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!

Are you deliberately trying to get me to urp?

First peanut butter. Now milk.

Fine with other things, but most definitely NOT tequila.

Say... yes... the popper is a good idea.

Me... can't touch tequila anymore. Ever since that night in 82. Don't remember what happened, but ever since then my throat will not allow tequila to pass.

Yup... just like Gandalf on the bridge at kazad-dhum...

I'd think it would be ~funnier~ if you had a shot of tequila in your mouth.

Imagine the faces you'd make trying to get it down. ;-)

Yeow... well... the good news is that it is likely still sterile. Dunno about the flavor though... Rum isn't usually aged... :-)

If it doesn't taste good you can always dump in the gas tank. Cut about ten to one with gas and its probly close to methanol.

Dunno what it'll do to the fuel injectors though.
