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!

It’s fun indulging in wild speculation based on vaguely remembered obscure facts! ;-)

You just gotta think like a Junior Detective...conspiracies are *everywhere*...

I’ll have ducks someday...if I ever have a bit of land with a pond.

Ah, it has a pond, now, huh? ;o)

All I need is a little bit of land for a garden...and some chickens...and a duck pond...just that and nothing more...

You know somebody should put together a plot map that links everything together...I'd buy it.

After this season, I'm definitely going back and watching through the whole series again...

(tonight we start Battlestar Galactica: The Miniseries)

I'd be interested in what you think!

Ooh...just realizing, I'll have SciFi...I'll be able to watch the next season as it happens. Cool...

We’ve got Verizon coming on Monday to replace Comcast phones, Internet, TV.

I am ~most~ excited. With the order we’ll get a 19 inch LCD TV. Finally after all these years in the house we’ll have TV back in our bedroom.

‘I’ll be able to watch the next season as it happens.’

Next season starts in April (confusing, isn’t it?)

Evening Corin - that was definitely a good show. The friday morning ‘bagels and coffee’ group agrees. One fella finally gave up and is watching all the shows, two or three a nite to catch up. He’s starting Season 3 this weekend. He agrees that the show has a lot going for it.
