The Hobbit Hole XXXVI - O! Water cold we may pour at need...
Posted on 05/03/2008 8:48:06 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!

Yeah - we think the Tiger looks like Yoda... the way his ears tip forward and he holds them straight out sometimes. ;~)
Ranger is not a bad name at all for the big black one. :~)
To: SuziQ
His ears tip over on the ends...so he does look like Yoda. ;-)
I think both of the black kittens are girls, though we still haven’t had it really confirmed.

We're waiting until mid-summer for Ironman to come on at the beer and burger theater. We love that place! The kids can't wait, and are going to see Indiana Jones today. I'll wait for it to come to the beer and burger theater before I go see it.

Whatever makes sense! Just let me know.
To: RosieCotton
In Japan, high school age Girl Scouts are called Rangers. I think the US troops should adopt the same name. ‘Senior Girl Scouts’ is just lame.

Hi all - Corin just called, to let me know that Nana passed away this morning. They are on their way there, will check in when he can.
I let him know that everyone would certainly have him in their prayers.

I think I forgot to ping you two also in my hastily typed ping. Please see above post about Corin’s Nana.
To: HairOfTheDog; Corin Stormhands
Thank you for the update. Our prayers will include you and your family.
Blessings to you Corn,

You are most certainly in our prays Corin.

They didn’t try to make him into the same sort of action hero as in the originals, which would have been just silly.
Acutally we saw Raiders the next day on DVD and I did not think there as a big difference in his 'action heroness'. A little slower but not less tough and determined. Indy always got through mainly on guts and determination. I can't think of anything bad to say about the movie. I liked it through and through.
To: HairOfTheDog
I have no idea why you posted that to me... kitties are for punting...

A question for anyone that can answer it. So I have this .44 Rem Mag Winchester lever gun. Nice piece, handy size and plenty of stopping power. But it is a real shoulder breaker (yeah I am a wimp). I forgot the round existed so it never occurred to me to find this out before, but can I put .44 Special through a .44 mag leveraction? Does it work like it does for revolvers? What I have seen so far leads me to think I can but I am not sure.
