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, |
Oh, well, good move.
Now git while the gittin's good.
Well, it's time to git now anyway.
Got a "full tech" rehearsal tonite. It could go really well and I could be home by 10:00 tonite.
OR it could really fall apart and I could be home by 10:00 tomorrow morning...
Later.
Ouch. I hope it goes good and you're home before PM turns into AM...
The ABCs of J.R.R. Tolkien
by Sean Dailey
A is for apple
Beloved of Hobbits
For eating or throwing
Or feeding to rabbits
B is for Barliman
Good innkeeper he
Who serves frothy pints
To the fair folk of Bree
C is for Círdan
The Grey Havens his home
Whence many ships sailed
To the far Western foam
D is for Déagol
Who met his demise
At the hands of his cousin
Who wanted his prize
E is for Eldar
Who love most the stars
Long ago they set sail
To the Western shore far
F is for Fourteen-twenty
Most golden of years
With cream and ripe fruit
And barley for beers
G is for Gandalf
A Maia of old
Enkindling hearts
In a world grown cold
H is for Húrin
Steadfast Edain
Defied Morgoth did he
Enduring great pains
I is for Idril
Beloved of Tuor
Alone of all mortals
To the west he sailed o’er
J is for Jewels
The Silmarils bright
Cursed by an oath
That dimmed not their light
K is for Kili
A companion of Thorin
On adventure they went
Winning gold from the dragon
L is for Lúthien
Beren's beloved
A Silmaril won they
When all others failed
M is for Merry
Brave Hobbit and true
On Pelennor Fields
The Witch King he slew
N is for Noldor
That proud race of Elves
Who spilled their kin's blood
Cursing themselves
O is for Oath
Of Eorl the Young
Fealty kept he
With old Cìrion
P is for Pippin
Soldier of Gondor
Saved Faramir he
From Denethor's pyre
Q is for Quenya
The tongue of the Elves
Spoken ere sun
Or moon did arise
R is for Ring
Of pow'r and dread
Frodo's great burden
On his will it fed
S is for Sam
Friend stalwart and true
A source of sound wisdom
And good rabbit stew
T is for Théoden
Who from the west riding
Saved the White City
From ruin and burning
U is for Ulmo
Lord of all waters
The oceans, the streams
And gentle rain showers
V is for Valar
The Lords of the West
They serve under Eru
And evil they’ll best
W for weed
That fine, blessed toke
There's nothing so fine
As good beer and smoke
X is for X-pert
In Middle-earth lore
I’ve dozens of volumes
In bookcases stored
Y is for Yule
The best time of year
It brings warmth to winter
With fire and good cheer
Z is for Zirak
The Moria mountain
Where Gandalf cast down
The foul bane of Durin
Here endeth the J.R.R.T. ABCs
If you want to learn more
Then read the books please
Woo Hoo! Can't wait to see the WHOLE thing!
Cute! I'd never seen that. I'm going to save it.
Just planning ahead! ROTFL!!
Another easy way to do natural peanut butter is to store it up side down. That way the oil is in the bottom and its easier to stir. That's for them what don't like their peanut butter cold. Just make sure the lid is on VEY tight before you do this! Voice of experience talking here.
I don't like having to stir it each time!
If I had something that made stirring it easy, I might. Otherwise...it's easier just to stick it in the fridge.
Is that in book form somewhere? I can just see that with the illuminated illustrations like medieval text.
Because of you I've got black beans cookin'...put a whole dried pepper in with them and some garlic and other seasonings. Should be good!
Mmmm!
I'm such a good influence on you! hehehe!
;-)
Might throw some ground beef in with 'em when they're done. I have some that needs to get used.
Evening. I actually had a good Monday after Thanksgiving. Got two whole instruments to myself and founda better ion to quantitate on. Woo Hoo!

Dinner's almost done. 'bout time.
And I'm running a low grade temp. Great. Hope I don't hafta call in sick tomorrow. I think I hope, anyway.
Yep. On the new ion I see a real peak instead of a blob.
