The Hobbit Hole XXXIV - But better than rain or rippling streams...

Posted on 08/07/2007 7:52:15 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

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!

WOO HOO! Sea people! Do they build castles and play basketball and hold hands and stuff?

Look at me, living free
Free and clean amongst the Sea People
We look for pirates and search for gold.
Life is an adventure with the Sea People

Stan: What are we gonna do with them?
Cartman: [at the window] Who cares?! Throw ‘em away!!
Kyle: [approaches the tank] Hey! Let’s pour them in the teacher’s coffee tomorrow morning.
Stan: Yeah, that’d be funny.
Cartman: [brightly] Heheh, okay, okay.

Sister Mary Hamburner’s stepson forgot to take them back to school

Yuh, right!

We're just fixing to hit the road. I hope we'll get to see you, or at least holler at you on the way through tomorrow or the next day!

Speakin' of cameras, as promised...

The branch is just "resting" on the roof. Best I can tell, there's no damage to the roof.

Um, it’s not like ~I’m~ gonna climb up there. I think we’re gonna ask our tree guy to take out the whole tree. It’s on my want to get rid of list anyway. I was just hoping to spend that money next year, not this year.

Probably had some damage to it from the storm the other night. Last night’s storm wasn’t that bad. It was probably just ready to go.

Up until the other night, it’s been pretty dry here as well. Even with the rain we got we’re still not back up to “normal” levels.

Well, that is a branch alright, yup, and it’s on your roof, yup. Glad it’s only on the roof not in the roof. Best get on the tree-guy’s list, he’s likely to busy for a while.

btw, expect a letter from your friendly, helpful city about the branch of your roof and how you should remove it.
