The Hobbit Hole XXIV - Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...
Please see our Hobbit Hole Troop Support project blog! ^

Posted on 08/24/2005 9:50:25 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...

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!

It's vey funny, but does have some pretty bad language and a bit of crude humor. Just to warn ya.

If'n I get a job...we'll have to get Netflix. One of these days...

Wasn't Helen Mirren one of "The Faculty"? She's a great actress.

Does ice cream go with beer?

At WAZZU, that's known as a Beer Float. You can buy them at local 'stabishments. :-) No... they're not good. But they're fun.

Hmmm.... I don't think lutefisk goes with ice cream. Or brussel sprouts. Or lasagna. Or a lot of things off the top of my head.

Maybe not mixed together. But as a side dish...why not?

And flying with a 3-year old doesn't sound appealing.

Duct. Tape. :-)

No, but Piper Laurie was. Here's the IMDB entry.

But... that's not fair. Lutefisk doesn't go with *lutefisk* fer cryin' out loud... it is ROTTING FISH. Nothing really "goes" with rotting fish. Except for maybe antibiotics. :-)

We're back from some dinner and pints. I feel nice and relaxed now.

Maybe I'll play my new game for a while. I think shooting some Nazis sounds like fun.

Mmmmm... lutefisk. Luckily, one of the things I was never subjected to during my tenure in MN.

Lots and lots and lots of alcohol, maybe?

One advantage to having a cultural background you're not allowed to be proud of (wasp) is that at least we don't have to eat dreadful food. Like rotting fish. Or pierogies.

mmmm...nachos...

I just ate a Krispy Creme donut to help me decide what I want to ~really~ eat.

Just got some good meat and cheese from the deli. May have to go for a sammich with chips.
