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!

Say what you want about paranoia, at least it’s an ethos...

I don't even know what that guy is talking about.

As the resident Pentecostal, I can tell you with some authority that there is no interpretation.

We might also consider for a moment the fact that no sane parents would give their children books which portrayed a set of "good" pimps and prostitutes valiantly fighting a set of "bad" pimps and prostitutes, and using the sexual acts of prostitution as the thrilling dynamic of the story.

There's your nano plot. :~)

Oh, so *that’s* why I was getting “jealous writer” vibes from that piece! Obviously he’s mad that his books aren’t popular like JKR’s.

If you ask me, all these HPITD folks have a very unhealthy obsession with evil.

So either the thread dementor lifted this idea off the silly author or vice versa (remember the red herring argument re teenage male homoeroticism???), either way, it suggests that opponents of HP are fixated on sexual perversions.

Just saying, is all.

~sigh~

I feel like haffa cuppa carp warmed over. Mrs. and Jr. got Luke’s cold (again, contracted at my Mom’s), and it degenerated in to a flu-ish type of carp, followed by severe sinus infections. They both went to the doctor yesterday for antibiotics and have been wiped out with severe migraines.

I stayed home yesterday ‘cause we had a business appt. in the a.m. and then we were going to finish de-frapping Luke’s room whilst he’s still gone (he gets back today). That didn’t happen.

I’m hoping I’m not picking up the cold, but I’m feeling some of the effects this morning.

Hi folks, kind of agreed with the HP thread point that there is a big difference between what TLOTR says about gaining magical power, and what appears to be the approach in HP (confession, haven’t read a page of HP or seen a movie).

Speaking of TLOTR and movies, remember the trilogy will be on TNT tonight, tomorrow and Sunday nights (tonight at 8 PM).
