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!

These are the cables we bought because they said “You need these for HDTV.” There’s one input into the Wii, and four into the TV. Without looking I think they’re white, black and two red.

I’ve got to go out in a bit to return some rental chairs. I may try to stop by GameStop and ask those guys what they think.

It’s somewhere in the way that the TV is reading the Wii, or vice versa. I haven’t found anyone online with this specific problem yet.

Heh, I haven't had a connect-to-TV video game since my Atari 2600, so beyond "try swapping the cables around" I don't really have any advice to offer, sorry. :-)

Eek! No, we didn’t visit anything any wilder than the art museum...

I’m back! Give me a few minutes to collect my thoughts and then I’ll be over for my pooch...

Oh - btw... I turned off your toilet in the bathroom... There was a question of whether the water lines were leaking so he wanted all water turned off, and I couldn’t get your toilet to stop running. It’s OK to turn it back on.

Ah... I remember with quite a bit of nostaglia watching any bad version of LoTR movies we could find... remember? :~)

For LOTR, it was worth it. I'd still like to find the Engrish bootleg version.

For "Golden Compass", I'd like the copy to be near-perfect so I'm not distracted by lousy sound and video, and a camera that's not perpendicular to the screen (as my one-and-only viewing of "Rush Hour 3" was.)

In other newz, muh whole family went bowling today...and we never left the living room.

The Wii is cool. Monochromatic still, but cool.

Heh, sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

Did a major ‘cubicle cleanup’ today. Archiving and recycling. It’s pretty amazing the stuff that you find when you start rooting around in the files. ‘Bout halfway done.

Wonder where he got that visual.

Could be applicable to one or both of us, depending on the time of day and/or day of the week.
