Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Still round the corner we may meet...

• 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...
• 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!

Does the pork chart say you can cook 'em like that?

[Fedora]

Geesh...touch, touchy! ;-)

Sorry--I guess I'm just touchy 'cause'a all the hat-bashing that's been going on here lately :) Mr. Hat is sensitive, you know. . .

[Overtaxed]

Pork chart, shmork chart. As long as it tastes good.

[JenB]

Oh, ugh. Boromir the Mini-skirted (and skivvied!) Viking, milks the giant cow. An image I could have done without.

[Fedora]

I like boaters, that I do! :-D

Boaters are honorable hats, even in the Meiji era! :)

Haven't read "To Say Nothing of the Dog" yet, but mean to!

[Fedora]

His fashion statement lost something in the translation.

The original statement in Elvish read, "I'm a Viking lumberjack and I'm okay. . ."

[JenB]

Honorable hats... oh very dear.

Hmm. That's what RK is missing... not enough hats, other than those round peasant things.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Not personally, but I know who he is. He's the Police union head. Police unions are a pretty tight bunch, not quite as leftist as most other unions (like longshoremen, which we've got plenty of here) but still on the left side of the dial. They protect their members like mother-Grizzlies, that I can tell you.

Oh, ugh. Boromir the Mini-skirted (and skivvied!) Viking, milks the giant cow. An image I could have done without.

Boromir hails from a long and proud line of fine dressers:

[Scott from the Left Coast]

The job hunt process is an emotional nightmare. Lots of outdoor time helped me (and our weather has been a plus). I think eventually just sheer persistence wins out, dip your toe in enough opportunities and one of them will pan out. It's a bummer, a lousy process.

[Wneighbor]

HI ya'll! Home from work! Got out early and one of the other guys volunteered to close for me if I'll close for him Monday!

AND.... I only have 3 more classes till I'm out for 3 weeks!

[Wneighbor]

Excuses, excuses! ;-)

I know someone who drives back here almost every weekend from Manhatten to stay with his family...drives out after work on Friday, leaves Sunday afternoon. Granted, he's insane...but if you did sumpin like that you'd have a full day and most of another at WNs place.

Yeah! What Rosie said!!!

Okay, how bout thinkin' about it sometime when you have a 3 day weekend?

[Wneighbor]

Both dresses are nice... but I'm with ya'll. I like the yellow one best! :-) VERY pretty! :-)

[Fedora]

Sounds like we need to invent some RK hats. . .honorable hats, of course. Including boaters--ninja boaters, with hidden weapons inside. . .

Master of the Flying Guillotine

Master of the Flying Guillotine

As the narrator explains, the Ching Emperor has trained numerous assassins in the use of the Flying Guillotine to kill off Ming rebels. This deadly and impractical weapon looks much like a Ching-era hat with a saw blade brim and a long chain attached. The user throws the weapon with practiced precision onto his victim's head. A chain netting with blades at the bottom drops down and one quick pull severs the head. Best of all, it collapses for easy carrying while traveling.

[Fedora]

Hi, Wneighbor! Only 3 more classes--yay!!! :)

[HairOfTheDog]

Yeah - I think so too - and if Sonya is speaking to me by June, she can wear it!

[Wneighbor]

I think I am going to learn that she doesn't want my advice on children any more than she wanted my advice on her wedding. I don't know why I turned out so opinionated about stuff I don't know about! - I just did! And I don't think I am wrong! LOL

YOu can tell Sonya I said you were right! :-)

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

I was wondering when someone would post that... thanks for saving me the trouble of looking it up!

Good evening...

[Wneighbor]

Yeah - I think so too - and if Sonya is speaking to me by June, she can wear it!

She will be.... then she won't be... then she will be.... then she won't be.... but then she will be because she won't miss your wedding for anything! :-)
