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!

He said the S&M convention the previous week was kinda wild.

There was a now-legendary incident at an SF con in 1997; by way of disclaimer, I wasn't there and have only read accounts of the incident posted online. Anyway, apparently there was a mini-convention of S&M enthusiasts within the main convention; these were SF fans who were attending the con and planned a "get-together" in one of the suites to celebrate their, uhm, *other* interests. The party progressed, and some folks left to their rooms to pursue more private activities. One such couple decided that the exposed sprinkler system pipe running along the ceiling of their 4th floor room was in just too handy a location to pass up. They discovered, to their chagrin and to the chagrin of much of the rest of the hotel guests, that the pipe was not designed to support the weight of a human being.

As a result of the pipe breaking (at 5:15 am Sunday morning) their room was flooded, all of the rooms surrounding theirs were flooded, and most of the three floors below their room were flooded; also, because of the sudden change in the water pressure the fire alarm went off, causing the entire hotel to be evacuated. At 5:15 am.

Despite the excitement, the con continued; Sunday was the last day of the con, anyway. However, the hotel declined the opportunity to host that SF con the following year. ;)

gay French

Isn't that redundant as well as reiterative and repetitive?

Of course, the most offensive part of that costume is actually the hat. ;~D

I've always wanted to try an Arab costume entry at the Arab show that's held at the same time as the dressage show at the Mason, MI fairgrounds. I wanted to dress up as a Jordanian Desert Patrol, but Marl said the TDs would probably frown on the real AK47.
