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 like that song, actually.

It would work. Especially for the microbrews. It's a keginabox.

Heh heh! Hey, you'd have to get one of them special spigots that causes less foam.

I read about that somewhere.

Ummm... I'm afraid to answer that. I had a sheltered youth, you know.

Box-o-Beer? What a great idea!

About the carbonation though....

Yah. Not sure about the pressure. Probly need to contain the bag in some sort of plastic mesh.

Dropping the box might be bad. Need to research this.

Speaking of which, I'm off to pour my first bourbon and Dr. Pepper of the evening.

Ye gods and little fishes, man! If that's what you drink, no wonder you get wasted!

Have you ever considered Seven-Up?

I told him I wouldn't coach him on the answer. He'll have to become one sometime :~D

Funny thing is, he googled it... and the result that comes up is ~incorrect~ IMHO. :~D

Didja'll catch this about maybe we got Zawahiri? Not sure yet, as always.

But I guess they used ten (10) hellfires on the location. Holey Frijoles... whoever was there, they wanted them pretty bad, and the pieces will all be very small. :-)

Hellfire... when you care enough to send the very best.

With or without the bourbon?

Dropping the box isn't the thing. Dropping ~any~ box of beer is a very, very bad thing.

OK forestry put out a call for anyone who drives heavy machinery to come to a special training session on how they can help fight these fires we're having. They were expecting about 30 men. Three hundred showed up.

I love Oklahoma.

Hmmm... yah. Found a few different versions and none of them are "right". Oh well... regional variations I suppose.

With the bourbon. Bourbon and Seven.

Or just bourbon splashed over ice cubes. Liquid fire, soothing all the way down.
