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

[HairOfTheDog]

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

But not yet weary are our feet...

• 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...

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!

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. . .

LOL! Those rodeo pics are too funny! :)

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.

It's our family photo album!

Hey, we's some good lookin folks, ain't we?

Great job, guys!

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:

[JenB]

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

[JenB]

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.

[Wneighbor]

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.

[stands2reason]

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


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

[JenB]

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.

[stands2reason]

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.

Oh! 2J! I love your rodeo photos! What did the Jedis think of the whole thing?

[stands2reason]

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

[HairOfTheDog]

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?

[HairOfTheDog]

g'nad, awhile back you had pics of osage at that bow-moot you guys went to. Still have those that we can post for the album?

And LF, winmag, I don't think we have ever seen pics of you! - wanna give us one to post?

Argh.... just send a pic with clothes on.

[HairOfTheDog]

Oh - and need one of you too!

Stands, reason, S2R, Pippin, whatever... :-)
