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!

One of the qualities of the Internet is that this type feels enabled to act in the virtual world in a way that would not be possible in the physical world!

Yup. In other words, speak trash freely without worry of getting your behind kicked into next week.

[Overtaxed]

Mmmmmmm.....dark chocolate.....

[RosieCotton]

I *love* that movie. Sooo many good parts...

[RosieCotton]

Cures most ills.

Gonna have Tension Tamer now to take care of the rest...

[RosieCotton]

Rats...and that's my next to the last tea bag where Tension Tamer is concerned.

[Overtaxed]

Need....chocolate!

Going to make some cocoa with the dark cocoa powder in a bit...movie's just ending.

Steve McQueen is in the cooler again.

[Overtaxed]

Catnip tea.

[Ramius]

thump-thump-thap. thump-thump-thap. thump-thump-thap...

It seems to me that often those who act in this way on-line would be the last to do so for real - too many negative consequences for them if they tried it.

[RosieCotton]

Heh...Great Escape?

I like that move. Except for parts inside the tunnel. *shudder*

[Overtaxed]

Heh

He came out better than David McCallum.

[RMDupree]

I'd agree with that.

There are plenty of nasty RL people who could use the internet to spread their vileness around in a larger, more destructive way than they ever could in the real world.

I'm afraid, they'll always be around. :-(

[Overtaxed]

It's better than Master Ninja I.

[RosieCotton]

Just a bit...

[Overtaxed]

No hamsters.

[HairOfTheDog]

And to heck with them, really. We should do what we have always done, which is share our lives with each other.

Sorry I brought it here. It stressed me out for a time, but no more. In the greater scheme of things I'd rather have shared all our moots and things here than to have not. While we should always be careful about security issues, I don't want people to think they shouldn't share pictures, we love pictures!

Twas the coolest day of my life :~D

[RMDupree]

Off to read and then to bed.

Nighty night Hobbit Hole.

[RosieCotton]

Is that good or bad?

[RMDupree]

That was a marvelous day. And one memory I'll gladly revisit in my dreams tonight. :-D

18 more days...

[RosieCotton]

Not that you're counting...

Good night, Ruthy!
