The Hobbit Hole XIII - Let them pass! Let them pass!
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 07/13/2004 9:49:23 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Let them pass! Let them pass!
(Note to dwarves, this is only meant figuratively)

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!

This is a post of replying :)

I don't remember a TV show about a portable hole, but it may have been in the old D&D cartoon.

The portable hole was in a Warner Brothers cartoon.

Hey there, your Scottness... How is Tacoma? [sip]

I was gone there for some minutes talking to a guy from the office that stopped by.

Road Runner. Wile E. Coyote bought a mail-order Acme Portable Hole. It worked... I'm still looking for where to get one of those.

Well...it's hot...won't be able to convince the wife to go out for a cool one until the sun goes down, I think. Otherwise, well, I'm not thinking much -- I'm in shutdown mode!

And there was a cartoon about the scientist who invented the Portable Hole to escape his wife.

Acme doesn't have an online catalog?

As I recall, some crook stole it and used it to break into a bank.

What cartoon? I'm gonna guess either Wile E. Coyote or the Animaniacs might have one :)

We're watching "Equilibrium". Didn't one of you two mention having seen it recently? Anyway, enjoying it more than I expected here (had to take a break while my sister runs to the store for supplies)

It's like The Matrix crossed with 1984, with Farenheit 491 for good measure.

I remember it was Warner Bros. but it wasn't any of the regular characters.

Rober McKimson did the cartoon about Prof. Calvin Q. Calculus, inventor of the Portable Hole.
