The Hobbit Hole XIII - Let them pass! Let them pass!
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 07/13/2004 9:49:23 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Let them pass! Let them pass!
(Note to dwarves, this is only meant figuratively)

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!

"Now I want to see that MST3K with the giant spiders from outer space."

"Invasion of the Giant Spiders" :) Starring the Skipper! Have that one on tape! Um, that was actually filmed near me, you know. . .

Woo-hoo! Packers!

Ever try training college grads who can't add without a calculator or couldn't write a grammatically correct sentence if you put a gun to their heads?

Yeah. I have. High school kids. Tried teaching them multiplication. Can't to HS chemistry without it. It was surreal.

One of the reasons I got out of the classroom.

Er, yeah. Not the same. Dubbing=evil.

Interestingly, a couple characters in FMA use "-dono" - the only place I've seen it besides Ruruoni Kenshin - though the fansubbers don't always translate it. It's kind of hit-or-miss. And I picked up a good combo to use on the brothers: "chibi-chan", which more or less means "little one" or "kid".

Every anime presents new opportunities for learning random Japanese words! Heh. I don't think I'll use "gun no inu" (dog of the military) anywhere though... shame...

Can't to HS chemistry without it.

LOL- good thing I didn't try to address the grammar issue. Should have been: Can't do HS chemistry without it.

Giant Spider Invasion.

Hey, "inu" is actually a word I know from that computer tutorial, LOL!

Chibi-chan sounds useful--may use that on my own brothers. . .

Will have to look up "dono".

Heya, I've been trying to do some research on a home-building project. We'll be building a new one for my mother in southern AZ in a couple of years. Do you have any experience/opinions on insulated concrete blocks/forms? We're trying to find the best balance of energy efficiency and cost.

BTW here's a question: how come kids who can't pass chemistry class still seem to be able to figure out how to blow stuff up by mixing stuff they're not supposed to? I've noticed that in my chem classes. . .

LOL, the only people who blew stuff up was us teachers. We tried to make pyrotechnics a weekly event. Once, we found a cansiter with a bit of O2 left in it. We mixed it with a bit of H2 in some balloons (with some iron filings for a nice sparkley effect). Made a heck of a boom. The windows rattled. The students were impressed. The poor headmaster didn't think it was so great- he thought something terrible had happened.

Since I'm reminiscing... There was this one kid. Very nice, he'll make a great salesman but boy he was dense.

We were doing an ionic substitution lab: mix two chemicals and something interesting happens. Sometimes you get a bubbly gas, sometimes it makes a pretty colored solid. (Your business partner can elaborate further.) Vey fun.

The instructions were to test each chemical against every other chemical, one pairing at a time. We did all this "microscale" using a few drops of chemical in a special plate that has little depressions in it. Instead of setting up a grid and testing one combination in each depression, this kid put *all* the chemicals in the same depression. It made a nasty mess. I coulda boxed his ears.

I could have boxed his mother's ears when she called me up to complain that the lab was too hard.

Nothing like a boring story to kill a thread.

Next time I'll try vacation photos.

Did you order any of the stuff from the site I showed you before?

Well now that would have been responsible of me wouldn't it? I'll check it out tonite.

(I'm not really here, I'm working in Jr's room. Actually I just mowed the yard and am tryin' to cool down to see if I want to eat. Then I'll work in Jr's room...);

Hope the concert goers have a good time, I gotta catch up on the rest of the thread...
