The Hobbit Hole XXXV - ...is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

Posted on 01/03/2008 6:35:58 PM PST 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!

Is there any way to reach a Dell customer service number in an English speaking country?

If ya leave the Becker Tool at Home or break it.....

I can't leave my Beckers at home, they're all serving in Iraq or Afghanistan. And I'm not sure any ordinary mortal can break a Becker design.

The sales rep at Ontario Cutlery is hinting they bought the production rights, so we may soon see BK&T products made to the same high standards from a new American company. I'll have to check with my buddy, who gets to go the the SHOT show every year.

Hey Bear...when did we tell the leprosy jokes?

Leprosy is one of those topics that just keeps coming up again and again.

LOL! Even in the same order!

The sad thing is that I don’t remember either of the previous times, so I laughed at the exact same songs and jokes again...

‘animal rabies is considered endemic in Florida’. We have required annual innoculation.

Wake up, sleepies!

Time to go to the semi-annual “employment expo” here in Grand Rapids.

15 copies of resume with copy of DD-214 on the back— check.

Suit I haven’t worn since 2003— check.

Wife’s hastily wruitten/printed resume— check.

Wife— among the sleepies. Oh well, we have two hours before we leave.

Pray for us— she’s out of work entirely, which would be OK if my job’s pay rate didn’t have negative atmospheric pressure. We’d like to rectify both of those.

And in other newz - Gypsy isn’t doing a mini-version of Cujo today so we guess all’s well.

Bright and sunny, brisk but supposed to get into the 40s today. We’ll just take it one day at a time.

Hmm. Haven’t check our flowers yet, should do that. Picked up some windshield wiper blades at the parts store, going to put them on after a bit. Got some errands to run.
