I think I have the Comments set on "full". I guess that could be it. . . :)

Thanks on the song parodies :) Writing those actually gave me an earworm, as I've been going around singing to myself, "There's a bright golden ring on my finger. . ." But I changed one of the lyrics from the original, from "ents" to "pipeweed", so it now goes:

The pipeweed's as high

as an oliphaunt's eye. . .

That's one of the late-period Heinleins. The ones I don't read. So I can't say one way or another.

How come you don't read his later ones?

Gonna go eat supper here--back later.

Cool. I kinda need some way to chill when I've used up my antacid allotment for the day thanks to Campaign 2004.

Oh, when I said pics, I meant photos. I see some of you guys like the elf, but I was wondering about Hobbit photos or Hobbit potrayers' photos like this one:

I don't read Heinlein's later works because my dad (whose opinion in all matters SF I regard highly) has told me they are a great disappointment, different in style, story, and content from my beloved juveniles.

I may be missing something but I think I'll heed him on this one...

I'm having trouble linking to Schlowiess' freeper profile.

She hasn't made a profile. But, it's spelled with another "h" in it and the "i" and "e" switched. Schlohweiss

Well, some of us like Hobbits, but I prefer Men. Especially Aragorn, and Faramir.

"The King is Gone" by Ronnie MacDowell -- it's an Elvis tribute song. Mr. S2R has a side gig as an Elvis impersonator.

I was offered a job last week, and I start next Monday!

Wow!!! Answered prayer! Praise God! :-)

I hope this is a job you will like Seamus. I know it comes at a welcome time. Congratulations.

Faramir and Aragorn are nice, TTTT I prefer the elf. :-)


I do have a picture of Viggo though, but it's fairly squicky.

Viggo is so-so. As smellyRangerGuy, he's pretty attractive, but he doesn't clean up that well.

Faramir though.... mmmm...

I don't like the elf as much. I mean, I love Elves, admire them, but even the Elf girls went for Men when they got the choice.

I've only read Heinlein sporadically -- can't seem to get into the LL series. I didn't like SIASL but I loved one of his later works, "Job: a Comedy of Justice" though I wouldn't recommend it to many Christians.

Welcome to the hobbit hole "stands"! - or is it "reason" for short?!

It is never too late to arrive here, but it may be too late to leave!

We just got this done today, a photo album that'll help you get to know folks.

Yeah, you got a point. Immortality isn't really sexy.

Those rodeo pics are a hoot!

So did you go to the livestock show? Did they have other livestock showing than just steers? Any chickens?
