Eleventh Thread: Wedding Edition: The Hobbit Hole XI - No One Admitted Except on Wedding Business!
New verse:
Upon the hearth the fire is red, |
Still round the corner there may wait |
Home is behind, the world ahead, |
A converted old submarine buried to the conning tower (designed to be under water anyway, and how cool to climb down the ladder and spin the wheel on the hatch), or
a connected series of previously unused underground tanks gas stations keep the fuel in, again buried and converted to living quarters (designed to be buried, to keep liquid on the inside from getting out and therefore vice-versa) or
a concrete bunker with aero- and hydro-dynamic curves so that high winds or unexpected water would just go around.
Someone else had that last idea.
I would want to be able to secure heavy steel shutters over all the openings before evacuating.
Not enough windows. :)
Liked that one. Haven't seen a copy since 1983.
Have Space Ship, Will Travel
Found it in paperback a couple years ago, currently 3 feet away :)
"Little Pink Houses...for you and me..."
3BR, 1.5BA, brick FP, fin LL, form LR&DR, huge kit?
Those would make good Hobbit holes :)

Corin wasn't getting much done in the attic, so he went to the gym.
It's the same old chain of events. I can't get into the attic to be productive until wife is ready to get stuff out for the children's clothing and toy sale. After Nana got better the "chair" and both walkers went up there.
I got thru a couple of boxes this morning, but I had to sit at the top of the steps to do so. Couldn't get in any further.
Wife is doing a "clean sweep" of her desk and the living room. That's where she sets up for the consignment sale because all the clothes have to be ironed, labeled and on hangers. Once she's done, then we'll get to work on the consignment stuff and I can go back to the ~attic~.
Plus, we need a strategery to hide from Luke the toys we're selling.
1009: Hamlet
NOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!
Dunno what "LL" is either but I just saw it in a real estate ad.
One ad was advertising a lot with deer. Oh yeah....big seller with me. /sarcasm.
I take it you've seen that one :)
Okay. Let me know when you want to watch "Time Chasers" then. BTW I might be able to copy some of these once I get my second VCR fixed.
Bring me a bucket. . .
just kiddin...
...but I'd be afraid to watch...
Suggestions?
The version of "Hamlet" they're spoofing is blasphemous, redeemed only by the spoof. It's a dubbed German version, with one of the dubbed voices supplied by Ricardo Montalban. The MST3K crew were tricked into picking it by Pearl who, to demonstrate her mercy, decided one week to allow the crew to pick their own movie. The crew tried to think of a nice, safe classic that no one could possibly screw up. . .
