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!

You keep using that plot. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Hmmm.
Not the emo teens but I think I do see a way to set it in generic small-town America... that might make things better... all I have to figure out now is the magic system and what power everyone is fighting over...

Er... no.
This year is angst and evil, not humor.

They could be really, really bad pickles.

I'll have to tell her another day, cause I didn't get up there. I was just not able to get to sleep last night, and finally collapsed, exhausted, about 6am. I knew that I'd never be able to drive the 6 hour round trip, so I got up about 10 to call Rosie to let her know, but had to leave messages. Then I went back to bed. SirKit said she called to let me know she'd gotten the messages. I'm hoping I can meet up with her Friday or Saturday, since she leaves on Sunday.
I just could not get a full lung of air all night long, and we finally realized a little while ago, it's probably because of all the construction we've been doing in the kitchen. D'OH! I'm taking an expectorant, so I'm hoping that will help.

Nobody could make pickles that bad.
To: Overtaxed
I just found a copy of “No Plot, No Problem” at the half price bookstore so I’m hoping it inspires me.

Heh. I might just sit this out. Ya know, they coulda picked a better month for this...like maybe January? It’s got only a one-day holiday.
To: JenB
Maybe their “magic” is fueled by angst and anger.
