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!

Dammit you just gotta love this dude. :-)

Heh...I first saw Dom as a teenager - or maybe just barely not one - in a mystery series I liked. Took me FOREVER to make the connection when I started seeing previews and screen shots from The Movies, though. I guess the wig threw me for a loop! I know he looked REALLY familiar, but I couldn't figure out why.

Finally figured out he was Jeffrey from Hetty Wainthrop Investigates.

Cool! I loves me some Rummy. *grin*

My dad has become an idiotliberal as a result of some mid-age crisis and despises the guy. Tore him up to hear me sing his praises.

He got his revenge though by altering the Dubya on my desktop background to look like Hitler. Grrrrr.....

Yup. I changed it back to the original one, but now the Hitler one flashes on every time I start up and log off.

Can't figure out how to get rid of it.

Sounds like he's substituted and renamed the default windows splash with his own pic. Takes a little bit for windows to finish booting and swap the desktop to the user selected pic. that might 'splain how come it only shows at logon and logoff.

Just a guess.

I don't remember offhand where the splash screen lives. But I think it's just a jpg that can be replaced with any jpg. I'll look 'round fer it.
