The Hobbit Hole XVII - A new road or a secret gate...
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 11/03/2004 6:16:42 PM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

A new road or a secret gate...

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!

Evening - "people think we're weird." US, they think that about US.

Can't figure how anyone would think that, this is one of the sanest places and normalest group that I know of.

Evening : We found it to be an interesting movie, kinda quirky with some great Minnesota accent/humor in it. A bit uneven at times but a few memorable scenes. 'Specially the one with the brush chipper.

Evening - I'd say move-moot was a success. Weather was perfect and the 'one of the great libraries of the world' was moved swiftly and efficiently. Topped of by a great lunch.

Miss Kitty is a great cat, coal black and a pelt like velvet.

Ruthee - yup, we ended up there.

Yes...a finer collection of perfectly normal rangers, dwarves, elves, hobbits,

and one nazgul.

Haven't seen him? Well, technically, you haven't seen any of them, except on Weathertop...

Or I could keep them in the dark and put some bills in there with them. Maybe they'll teach money to multiply.

young disabled man from my youth group just left... I put up a blind for him so he could deer hunt this youth season...

we saw nine, including a shooter eight-pointer, but he never gave us a shot... young fella took a 110 yard shot at a doe, and missed clean... I told him if'n yer gonna miss, miss big... I can't abide chasin' a wounded animal...

he had fun, that's important...

the highlight of the evenin' fer me was watchin' a covey of 14 quail pass by at 10 yds...

I thought I was up on Tolkein Anthropology!

Augh!

Please tell me...what's a "bejorn"?

I really hope there isn't some supersecret humiliating initiation I have to go thru to find out...

I've never seen Fargo, but it didn't look like something that would interest me.

The plot is a little rough, the language is coarse at times, but Fargo has fabulously drawn characters that you'd love.... like Oh Brother Where Art Thou and Raising Arizona and the other Coen Brothers films... and the same great cinematography.

The movie isn't about the crime that happens, but rather about these characters reacting to their situation, if you know what I mean.
