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, Well 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! |

Good luck on the interview! And don't sit next to guys without underwear!

I had an interview with a guy who I didn't realize was barefoot, till a piece of paper fell on the floor and he picked it up with his toes and put it back on the desk. I didn't comment on it and neither did he. I think it was unrelated that I got the job.
He was a weird guy.... wetland scientist, always walked around barefoot in the office because he was constantly spraying some foul-smelling medicine on his Plantar's warts.

Hey... now... are *you* the one that got that thread pulled? I had a *brilliant* reply all typed up and now it is gone. :-(

No, I didn't have it pulled, I never hit abuse. But I was embarrassed by it and I am glad it's gone. The story, as a news event, is big news, and I hope it gets reposted with a healthier tone. But I'm a hopeless delusional optimist :~D

Not me either but I'm glad it's gone. BTW, I finally finished Fellowship of the Rings. I've been bogged down in meaningless trifles of life that I've not had time to do some hardcore reading.

Well, the thing about books is they'll wait till you're done with meaningless trifles ;~D

Well... there you go again...
I'm not sure it was as big a problem as you said... but maybe it was. But the larger point is whether we can convince some Rangers to party in the Square for the next N number of weeks and/or months.
Now THAT would be worth the price of admission.

My post that didn't make it was about the Rangers in Tacoma that reclaimed a few blocks of the hilltop under force of arms and sheer cajones. Seems like maybe a similar thing could happen again.

It might be, but I'd rather when our troops come home they go someplace more pleasant than to suffer barfights with thugs.
Those guys that did it are thugs and I want them caught. There was just too much of the wrong sort of blood-lust on that thread, and it was so pervasive and so hard to nail down to a particular post or poster I found myself a bit overwhelmed.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, then I saw it before it got pulled.

Yep, saw the thread, apparently before whatever got posted that caused it to be pulled.
