Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!
O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.
O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.
O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!
It was an article from a Minnesota Newspaper titled "When an intruder enters, what's your best move?" It was a good article on self defense strategy and self defense law.
But the comments took a weird turn when someone started talking about making sure you own a 'drop gun' that is not traceable to you, to plant on the body, and how to tamper with a crime scene to cover your tracks. It was really stupid.
I posted that it is a HUGH mistake to even talk that way, that it made a legitimate right to self defense look unhinged and criminal. and then reported it. I guess the mod figured out there were so many comments it was hard to delete just the bad ones.
Better put with fewer words :~)
Ah - well sorry it was lost... It could have been a good discussion :~)
Greeaaat.
Some FReepers sure do make FReepers look nuts.
You can blame that on us liberal-Rudy supportin'- seminar posters...
'least that's what they're sayin' on other threads.
Not in this case. ;~)
~looks for fish to slap Corin with~
Well, that's just what I've been called ~today~.
I was called a "moral f-ing cripple" on the blogs the other day.
I bring out the best in people.
Apparently :~)
It's good for ya.... builds character. :~)
Some would say I'm already enough of a character.
I approved of your astronaut lady post...
I feel bad for her...to be so smart, go so far and then obviously suffer some sort of mental problem.
I just can't make fun of someone like that.
Hey! Can you help me?
Is it around 2pm in CT right now?? Do I have my time zone right in my head?
That Lileks piece was great, I love his stuff. Personally I'm voting for the ham sandwich.
It's 2:10ish in the EST.
Ok...
Someone in CT is wanting to do a phone interview with Steve.
I figured it would be at least good practice for him but I needed to set up the time and wasn't sure exactly of the time difference...one or two hours, you know...
Thank you very much!
Some of the folks that show up on blogs *almost* make me want to start one of my own, just for the sheer popcorn factor.
Ecurbh was reading some posts last night from a raving moonbat that believes we'd be better off if we went back to hunting and gathering - no trade allowed. It'd save the planet and stuff.
Highly entertaining.
I'm not sure how I helped. Some states don't ~do~ Daylight Savings Time, so I'm alway second guessing when I try to figure out the time in the middle of the country.
Ask the boys to figure it out. Tell Mathew it's homework.
Connecticut isn't in the middle of the country...but I admit I was confused, too...first thought she meant CST. Or do you, 2J?
Maybe it's just me, but I can't quite imagine the 2Js living in Connecticut.
Yeah, Connecticut.
Heh heh...no kiddin'.
