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!

Okay - you can have as much poo as you want :~D

Another one of those for which you really want context.

[HairOfTheDog]

~shakes head~

Hullo Rose :~D

[SuziQ]

First goal: grow enough ivy type stuff to cover remaining fragments of frap. *sigh*

[Overtaxed]

Muh Heels lost.

The Cubs played split squad games so they had the opportunity to lose twice in one day. I haven't checked the final scores.

[osagebowman]

Bummer, there's always next year and the season is early for the Cubbies.

[g'nad]

So.... did you guys watch Dr. Who on SciFi? If so whaddya think?

I saw them... (one of the bennies of werkin' 3d shift I guess, much rather be sleepin' with mrsnad) not bad... a little corny, and not in the way that the old Dr. Who's were corny...

I wasn't overly impressed... but I might change muh mind...

definitely prefer BSG

[g'nad]

Heh, we had Chinese tonight

are the cookahraches better there than at the Thai place?...

[g'nad]

Can you believe it? I got it *all* for free!

I could get yuh a bunch of that fer free too... be muh pleasure... course... it wouldn't be horse poo...

[osagebowman]

Very good, nope, there was no errant insectavora in LSA's curry tonight, we're happy to say..

[g'nad]

that you know of anyway...

[osagebowman]

True enough, let's say there wasn't one doing the backstroke in the sauce.

[Corin Stormhands]

~sigh~

I had no intention of getting in an argument tonight. 2008 is a long way off. I gotta pace myself.

g'nite

[HairOfTheDog]

2008 is a long way off. I gotta pace myself.

I just got a political poll phone call. Asked me if I was favorable or unfavorable on GW Bush, HR Clinton, Illegal alien work visas, and Eminent Domain.

[SuziQ]

Asked me if I was favorable or unfavorable on GW Bush, HR Clinton, Illegal alien work visas, and Eminent Domain.

Wow, that was all over the map!

[HairOfTheDog]

Strange combination of issues, huh!

[Overtaxed]

I liked it when Rose's mother slaps the Doctor's face.

[JenB]

You should have claimed you believe all politicians are aliens trying to control our minds and then offered to sell the pollster a tinfoil hat. I would mess with their little minds...

[HairOfTheDog]

And we always wonder who those 4% are who are always Undecided/Other...

[JenB]

I'm not at all undecided. Other? Uh, yeah, definitely other.
