The Hobbit Hole VI - And Whither Then? I Cannot Say...

[ecurbh]

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

And Whither Then? I Cannot Say...

• First thread: New Zealander builds Hobbit hole
• Second thread: The New Hobbit Hole
• Third thread: The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads! (Congratulations, we filled it up!)
• Fourth Thread: The Hobbit Hole IV - The Road Goes Ever On...
• Fifth Thread: The Hobbit Hole V - Where Many Paths and Errands Meet...

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

Somehow it always gets back to being Corin's fault...

Welcome schlohweiss!

[Wneighbor]

He coulda if'n he'd a wanted to!

MMmm..mmm I cried the day Dale Earnhardt died.

And the day Waylon Jennings died.

*snif*

[schlohweiss]

Yes he drove in Nascar with Willie and the boys, duh!

[JenB]

Blah, blah, blah. Should I sue my parents for concentrating on math instead of pop culture?

[schlohweiss]

Thanx for the welcoming, nice to meet you!

[Wneighbor]

Hmmmm... I didn't seem to do too bad Jen. My first kid may have been in public school but she was awarded a full scholarship in pre-med to one of the priciest private schools in the state.

[Ramius]

Cool...

...and everybody told me that "Pink Floyd" was a terrible name for a kid.

[Wneighbor]

Oh, and I forgot to mention that while working on her 4.0 GPS to earn that she also had the lyrics of most pop culture songs in her memory. Some kids can do both!

[JenB]

No, you didn't do bad! I didn't mean to criticize you, either.

I just mean my parents tended to leave pretty much all the cultural stuff outside... we watched "Star Trek", and listened to Christian kids' tapes, and read a lot. I never really missed it... but now, things like "South Park" scare me. And I don't know who Waylon Jennings is.

However, if he were a writer of science fiction, I'd have known who he was. To each, his own.

[Wneighbor]

I've always thought songs were good inspirations for kid's names... LOL

Gives 'em a good identity to start off life with!

[Ramius]

but now, things like "South Park" scare me.

And rightfully so. :-)

[JenB]

I guess it's just what interests you. I can tell you the author and plot of almost any story I've read. Ever. I can explain how Feanor and Galadriel are related - I can even draw charts. I just don't really know the difference between - I don't even know any names to say, I don't know, about!

I don't feel like I missed anything but I don't think the other sort of knowledge is inferior, exactly. I just don't care who wrote the latest pop hit.

[schlohweiss]

Pick Floyd could have been tolorable for a kid, before the punk rocker Pink came out, if any one identified my kid with her....... well, that would just be gross

[Sam Cree]

Named my eldest after a hurricane, Hurricane David...caused some uproar among the inlaws, though.

[Ramius]

Yah, that's what I'll tell my son, Inagaddavida...

[Corin Stormhands]

You're doin' just fine Jen.

Just don't feel hurt when none of us wants you on our Trivial Pursuit team (unless it's the LOTR version!)

[Wneighbor]

Yah, that's what I'll tell my son, Inagaddavida...

Okay... whatever floats your boat darlin'! Sounds good to me.

[schlohweiss]

Now that is a name for the kid, no confusing that name, that is an awesome song!!!

[JenB]

Heh, but I'll do really well in anything that isn't pop culture, or sports!

One day at Entmoot, Rosie and her sibs and I were looking for a game to play... we ruled out Trivial Pursuit for exactly that reason!

[Corin Stormhands]

True story. Wife has a cousin who named her daughter "Summer Breeze."

I had a welfare client who named her daughter "Shana Nan."

I am not making this up.
