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.

Oh, I have ever loved A Wrinkle In Time!

I was always Meg ...

The scariest part, for me, was the planet Camazotz(?), where everybody did the same things at the same time, and the fate of the little boy who bounced his ball out of phase!

In fifth grade, I got into an argument with my teacher about tesseracts and Klein bottles ...! Egad, but I was a geek!

[JenB]

Hee, my mother didn't want me to read that book when I was ten because it had scared her when she was ten. I thought it was cool and went around discussing tesserects if anyone would listen. Which they wouldn't.

Right, bed now. See you all tomorrow.

I am just listening to a little C.C.R., though I suspect none of you youngins have ever heard of them.

Is Mary still Proud?

[HairOfTheDog]

She keeps on rollin'!

[Soupy]

You mean Mrs. Who, Mrs. Which and Mrs. Whatsit? They're in A Wrinkle In Time, I believe. That was the first in that trilogy.

I haven't read'em in years either ._. Made all my manga fall over lookin' for 'em...

[smaagee]

ARGGGH! We had OUTHOUSES! where we had to burn our poop!

You think that's unfair. They hire locals for three to four dollars a day to come around and pump them out...and they do it with a smile, considering most people here only make about 10-15 dollars a month. Then they take the trucks out along the highway and dump them on the side of the road. Pretty gross huh.

[Professional Engineer]

I don't think I've ever heard of them before. But what else is new.

Ohfercryinoutloud!

[smaagee]

Good evening to you...how are things.

[Professional Engineer]

YAY the !%#$%%#^^@^ taxes are done!

[GulfWar1Vet]

WHAAAA...????

The Saudis did not allow us to dig or dump the poo..we had to burn it!

Boy..what's up with the Iraqi's allowing poo to just sit on the side of the road? No gardens around? LoL

[Graybeard58]

She keeps on rollin'!

Rollin' on the rivah

[Wneighbor]

I'm good Steve. Just getting ready for bed here. It's been a very long day at work for me. 12 hours. Kinda sleepy on this end!

[Professional Engineer]

Then they take the trucks out along the highway and dump them on the side of the road. Pretty gross huh.

Except for the gross part, this is hilarious.

[GulfWar1Vet]

Spare tire? Spare lunch container? :D Spare belly tire?

As to the yellow jacket, yep, people will see me miles away. :D

Mmm..what's up with the pinapple in the Hobbit Hole pic? Is there a story behind that?

[smaagee]

The Saudis did not allow us to dig or dump the poo..

They dump everything on the side of the road. Garbage, Poo, oil, you name it. If the roll an oil tanker over (and they often do) they just leave it. If they wreck a car they just leave it. Within hours it is completly stripped and then they burn the remails. This whole country is a junkyard I tell ya.

[GulfWar1Vet]

Well..if they want a new country, they better discard the old policies of Saddam. Or shall we call their country ...Pepe Le Peu

[Soupy]

Yup, I heard about Van-sama ^--^ That's totally awesome.

As for anime, if you're into interesting stories with a fantasy bent, try out Fushigi Yuugi or Ayashi no Ceres, they're both really cool. Wolf's Rain is awesome to in my opinion, but it seems to be a love-it-or-hate-it sort of thing -_- Lovely animation though.
Um... I'll thing of more tomorrow @_@ G'night! ^_^

[GulfWar1Vet]

Oh, btw, Steve..I sent magazines to you this morning. I ferget how long they will get to ya, but they are coming! I hope it gets there before the end of the month! LOL

[Graybeard58]

Are your taxes done yet? We are actually going to get about a $400 refund this time as opposed to last year when we had to pay about $400

Illinois very generously does NOT tax retirement pay and we usually get back about $100 from the state. I probably should not put that fact in print lest our dim governor Rod Unpronouncable see it and decide HEY! there's another tax I can slap on the suckers.

[smaagee]

These people absolutly cant drive. There are no traffic laws here, and severe accidents are frequent. their roads suck so roll overs are common. We are under strict orders that we will not stop or be dettered from our chosen route, so sometimes our oversized trucks help them along in the accident when they cut us off.
