Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Still round the corner we may meet...

• 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...
• Sixth Thread: The Hobbit Hole VI - And Whither Then? I Cannot Say...
• Seventh Thread: The Hobbit Hole VII - But not yet weary are our feet...

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, Beneath the roof there is a bed; But not yet weary are our feet, Still round the corner we may meet A sudden tree or standing stone That none have seen but we alone. Tree and flower and leaf and grass, Let them pass! Let them pass! Hill and water under sky, Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait A new road or a secret gate, And though we pass them by today, Tomorrow we may come this way And take the hidden paths that run Towards the Moon or to the Sun. Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe, Let them go! Let them go! Sand and stone and pool and dell, Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead, And there are many paths to tread Through shadows to the edge of night, Until the stars are all alight. Then world behind and home ahead, We’ll wander back to home and bed. Mist and twilight, cloud and shade, Away shall fade! Away shall fade! Fire and lamp, and meat and bread, And then to bed! And then to bed!

I think a guy with a vacuum sealer can remain a productive member of society, as long as he doesn't also have a label maker.

[JenB]

Vacuum-sealed soup?

Whoa... the door is wide open, not three feet from my desk, and I'm not even a little chilly. What is this weird weather?

[RosieCotton]

In the first few days after he got it, I think he woulda vacuum sealed the dog in a bag, if'n he'd fit. He went a little crazy with it for awhile. ;-)

[JenB]

Certain kinds of guys tend to get a little weird when they get a new gadget. Not so much girls, but we do obsess over clothes more, so I guess it's even.

Hm...you don't suppose..

Here's the URL to the movie clip that Steve sent meIt's movie clip number seven on the list...He must have got his sense of humor from his mother's side of the family.

Steve sent that in? The woman falling? LOL! It was so painful to watch.... I knew what was gonna happen!

[HairOfTheDog]

Check this out... ROTFL (video)

[RosieCotton]

Heh...I like the frisky dog one.

[Graybeard58]

Steve emailed me the one with the woman falling so I went to the web site and tried to open some more but all I get is a bunch of code. The one he mailed me opened just fine from my email.

[RosieCotton]

D'oh!

[JenB]

What are you looking at?

[Graybeard58]

Steve

[HairOfTheDog]

Nice! - I got one of them on my truck too! ;~D

[Corin Stormhands]

Because I know you like this little guy...

[JenB]

Argh. I hope the trolls were vicious, otherwise you have no excuse.

Seriously, how was the battle?

[Corin Stormhands]

1) I don't need no steenkeeeng excuses...

2) Battle was not as bad as I had anticipated. Actually sort of heard them hinting that they may let me do what is in my job description instead of all this other crap.

We'll see.

[JenB]

Did you see the thread I just pinged you to? Heh, I think you could use your graphic there.

Speaking of the conceal to carry law... my brother's PD told him not too long ago that he would have to get qualified on each gun that he owns - and not just for off duty carrying of concealed weapons. Okay, we are talking about a person who has been an active member of a gun club since he was knee-high to a june bug, and is a qualified and employed police officer. He was more than just a little offended. He carries one (or two) of at least 10 different guns at any given time. Plus, this would all be out of pocket expense, i.e. not paid for by the department.

IIRC, he fought it and was able to to convince the PD that getting qualified (notice ~ they didn't say "trained") for EACH firearm he OWNS was redundant (not to mention a bad way to maintain retention of officers)

> Meanwhile Spock snuck up behind Ben-Veniste and gave him a Vulcan nerve pinch, which was pretty cool.

I'd pay real money to see that!

Me, too, LOL! I had in mind the scene from Star Trek IV where the punk rocker is playing his radio loud on the bus and Spock politely asks him to turn it down. He gives Spock the finger, so Spock gives him the nerve pinch, and everyone on the bus gives Spock an ovation, LOL!
