Eleventh Thread: Wedding Edition: The Hobbit Hole XI - No One Admitted Except on Wedding Business!
New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, |
Still round the corner there may wait |
Home is behind, the world ahead, |
... so the resident child genius channels a dead alien's knowledge and reconfigures the ship's engines to generate a wormhole instead of a subspace field....
I thought your character was meeting Mr. Right. That's a sappy ending!
No, I haven't...name doesn't ring a bell.
But Ewan McGregor is someone I don't mind lookin' at...I'll have to check it out!
...only he forgot to put in the stoppy thingie.
Yeah, I know. I'm saying I'll enjoy that!
...so they go out of control and end up almost back at the beginning of time...
... and had to decide which things things couldn't be changed for fear of messing up the timelines of history and preventing themselves from being born ...
It has a lot of sexual innuendo (but no skin) and is very funny. Not a kids film.
Drat... I've thought of a title I really like but I can't get it to fit.... I really want to call the story "Secondhand Sonnets"...
I'm stumped for a title. I mean...what do you title six months or so of someone's life? Can't think of anything catchy.
How come that title doesn't fit? Is there anything simple you could add to make it work?

Mine is essentially the same address as Col J's:

As feedback, this knife is anticipated as a welcome gift to mark the end of a soldier's tour here in this small, highly specialized unit. Until I looked at your web site, I didn't know about the amount of thought that you and staff had put into the selection, and the "tuning" of this handy tool.
With your next shipment, our new commander will continue the tradition started with Col J.
Thank you very much for your support of us troops. Takes the edge of the challenging environment here, and dangerous circumstances we find ourselves in.
Regards, ~~ String
DOWN WITH LOVE is an old-fashioned romantic comedy with a twist, starring "Chicago's" Oscar-nominated Renee Zellweger and "Moulin Rouge's" Ewan McGregor. Putting a hip spin on the golden age of the classic Rock Hudson-Doris Day comedies, the film is the story of a spark-filled collision between a woman who has sworn off love and a ladies' man who thinks he doesn't need love.
Set in the early 1960s, by way of the early 2000s, every frame pops with the super-saturated palette of sixties Technicolor. Process shots, stock shots, backlot New York City street scenes, snazzy apartments, and elegant supper clubs are the backdrop for DOWN WITH LOVE's characters, including Zellweger's best-selling advice author and McGregor's hotshot journalist/playboy.
Barbara Novak (Renee Zellweger) hits New York City with her new book DOWN WITH LOVE, a pre-feminist manifesto on saying "no" to love and "yes" to career, empowerment - and sex. As Barbara's revolutionary tome rockets to the top of best-seller charts, she becomes the target of ace journalist Catcher "Catch" Block (Ewan McGregor), ladies' man / man's man/ man about town, who is determined to take her down.
Catch's best friend and boss, the neurotic and lovesick Peter McMannus (David Hyde Pierce), tries to rein in his star writer, while haplessly pursuing the object of his affections, Vikki Hiller (Sarah Paulson), Barbara's brilliant and feisty editor. Vikki plays tough in a man's world, which includes her old-style chauvinist boss, Theodore Banner (Tony Randall).
'nite all. Off to do evening chores.
...and then little Johnny Whatsisface, Ensign Second Class wakes up from a crazy dream, and finds he's an hour late for duty...
Heh...we're your staff? Cool...
"I did have to correct him about the use of the term, "and staff"."
LOL! You mean you don't have a staff? And here I thought Santa loaned you his Elves to help make those (no relation to Hobbit-Hole Elves, of course :)
Evening All: Fort Osage had a shoot today & I joined in the fun. Beautiful day for it and the .32 flinter did its job. Just enough umph so you could hear it ring the steel silouette (sp?) targets. LSA dug up another bed, split some daylilies and got some ready for gifting.
OT-got some with your name on them. You interested in some iris? There will be extra cannas too. :-)
Ruthie-that is totally unacceptable behavoir on the part of the dealer. sigh. "Wendys?!? in glove box? Sheesh.
Corin-good luck with the situation, got nothing to offer but a prayer. Choices made at young age certainly can affect one for years to come.
Winmag: the knives arrived - many thanks. The recipient - an old friend of many years. He's a WWII Pacific theater and Korean War vet. Medical Corpsman.
His nephew is the recipient of a HH knife. 20 year Army man Sgt - Armor heading back again (yup,there) shortly. He has been showing everyone in town (lives in a small central KS town) his knife. It was a real moral booster that some people - strangers- thought enough of his service to gift him a knife like that.
Now to do some catching up.
Hmmm... when is your story set? Is it in Vermont, in fall? You could make a pun on tree-leaves and leaves of paper... that's just off the top of my head.
My title doesn't fit because nobody's composing sonnets and I don't think anyone wants to do so, either.
Can you get some second hand? ;-)
Yeah, probably Vermont or New Hampshire in the fall through early winter. So something along those lines could work.
My favorite was an episode of Stargate SG-1; a malfunction of the stargate forces Col. O'Neill and Teal'c to relive the same day over and over. The first several iterations they try to change events to break the loop, but nothing works. After a few hundred loops they get bored and silly with it...
