The Hobbit Hole IX - A sudden tree or standing stone

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

A sudden tree or standing stone

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've also seen clips of a 1943 Batman serial that looked like it may have been pretty bad, though I've never actually seen it in full.

That reminds me of some of the trashy SF movies from the early 50s. A few greats, mostly junk. But they all have a certain amount of charm to them. The same thing for the SF magazines.

Interestingly, Star Trek DS9 did an ep once with everyone out of their DS9 personae, and into a setting of one of the famous New York City SF publishing boilerrooms. Quite well done, especially if you can figure out the famous SF personalities they portrayed.

The only decent thing about Star Trek Voyager were the episodes that featured Tom Parris and his whacked-out black&white holodeck simulations of the very worst of 1950s space opera serials. The hokiness was quite authentic, and showed a great mastery of cornball SF.

Same here. I thought about going to the gym...briefly.

I could do with another cup of coffee on the deck and then a nap, but gotta go.

I need something with caffeine. And mind-altering substances.

Church soon. Then we come home and the guests descend. This will be fun.

Hehehe....had Bailey's on the flight out and I've only got three coupons left...enough for a glass of wine on the way to Chicago.

But the good news is that I should be getting another free ticket and a new book of coupons.

Still sitting around here trying to get started on projects... been running through wedding plans and Dad has been telling me that everything I think of won't work.

ecurbh! I wanna come home!

Dad is thinkin' we will load up the truck with stuff from here to go to the dump, and he may just drive me down there to load our dump stuff. Then he can just go home from the dump and I am not stranded needing picked up.

So I'll be home today. I think.

Definitely! Even the junky ones are fun to watch/read. I just picked up this one on sale for $1:

THE ROCKET MAN (1954)

An orphan comes by a magical space gun that helps him in a fight to save the local orphanage. Look at the title. Be aware that the cast features John Agar, Anne Francis and Beverly Garland in it. Know that the script was co-written by Lenny Bruce. Read that plot description again. Know that the movie is one of those small-town, feel-good, light comedies about nice decent folk being manipulated by a corrupt politician who not only engages in fraud, but also drives drunk and almost runs over a child. Then you can do as I did as I watching this one; scratch your head a lot.

I like the magazines, too--have some 1950s issues of Amazing, Fantastic Science Fiction, Fate, The First World of If, Other Worlds, Startling Stories, and Wonder Stories. Occasionally they have a good story by a major SF author, but mostly they're just silly entertainment :)
