Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

But not yet weary are our feet...

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, Beneath the roof there is a bed; But not yet weary are our feet, Still round the corner we may meet A sudden tree or standing stone That none have seen but we alone. Tree and flower and leaf and grass, Let them pass! Let them pass! Hill and water under sky, Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait A new road or a secret gate, And though we pass them by today, Tomorrow we may come this way And take the hidden paths that run Towards the Moon or to the Sun. Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe, Let them go! Let them go! Sand and stone and pool and dell, Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead, And there are many paths to tread Through shadows to the edge of night, Until the stars are all alight. Then world behind and home ahead, We’ll wander back to home and bed. Mist and twilight, cloud and shade, Away shall fade! Away shall fade! Fire and lamp, and meat and bread, And then to bed! And then to bed!

Isn't it though? You'd have to be pretty tiny to pull that one off though... not saying you're not tiny, just saying I'M not.

This style looks like it could hide a few more flaws...

Just out of curiosity, and with no intention of ever doing such a thing: what does the potato do?

Not that I would ever advocate doing such a thing, but for informational purposes only, according to some sources:

Question:My engine starts but dies after a couple of minutes and won't restart. What's wrong?

Answer:It sounds like the classic symptom of an exhaust blockage, probably due to a clogged catalytic converter. The converter can overheat and be damaged if excessive amounts of unburned fuel enter the exhaust system. This can happen if the engine has one or more fouled spark plugs or leaky exhaust valves. When this unburned fuel hits the converter, it sends temperatures soaring. The ceramic substrate or pellets that support the catalyst can melt and partially or completely block the flow of exhaust through the converter.

If a complete blockage occurs, the engine will start normally but the exhaust has no place to go. Backpressure quickly builds up and within a couple of minutes the engine quits running. Eventually, the pressure will seep out and allow the engine to restart after it has sit for some time. But the blockage will prevent it from running for long.

The cure here would be to replace the converter. But first, the underlying problem that caused the converter to overheat and fail needs to be diagnosed and corrected -- otherwise the new converter will suffer the same fate.

Other possible causes of this kind of condition include a crushed exhaust pipe, some prankster shoving a potato up your tailpipe, a collapsed inner wall in a double-walled head pipe, or a muffler that's obstructed with rust debris.

Drop waists can hide a lot of flaws. I think the first one is prettier!

'Sides, this one doesn't hide upper arms...

[JenB]

I am *not* tiny, but the first one was prettier...

[JenB]

Hmmm... well.... interesting. Not That I Would Ever Do Such A Thing, of course.

'Sides, this one doesn't hide upper arms...

You got a point there, Miss Rose. I was thinking that at least a corset could be hidden under the second one. I totally forgot about my flabby arms... *sigh*

Not a banana? :-)

Never heard of that version, but sounds like a good alternative for the non-vegetarian :)

I'd like Eowyn's wardrobe. Most of her clothing is actually pretty flattering - and just lovely.

[HairOfTheDog]

We looked at a couple medievil gowns! - Almost went that way!

[Fedora]

Hmmm... well.... interesting. Not That I Would Ever Do Such A Thing, of course.

Of course not. Nor would I ever do this:

Leave a note (written while wearing rubber gloves) on Car #1 which reads:

Dear Sir,

I'm sorry for the damage I've done to your car. I will gladly help pay for repairs.

Signed,

[Insert name and number of owner of Car #2]

[Fedora]

Those are both really pretty dresses, but they've got to cost the price of a used car! :)

[stands2reason]

You'd prolly like this one then...it's based on Leighton's The Accolade.

[Lil'freeper]

Gorgeous dress!

You must be younger that I thought.

Nice spam! I reminded myself earlier today to keep an eye out for that one but I forgot :)

I never bought an Axel Foley album--is that where it's from? Must add to my collection of obscure quotes. . .

Lovely Spam. ..

It sure hasn't taken you long to figure out the spam thing. No wonder they think you're Corin.

Don't worry, Clark Kent, I will never let your true secret identity slip. :-p
