The Hobbit Hole VII - But not yet weary are our feet...

Posted on 03/15/2004 1:45:41 PM PST by HairOfTheDog

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!

Axel Foley is the character that Eddie Murphy played in the Beverly Hills Cop series.

If you haven't seen it, you must rent this movie right away!

" 'Look, man, I ain't fallin' for no banana in my tailpipe!' " ---Axel Foley

"Beverly Hills Cop", one of my "guilty pleasures" movies, along with "Ruthless People" and "True Lies".

I went Googling and found this site called Hollywood costumes and this lady makes (or will 'til the end of this year) very high quality LOTR costumes --you can get Eowyn's white gown for only $600! (Hey, it's half the price of those other gowns...)

Sigh again. I am going to have to get my mother to teach my sisters to sew. (It's hopeless for me. I have neither the patience nor the hand-eye coordination for anything more complicated than plastic canvas).

I would love dresses like those, though...

Wow!!! Great dresses!!! I keep thinking one of these days I'll make myself something like one of those. But, I have to get the sewing machine fixed and some other things *finished* before it will ever get past the *thinking* stage. And anyway, where would ya wear one?

Oh yeah, good ol' comedies from the 80's ---back before gross-out comedies of the 90's and 00's -- ick.

Another one of my faves from way back then was 48 HRS:

"Jack... Tell me a story."

"F*** you!"

"Oh, that's one of my favorites."

Where do you wear that dress?

Anywhere you want, I'm thinking. Certainly to Entmoots.

Well, there is that. Somewhere I have hidden away a funky old outfit that I wore to a couple of those. LOL But, they sure didn't look like that!

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

Whew! They think I'm Clark Kent--good thing I'm wearing these glasses! Now if I can just sneak back in before Aunt May notices I'm gone. . .

I've actually never seen Beverly Hills Cop, despite liking Eddie Murphy's SNL stuff. Is it good?

Renaissance Fair?

That was my first thought--definitely a RenFair dress.

Heh... Spiderman is the coolest superhero. Except maybe Wolverine. Or maybe Batman but he's not really a superheor, is he?

It may well be that Ayman Al Zarwahiri (sp?) aka 'the doctor'... the #2 guy always with UBL, with the glasses,... is right now on a table getting an autopsy.

There are those that think he's even a bigger catch than Bin Laden would be. UBL is a figurehead, but AZ was the brains of the outfit.

Wooohooo!!!

Well, I think technically Batman's a superhero without any superpowers. He's pretty cool; but Spider-Man is cooler than him. As for Wolverine, one time in Secret Wars after Spider-Man got done taking out all the X-Men single-handedly, Wolverine tried to sneak up behind him; and of course Spider-Man has Spider-Sense so that doesn't work, plus he can bench press 10,000 pounds as opposed to Wolverine's 250+; so without turning around Spidey backhanded Wolverine across the room and said, "In your dreams." :) Spider-Man is the coolest :-) Exhibit A:

Can't touch this :)
