The Hobbit Hole XIV - Hill and Water Under Sky
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 08/05/2004 5:47:31 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Hill and water under sky

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!

If they liked War of the Worlds, they will like Earth vs. the Flying Saucers--one of the best 50s SF movies, IMO, along with Forbidden Planet which I'd also recommend for young Jedis :)

Same with an Indian accent, I can follow a woman better than a man. It's weird.

Our network engineer (the Cisco dude) is Indian... and has a *really* thick accent, if you can even call it that. For some reason I'm the only person in the department that can understand a word he says. I'm always having to translate... it's really odd to translate broken english into english.

Ramius, the D-9 s were what I saw in Oregon as the industry standard, a few (cough) years ago (summer of '68). Three logs maybe four to rail car load, half a dozen or so to a truck load.

I requested them!! There's no long wait on them, so I should get them pretty quick!

Thank you so much for the suggestions...I'm always looking for movie suggestions for the jedis. Chicken Run was the best suggestion ever!

They like suspenseful but not terrifying movies...ummm, Pet Cemetary was a bit too much for Joshua. He slept in with me for two nights.

Wow, sounds like they really liked it! Here's some other good 50s alien sf ones that are pretty G-rated:

When Worlds Collide
The Day the Earth Stood Still
The Thing
It Came from Outer Space
This Island Earth
Invasion of the Body Snatchers
I Married a Monster from Outer Space

Good night Hobbit Hole!!

I've gotta get some sleep tonight - meeting at 9am about the hurricane and what the company's policy says about who comes in and when.

I've only got one payroll tomorrow, so I hope to set some breakfast out in the morning.

(((HOBBIT HOLE)))

Ray Harryhausen (who did the special effects in Earth vs. the Flying Saucers) also did the Sinbad movies, which I loved when I was that age:

The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad

The Golden Voyage of Sinbad

Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger

Also try:

Jason and the Argonauts

Clash of the Titans

Hi Jen! Sorry for the blip in response...I have had to re-load Cool Page and rearrange things on my harddrive in order to re-do my church's website. Am also having to replace some graphics, so have been hunting through the net for some nice Celtic divider lines.

I understand the smoking ambivalence. It may be that the change in climate has made you more sensitive. I know it does so to my mother simply when they come to visit me from the Hill Country. All the vegetation here on the coast sends her sinuses reeling.

I for one don't ever mind if its cigar or pipe smoke (Ive been known to smoke a Partagas or two once in a while.) Some of the loveliest smells to me...but cigarettes! I have an asthmatic reaction to them...can't draw in oxygen while the smoke floats around me. Too busy trying to breathe to notice any smell...

Tomorrow is first day of school for Miss Giggle Face. WHAT A RELIEF!! (arent I a bad mommy?!) (she goes to private school)

Heh... last summer we went to Virginia to visit my grandparents, and my great-uncle and his friend from England were there. So we all went out to Laurel Caverns... anyway, the tour guide was from West Virginia. I was the only one able to understand her. So I kept translating for everyone, especially the English guys who really didn't have a clue.

Oh yeah...Sinbad movies!! Thank you again, Fedora!

Good night all...I'm logging off too...gotta finish spiffing up the living room for Matthew's guest tomorrow. Then I have to get up early to make a book sale.
