The Hobbit Hole XXIII - Let them go! Let them go!

Posted on 07/12/2005 8:11:36 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Let them go! Let them go!

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!

Uh-oh. Having a wall fall on him in South America didn't help?

What's this one, the school stuff again?

I just thought you were talking to me like I hadn't read it.... I dunno. I am tired of remakes. There's no reason to remake Wonka... And I think Depp looks like an androgynous wierdo.... like Micheal Jackson.

Good night, Corin.

Algebra's fun. Have him do Geometry instead.

No, I thought I remembered you'd read it... I don't see it as a remake, I really disliked the first version so I thought it was a chance to get things closer to right.

And they were, even with Depp being weird everywhere.

Oh, dear. Remember to stop short of manslaughter.

What was missing in the original movie? I'm curious, and I've never met anyone that didn't love it.

I'd say something like this:

-----
We believe in your mission and we believe in you, our soldier. We are merely a little group of Americans doing what we think might help you. We hope this gift helps you do your work in some way.

We hope to be able to provide a knife for any soldier that needs one, free of charge. You can help us provide more knives for your fellow war fighters by encouraging anyone you know to donate to our cause, in whatever amount they like. We are not a charity. We are not even a nonprofit organization. We are just a group of friends that started buying knives for some soldiers, and it has grown beyond our expectations into a very popular and obviously useful program. Please feel free to contact us with any comment or question at: http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net.

Cynicism. And the oompa-loompas are just wrong.

Also, and I know it's heresy, I don't like Wilder's performance.

Business cards are really cheap, if that's the way you want to do it. Less than one knife for a thousand of them.

But the message needs to be better.... including the elements of "just regular people doing what we can", "Please forward to your friends and family who support the troops and might donate" and "Thank you for your service"... all in one pretty victory garden type poster.

ecurbh is going to finish with the site redesign this weekend we hope, and making our message and mission clearer is the whole intent there.

That's very very good!

We can put that into all email responses too.
