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!
Lot of strange threads tonight — guess the serious folks are at the beach! The blogger Wonkette says Mormons aren’t Christians in one of the weirder ones. Ever since Senator Craig hit the news only a few have had the stomach for serious commentary.
Didn’t mean to not ping you to my last post!
Ugh is right... put in 12.5 hours today. Now for a pot pie, and some bourbon and Dr Pepper, and then to bed, so I can do it all over again tomorrow.
Thought folks are supposed to smoke that stuff!
This is the Pacific Northwest. We’re progressive like that...
That. Was. Amazing. Somebody *gets* it. IKEA is not what it seems.
When I assembled Luke’s bedroom furniture, I said “no more.”
In other news, I have officially resigned as the family alarm clock.
Isn’t IKEA the ones who won’t provide plastic bags to American customers because Americans pollute too much? Like anyone can tote furniture in a plastic bag.
Well, if the bag was big enough. And strong enough.
I don't ~think~ so. I could be wrong, but I think I remember plastic bags from the one in Northern Virginia.
I thought the president (owner?) of the company....somewhere in Scandinavia...went on an ugly American rant and vowed to remove plastic bags from American stores. The thread comments went pretty much :”I didn’t see a thing I’d have.”
Oh, maybe so. It’s been a while since we’ve been there. I must have missed that thread.
Here’s the thread: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1788875/posts
He wanted to charge for bags.
Thanks.
It's fascinating.
Heh. Do they leave carrying plastic bags?
And they also try to tie big boxes of furniture to the tops of their Subarus and Volkswagens with that silly twine.
The lack of engineering sense boggles the mind.
No roof racks, right?
You'd think that folks who ride or ski would have bungees or webbing handy, or at least have a concept that bungees and webbing are a bit more substantive than IKEA twine.
IKEA twine isn’t even reusable.
