she doesn't have time to post. :-(

[Fedora]

Neekerbreeker???

Is this some cute language that only twins understand, or what?

It's hobbit-talk that only hobbits and midges can understand :) See Fellowship Book I Chapter 11, "A Knife in the Dark", pp. 246-247 :)

I got my new computer. It's very sleek, but WinXP is a little patronizing. Still, I'm happy.

Congrats! I think you'll like XP once you get used to it, though it can be a bit TOO secure and such. And I usually immediately take off the bubbly look on the menus and dialog boxes.

Watched more Scrapped Princess tonight. It's...convoluted. But then, that's pretty par for the course where anime is concerned. I'm up to the episode where the OTHER "Scrapped Princess" is introduced. Things are getting odder by the second.

[Wneighbor]

MMmm.... hey! Did you know Yahoo has dominoes in addition to backgammon? hehehehehe

[Fedora]

'Zat from the show? I've actually never seen it.

Yes :) In the pilot episode or thereabouts, the Tick decided he needed a battlecry, and he was looking around for inspiration, and happened to be eating some cereal (or something like that), so he suddenly cried "I know: Spoon!" And the rest is history :)

[JenB]

Yes, seriesly weird stuff. But good.

XP and I are getting along just fine, now that I've told it to connect me to our wireless network EVEN IF it's not properly secured blah-blah-blah.
