The New Hobbit Hole

[Overtaxed]

that does it! I'm fuming....

Hehehehe....sounds like you need to borrow one of g'nad's axes.

Oh boy, Hair is going to regret not being here this morning. She doesn't like missing a good old fashioned elf-bashin' session.

[RosieCotton]

Where is Hair this morning, I wonder? Did she peek into the Hole, see all the ruckus in here and run away?

"Sir Robin ran away!
He bravely ran away! away! (I did not!)
When danger reared its ugly head
He bravely turned his tail fled. (I never!)
Brave Sir Robin turned about
And gallantly he chickened out!
Bravely taking to the street
He beat a very brave retreat
BRAVEST OF THE BRAVE! SIR ROBIN!" - Monty Python

Here's one he had lent to Corin:

I'm sure he wouldn't mind if you borrowed it for a few hours.

Oh please, oh please, oh please let this image BEHAVE!

They were forced to eat Robin's minstrels...and there was much rejoicing.

And I think this is the one called for....

Rosie! Why are you posting pics of stuff like that! You're gonna get banned for sure this time!

Just kidding, the pic is still an axe. ;^)

Two blades are better than one.

BTW, I know Hair is a big cloak fan, but don't they trip themselves up trying to fight wearing one of those things?

[rightwingreligiousfanatic]

A present from the cross-dressing elves. We'll have to see how long he keeps it....

You guys are having fun here, and I think I shall join you! - I have been over trying to think great thoughts on little coffee and hoping it comes out coherent.

It is a debate I started really late last night here:

NRA ruled unconstitutional according to Bill Cosby I first entered the thread at 24, after the premise of the post had been shown to be a big mistake.

[SuziQ]

I do! (And fried or in gumbo or in other dishes, too.)

Hey Rosie, you sure you're not a Southern girl? I wish I could find good okra up here in MA! It is usually with the Chinese foods (what up wit dat?), but it is always sort of icky looking. It has brown spots and is sort of dried up looking, ack, spit! I like the pods small and a nice smooth (ok, hairy) green. Hey maybe that's why hobbits like it, because it's hairy!!

I tried growing some when we lived in NJ. I got about 8-10 pods total because the nights didn't stay warm enough long enought set the blossoms and form the pods. I need a greenhouse; that's the ticket!

Little one was up with cold/cough last night, so I was out at 2:00 a.m. on my way to the drugstore.

Hey, you could have battled me for the precious! It was my first; I'm so excited! Of course no one in the world besides me was on that late. I don't know what it was, but I just wasn't tired. I am now, though!

[Corin Stormhands]

It was my first; I'm so excited!

I'm glad you waited until you got the ring...

"You have to be short to work on that thing!"

Even today, it's helpful to be a small person to work on boats. That thing had "black powder" cannons.

My house is built into a hillside (the only level ground is a little strip between the house and the road), so I may never have a garden.

Why not seed a large portion with wildflowers? The folks up the street from us did that and it was just lovely. At the end of the season, I think they just mowed them down and they came up again the following year (assuming they're perennials, of course). That way you don't have to mow the hill during grass growing season. Kills two birds with one stone! You get lots of pretty flowers, and you don't have to balance the mower on the hill.

[RosieCotton]

Hey Rosie, you sure you're not a Southern girl?

Nope! Some parts of the south are OK to visit, but I'll stay here, thanks!

My Mom's family is from Indiana and my grandmother does a lot of cooking that I guess almost qualifies as southern - i.e. biscuits and gravy go with any meal including breakfast, lots o' fried stuff (chicken, okra, etc.), grits, all that stuff.

And then some of my best friends when I was in the military were southern. There was one guy from MS (which isn't LA, but...) who made WONDERFUL gumbo, though he had to tone down the heat a bit for some of us Northerners...he'd make one pot of reallly hot stuff and one mild pot, and I'd usually mix some of each...guess I'm somewhere between tough and sissy when it comes to hot food!

[rightwingreligiousfanatic]

I gave you a supporting post on that thread. It is not an easy challenge you have taken on.... But it is a necessary one, especially here on FR

[SuziQ]

That was my impression too. Sort of like he needed more fiber.

Or new BVDs.

I CAN'T mow that hill (unless I get a weedwhacker, which I should - this year I just pulled stuff up by hand or killed them.) It's very steep, which is why I'm thinking tiers. But wildflowers might just work. I should look into that. The guy who lived here before did nothing with the backyard at all, and I followed suit this year, but even though you can't see the weeds and shrubs from the road, *I* see them, and it really bothers me.
