The Hobbit Hole XXVI - Home is behind, the world ahead
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 12/11/2005 8:37:40 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Home is behind, the world ahead

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!

I've wondered the same thing.

Who has all of the props?

There was lots of good stuff. I'm sure much of it ended up going home with the production crew.

Yeah! And why isn't it me? I wouldn't mind some of those tankards, and a couple of good, homey chairs and tables, and some of the books and maps and...

Ooh, yeah. The Rohirrim had some great stuff, didn't they? The best clothing, I'd say. And the kewlest theme music....

OK... this is right funny.

Dad and Dona are both playing video slot machines on their computers. They've been at it for days now. They won't stop. Beeping, Bell-ringing, Clang-clanging coin drop sounds... they're totally hooked. They'll be up late.

They'll be at it early and by the time I get up they'll already have been playing for an hour.

It's crazy... :-)

Gambling addicts. hehehehe....

Better get them a real slot machine soon. That way, they can just keep winning and losing the same money over and over. :-D

Well then. There you have it. :-D

I think that in certain states you can only buy slot machines that take tokens. Florida is one such state. The Miccosukees do not want folks playing at home! :-)

Yes... it's entirely my fault. It was this little ten dollar CD of various casino games... a stocking stuffer more than a full-on 'present'.

It's like when you buy the kids a big toy and they spend the whole weekend playing with the box instead. :-)

Do they drink every time the word "cannibal" is used or just every time they break into song? ;-)
