The Hobbit Hole XXII - ...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^
Posted on 06/01/2005 7:12:04 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog
Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe
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! |

We saw that recently. I found it amusing but more... "uh, what?!" amusing than "HAHAHAHA" amusing.
Good evening! How are you today?

nite...
Goin' soon myself. The only thing keeping me up is the thought of actually having to stand up and walk upstairs.

It grows on you.
Enjoyed a quiet day at home here. Just finished watching "Anchorman" and "I, Robot" on HBO/Cinemax. "Terminator 2" just starting...

Hi Ruthie... make sure you whacked that bug good, because sometimes a single whack just stuns 'em for a while.

Heh, I love T2. T1 has, IMO, a better story, but T2 is cool.
I, Robot wasn't bad as long as you make the assumption that it's not going to be anything like Asimov's story. Making Susan Calvin a babe is just wrong.

Oh, he was beaten to a pulp.
I don't stop whacking until I see his body come apart. :-D

It had elements of Asimov's stories.

Yeah. The Three Laws. And, um, robots.
No, I'm being unfair and it was a fun movie but they didn't have to claim it was based on anything Asimov actually wrote.

Also the idea that the 3 Laws would inevitably lead to a robotic tyranny. Of course, in Asimov's stories it was a lot softer than what was shown in the movie.

Say, that's a funny 80's movie you could rent... "Raising Arizona".I ~heartily~ second that recommendation! Somewhat strange (like most Coen brothers films), but it's got great characters and hilarious dialog. Nearly as quotable as Princess Bride.

Same character really...questionable character, bad hair, lots of resources, obsessed by the precious/treasure...Heh, we're watching Ronin on TV right now. Add incompetent, and he's still the same character.
To: JenB
Ah, I now see that you have seen it already. I guess it is kind of an acquired taste.
