The Hobbit Hole XVIII - Though we pass them by today...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 12/20/2004 9:01:36 AM PST by ecurbh

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Though we pass them by today...

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!

The Hole is great, yup, but it doesn't beat meeting for drinks and critiques.

We'll need a Green Dragon at the Compound.

Mmmm...drinks and critiques...

Ya know, with the evil twist I've thrown into my story, it may actually top 60k. We'll see. I'm not even to 20k yet. Been slacking.

I also have STILL only read the first two chapters of yours, mostly because I started reading Edith Wharton's House of Mirth and wanted to finish it. It was wretchedly depressing...dunno why I did it. I guess because it's enough of a classic that I felt like I should.

But I finished it today.

Cool.

I've been slacking too. Haven't written word one in days. Probably I'm just enjoying being a lazy, irresponsible bum before I go back to real life.

There are times when being a lazy irresponsible bum is the right thing to do...

Narrator: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls! Larry the Cucumber
presents, in a sequential image, stereophonic, multimedia event, The
Song of the Cebu!

Larry: Cebu! This is a song about a boy...a song about a little boy
and his Cebus...a song about a little boy and his 3 Cebus... the little
boy who had a sick Cebu, a sad Cebu, and a mute Cebu. and also a
hippo. um, um... this is a picture of me at the airport. this is my aunt Ruth. this
is me at a bullfight. This is me fighting the bull.

Jimmy, Johnny, & Junior: Ooooh!

Larry: this is me and the bull.

Jimmy, Johnny, & Junior: Aaaah!

Larry: This is me and the bull and... i think that's the bull's cousin.
he's a Cebu.

Archibald: Hold it! You call this a multimedia event? This is a slide
projector and a bed sheet! And what on Earth is a Cebu, anyway?

Larry: It's kind of like a cow. See?

Archibald: Yes. Well, very good. This could be interesting. Carry on!

Larry: Cebu! Sing it with me! Cebu!

Jimmy, Johnny & Junior: Cebu!

Larry: Boy is riding with Cebu

Jimmy, Johnny & Junior: Boy is riding with Cebu

Larry: Into town in his canoe

Jimmy, Johnny & Junior: Into town in his canoe

Larry: Sick Cebu is rowing and sneezing. Achoo moo moo, achoo moo moo,
achoo moo moo, achoo moo moo moo moo

Jimmy, Johnny & Junior: Achoo moo moo, achoo moo moo, achoo moo moo,
achoo moo moo, achoo moo moo, achoo moo moo moo moo

Larry: Hippo chewing on bamboo

Jimmy, Johnny & Junior: Hippo chewing on bamboo

Larry: Can't see boy and three Cebus

Jimmy, Johnny & Junior: Can't see boy and three Cebus

Larry: Sad Cebu is rowing and crying. Boo-hoo moo moo, boo-hoo moo moo,
boo-hoo moo moo, boo-hoo moo moo moo moo

Jimmy, Johnny & Junior: Boo-hoo moo moo, boo-hoo moo moo, boo-hoo moo
moo, boo-hoo moo moo, boo-hoo moo moo, boo-hoo moo moo moo moo

Larry: Tries to tell the other two

Jimmy, Johnny & Junior: Tries to tell the other two

Larry: Mute Cebu is waving and grunting. Mmm-hmm mmm mmm, mmm-hmm mmm
mmm, mmm-hmm mmm mmm, mmm-hmm mmm mmm mmm mmm

Jimmy, Johnny & Junior: Mmm-hmm mmm mmm, mmm-hmm mmm mmm, mmm-hmm
mmm mmm, mmm-
hmm mmm mmm mmm mmm

Larry: Uh-oh.

Archibald: Wait! What happens next?

Larry: Um ...

Archibald: Does the hippo see them? Is the poor mute Cebu successful in
communicating the imminent danger to the other passengers? Is the boy
injured? Why is the sad Cebu sad? Is the canoe wood or aluminum?

Larry: Oh look! There's me and Bob at Sea World! Oh, wow. Forgot about
that one. There's me and that bull again.

Archibald: You can't just start a song and leave it hanging like that!
You know, I've come to expect a lot more from you. This is quite
disappointing! I'm going to have to speak to Bob about this.

Larry: Oh look, a Cebu! Cebu!

Jimmy, Johnny & Junior: Cebu!

Larry: No, wait ... that's a water buffalo.

Jimmy, Johnny & Junior: No more song about Cebu! Need another verse or
two! Audience is standing and leaving, bye-bye moo, bye-bye moo, bye-bye
moo, bye-bye moo moo moo moo

Jimmy: I want my money back!

Johnny: Yeah, that'd be ... that'd be good.

We like the last verse best - "Audience is standing, and leaving, bye-bye-moo-moo".

Hey, guess what!

Yesterday Steve spoke to a guy that helps him sign up for his classes. This guy has a couple of VW Beetles. Apparently he said he'd give one to Steve. Year 1970! It's not drivable, (meaning it'll need work) but apparently, it RUNS!

I don't know anything more about it than that. As soon as I know more I'll let you know!
