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!

Dark Lord Bob wouldn't know a dark side if it bit him. That's what's funny. He's a horribly incompetent Dark Lord. His Legions of Mild Doom bear the dread Smiley-Face Mark on their helms.

Er.... You need a reason to want to take over the world? I thought everyone wanted to do that.

Heh...that's how I see it.

And honestly, though I didn't use it for this, in the past I've often checked on-line to be sure someone else hasn't already documented something. I mean...yeah, I can sit down and write down exactly how to install program X...but if someone else already did that and I can just tweak it to reflect where WE have the install stored and such-like...I'll do that.

I don't know what they're looking for, though. Guess I'll know more on Friday. It's another interview that actually means I gotta leave town. Scary!

"the dread Smiley-Face Mark on their helms."

That sounds pretty evil to me. Kinda of like in Stand Alone Complex.

It's the wal-mart smiley. That's scary but not evil, precisely.

(Haven't seen SAC... just the movie...)

Heh...there was a program that went around many moons ago that let you torture and kill a smiley face in various ways...like with a chainsaw or blowtorch or just plain shooting. It was evil and wrong and my coworkers were insanely fond of it, especially as he made pitiful sobbing and whimpering noises.

I wonder if it still exists, somewhere in the deep places of the Internet.

I went to a wedding once where the minister wore a robe covered in smilies. It was out doors with a 'Hawaiian theme' and the minister was gay so it was certainly the most non traditional wedding I ever have been to.

Well, I'm sure he looked like he was a gay fellow (in the correct use of that term) with all those smilies on him! ;o)

OK, thanks for taking care of all that. Think he would be able to do something about the kitchen light too? There's really not much substance left there to hold it, but it would be nice if we could get it back flush with the ceiling.

Thinking back about the Chevy... the last time it was out was on Friday when I bought the bedding, and I did leave the headlights on for about a minute till I realized and shut them off. But after I finished unloading, it started again fine to back it into its spot. Perhaps I should have run it some more to make sure it was fully charged back up again.

Ah - well that could be. But if it's that easily run down, it might be time to replace it.

True, but it helps with the word count to explain things a bit. ;)

reminiscing is good fluff, too.

"He hadn't seen her since the incident at the plaza when the supports under the dance stage gave way. The dancers tumbled in a jumble of brightly colored folk costumes. As the girls pawed their way clear of their giant circle skirts and tried to salvage their hair, a laugh could be heard from the bottom of the pile. That laugh was his indelible memory of her...."

Heh. More syllables bump up the FOG/readability index.
