The Hobbit Hole XIX - Tomorrow we may come this way...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 01/27/2005 9:59:05 AM PST by ecurbh

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Tomorrow we may come this way...

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!

Thought you might enjoy it whilst savoring a sundowner.

Well, sometimes I channel Robert Ruark, other times, Peter Hathaway Chapstick. Have read most of their offerings many, many times.

Evening Winmag - would a few extra knives be more appropriate than a donation? They seem to have two sizes, any preference?

Considering the instant hit these knives are, I'd say $30 to buy the knife from SG goes further than $30 cash to me. After handling one, you might want to consider keeping one for yourself.

As far as the shorter blade goes, I haven't handled one yet, but I bought up all those that Camillus had left. I'm sure we can find good homes for them, as long as we don't include them in the same shipment as the longer blade. :)

Brit Hume just said the Mom gave the Iraqi lady her son's dog tags.

Actually, in the Stormhands household "Whose Line is it Anyway" is on now. I believe the President was referring to Pelosi and Reid when he said...

"And the whole world now knows that a small group of extremists will not overturn the will of the Iraqi people."

It truly brings a lump to the throat and a tear to eye.

I got all choked up at that moment too. And our President looked teary-eyed as well. *snif*

Evenin' everyone! The SOTU speech was fantastic, despite the Dems rude and inappropriate outbursts during Dubya's address about SS.

Roger that. The dems showed how classless they are.

What a bunch of losers. Now I understand they're gonna make Dean the chair of the DNC... wow... I thought I could only dream of them going down the tubes this fast.

Have you ever noticed that when Nancy Pelosi blinks... her shoulder blades twitch?

I think the last lift was a couple stitches too tight.

Yup. It's official. The Democrats are now only relevant to themselves. No one else gives a crap.

The Democrat Party is nothing more than a poorly run circus.

~snicker~

A few more lifts and she can be the Bearded Lady of the Dem circus.

They're really making Howard "The Scream" Dean their party leader? Wow... we couldn't ask for more from them.

Yeouuuch. :-)

Funny line from the live thread was: "How come the flag behind her isn't moving? She looks like she's facing into a 100 mph Gale..."

A couple of years from now they're gonna all claim that it was a dastardly plot by Karl Rove. I'm only half kidding about that. Quote of the night from DU: "Wow, this whole freedom for the world thing is really scary". I kid you not.
