The Hobbit Hole XXXII - Sweet is the sound of falling rain
The Freeper Hobbit Hole Blog ^ | December 1, 2006

Posted on 12/01/2006 12:55:15 PM PST by ecurbh

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!

the message I got was something like:

YOU MUST PERSONALLY STOP GLOBAL WARMING BEFORE THE END OF THIS COMMERCIAL OR WE WILL KILL THIS GIRL.

It was! Sheesh. I will not give in to terror demands. I've just never seen it go well.

I could switch to fluorescent bulbs and the train will probably still hit her. At least she won't be cold waiting for it to come.

Servers rebooted. Now I'm trying to decide if it's worth trying to go somewhere for the hour until work starts for real or if I should just sit here and goof off.

Heh. 'zactly.

It was the immediacy of it that really got me. That it had to be fixed NOW. TODAY. Tommorrow will be too late!! If you can't get to it until next week then you may as well not even bother!! Thanks for nothing!! I guess we'll just run this little girl over with a train to show you how pointless this all is!!

Do you get to leave early when you have to come in to restart servers?

One of the many things I like about my job is I put in eight hours, they're somewhat flexible, and if I'm out at 4, well, that's fine.

Yeah, I'll take off early unless something comes up.

I have a library run to make, so that'll work.

Ungh...haven't had coffee or breakfast, but it's hard to get motivated to go get coffee when you haven't had coffee. They have a cafe here, though. And that way I don't have to do traffic again.

*wipes coffee from the screen*

I saw the visual, but we had the sound down during the commericals. We were working on coordinating our calendars.

It's pretty ugly until August, which would be the month where we ~do not~ have a rental house at thebeach.

looks to me like an exclamation of disgust at finding an undesirable substance in the wasabi.

ROTFL!!Especially when spoken with the correct Japanese inflection!

That's the way things go, isn't it? When you can get away, you can't get to anything.

Talon's folks are probably coming to visit us in the next month or so (I need to get the house in order) just before my brothers come. And I can't take extra time off for any of those visits. Bah.

What time is the snow supposed to start for y'all? I think the snow is starting later this evening here.

We can get the time off in August. I'm just not willing/able to pay full price this time for a rental. We'll get back to that next year. I don't intend to ask my brother and sister-in-law again.

We always DVR Jack, so we never see the commercials unless someone doesn't reach the controller in time.

What was the commercial like, Hair?

Good grief. Even scarier are the comments about it. Do we even ~teach~ english or critical thinking anymore?

Sometimes I get tired of the flame wars and the tired out talking points here on FR... but then I spend a little time out there on the high-volume sites like yahoo and youtube... and I'm reminded that we do actually have a pretty high quality of discussion going on here. Most of the time.

SirKit has become a fan of YouTube, and found this one last night. Be sure to pay attention to the very end of it!
