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!

Nomatter where you go... there you are.

[HairOfTheDog]

see summary at 15 ;~D

[RosieCotton]

Which...for some of us...is really scary.

[pillbox_girl]

Worth our time or worth yours? :~D

Either.

We are a group of FReepers who all started chatting back when the LoTR movies were coming out, and have remained very good friends. This is a 'daily thread' where we chat with each other.

Ok. It makes sense, now that I have the context. I'd never seen one of these threads before, and it looked a little nonsensical without knowing the back story.

[osagebowman]

And so it is.

Well, we shall see what the 'morrow brings.

G'nite

[JenB]

So, um, are you officially coming out as a moderator?

[Ramius]

Oh, its nonsensical enough even *when* you know the back story... believe me... [sip]

[RosieCotton]

We're a bit nonsensical even when you know the backstory. ;-) But that's not necessarily a bad thing. Everyone needs a little nonsense in their lives!

[Ramius]

Sssh... no outing of operatives. Unless Karl says its OK.

[RosieCotton]

You stole my line.

[JenB]

How do you know I'm *not* Karl? Hmmmm?

[Ramius]

Sorry... :-(

[Ramius]

Karl wasn't in Florida. :-P

[HairOfTheDog]

Sorry for any angst our abrupt move caused...

As you could see I had a massive breakdown in discipline on my hands :~D

[RosieCotton]

You *do* realize that by starting the new Hole this late at night, any newcomers who come in and scan the first couple dozen posts are likely to be so frightened they never return, don't you?

Though I hope there are exceptions. It's always nice to have company!

[Ramius]

any newcomers who come in and scan the first couple dozen posts are likely to be so frightened they never return, don't you?

As long as they don't spot the handcuff hooks in the ceiling, they probably won't be too scared right off the... oh, heck...

[HairOfTheDog]

Nope

And I don't even play one on TV :~D

[RosieCotton]

*SH!*

Don't mention the initiation ceremony yet either.

[JenB]

Darn it... well, he is no doubt a master of disguise...

[JenB]

Dude, we like scaring off the newbies. That ensures that all future joiners of the Hole are weird. Like the rest of us.
