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!

There is a thread or two in the Hobbit Hole Topic which discuss the ‘human hobbit’.

I just downloaded a trailer for "Indiana Jones: Kingdom of the Crystal Skull". Wow!

It's set in the mid-1950s, and looks like they have a "raiders"-type truck chase through the same warehouse where we last saw the Ark. The bad guys seem to be wearing US Army uniforms, and Indy gets to brandish a RPG.

I couldn't tell if his S&W N-frame is making a guest appearance.

Teeheee - the psycho boss, for whom I no longer work, has reportedly banned all Dilbert cartoons from the workplace. Apparently they are “offensive” and “not appropriate”. *sigh* So happy to have the NewJob.

Sounds like you need new contacts. ;o)

That's the problem. These are the new contacts.

Using spoiler font just in case there's someone who didn't watch last night:

So, for one split second in the last scene when Sayid was walking by the animal cages, did anyone think that the next member of the "Oceanic 6" could be Vincent????

;-)

You know, the number one sign of a bad bad office is banning Dilbert.

Got a source, by any chance?

Nah, like I said, I heard it on Paul Harvey on the radio yesterday morning. But he did say Coumadin, allergic reactions, and made in China. That's all I remember.

I don’t trust Paul Harvey ever since I happened to hear him on the radio telling the story of the Battle of Marathon and being completely wrong about what the runner said (he said the runner managed to say “marathon” before he died, which was where the battle was, and would make no sense, whereas the story claims he said “nike”, or victory, which would have been relevant.)

Heh...that seems rather Dilbertian in and of itself...

Yeah, when someone tells a long drawn out story obviously intended to elicit an emotional responds and then gets the ending factually wrong that pretty much blows all their credibility.

Sigh...I gotta go...meetings at 10, 11:30 and 2...

I’d rather have a root canal.

Yeah, especially when it makes you say, “oh, you’re a moron” instead of getting the point of the story.

It wasn't Coumadin, it was Heparin. Here's one article FDA Warns Docs about Blood-thinner

Ah, thanks!

For Heparin, it makes sense that I wouldn’t have heard much talk around the office about it, ‘cause it’s an injectable rather than pills. Not that I have any say in either one...we just hear stuff is all. So I wondered!
