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!

LOL!
Those are just *wrong*. But funny.

Gave me the hots for red-haired Irishmen in kilts. You ever watch Monarch of the Glen on BBCAmerica? A darn charming series set in the Scottish Highlands with *tons* of kilt hotness. Darn charming!

I still have to be careful where I wear my “Infidel” shirt.
Convenience stores are a ... problem.

To: Ramius
I think the hippie shirt is my favorite.
But this ain’t the right town to wear it in...
To: RosieCotton
Oh, not at all... it’s the ~perfect~ town to wear it in.
:-)
Well, folkses... off I go to find an aeroplane. I’m sure it’s here someplace...

If anyone cares...I've finally read all of James Clavell's books except his first,
King Rat. This first of his I read, during Desert Shield (!!) was actually his last,
Whirlwind, which is currently out of print.
I'm exhauted and may wait another 16 years before looking for King Rat :)

Did you spot any kilts?
To: ExGeeEye
However you spelled it, I read it as ‘exhausted’. Funny how the mind does that!

Er, uh, no. But I put a bunch of B&B-type places on my “dream vacation” list for someday.

Evening Bear - That’s not necessarily a bad thing..
Getting a bit of rain here, almost enough to get the sidewalk damp.
To: osagebowman
Yup... it rained here most of the morning, but not heavily... just a standard shower type of rain. I'm not sure how much we got. Chance of rain persists through Saturday, last I heard.
To: 300winmag
That’s a scary photo, he’s an ‘unintentional discharge’ waiting to happen. Even if it’s staged, likely, it ain’t funny.
To: Lil'freeper
That would be fun to do!
To: Lil'freeper
Entmoot II at such a place would be nifty...
Well, I can dream.
To: Corin Stormhands
Yup, remember it well, the drive home from work that night was very slow that night. Folks driving very slow (on I-70) with their lights on, the sky spy traffic cop was likening it to when Kennedy was shot. Lucky for me, the fella riding with me was as cynical as I was, sorry and all that folks, but it wasn’t the end of civilization. Well, maybe for some, but not all of us.
To: 300winmag
Great photo - I’ll be forwarding it, if you don’t mind.
