The Hobbit Hole XXXVII - ...Down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed!

Posted on 09/25/2008 6:43:34 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!

I dunno if this as at all worth considering...but one of my brothers has one of these things. He really likes it.

It's completely separate from the computer--it does have to plug into your internet router, but then it works on its own. Basically lets you watch any of the Instant Watch Neflix stuff on the TV like a DVR or Tivo device. Would only be Netflix, though, and personally I don't like the idea of buying something that's so tied to one service...but I guess it's no different than the cable company DVRs....

Oooh! I missed that!

Wooohoooo!

I think I’ll likely spend Saturday watching at least part of the last season (minus stoopid Lee stuff) and *then* watch the new episode. It was getting pretty complicated toward the end.

Yeah...I’ve seen that and I agree with ya...too tied up with just netflix...

I think a “projector” would work with my computer, but of course you’re talking big buck then...huh?

I thought it was a pencil. A whistle that small would surely bring down a cat!

It sure looks like a Feadog pennywhistle...like the ones I’ve got! But it sure is small, I agree.

Yep...if a G whistle could bring the demise of my mom’s poodle, that little thing could cause some real damage! LOL

I’ll show that to SirKit. We were going to look at ways to watch the Netflix downloads on our nice big TV, rather than my computer monitor.

Say... I read before that you've been watching Buffy, but I didn't realize you were watching it on your laptop. A few years ago Rose and I started watching Buffy on one of the cable channels, and as I did back then I started recording all of the episodes on my computer. I think I have all of them saved on CD (I didn't have a DVD burner back then), so the quality isn't great (similiar to a VCR tape) but you can play them using any DVD player and a TV.

Which seasons do you need?

Do you have ALL of them??? I’d love all of them! Would you copy them and send them to me or how would it work? How could I help you with the payment aspect?

I love Buffy.

Yep, all seven seasons, missing one episode I think.

Let me think about how we can get them to you, and I'll get back to you.

You could get one of these but the picture quality might be bad.
