The Hobbit Hole XXVIII - Through shadows to the edge of night
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 02/24/2006 9:52:11 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Through shadows to the edge of night

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!

Is that Mel doing Rasputin?

It's Mel when he was filming his latest. Somebody on the Mel thread made the comparison.

Mel is playing Rasputin? Hmmm... I'd have pictured somebody more like Christopher Lee. Lee would make a great Rasputin.

No, Mel just grew the beard when he was doing his latest film in South America.

Oh, fer cryin' out LOUD. I completely mistook those pictures. I thought the one on the left was Mel in makeup for Rasputin, and the one on the right WAS Saddam. Honestly.

Yeesh.

Bartender... 'nother bourbon over here, please...

Hey, I did a double take myself. I knew which one was Rasputin, but I had to look CLOSELY to see if that was Mel or Sadaam. Mel could certainly play Sadaam if he wanted to; he can make himself look like him!

I'm sure that's just what he wants to hear.... "you really look like Saddam these days, don't you?"

The only thing I wondered about was about how 'Saddam' looked a little younger in that pic.

But a little more gray in the beard, and some makeup to bag the eyes a little more... and he's got it nailed.

One of these things is not like the other
One of these things just doesn't belong....

Payrolls aren't hitting the mainframe so I'm stuck here until they fix it. Grrrr....

Bummer... :-(

Got about 20 mins till boarding. Decided on We Were Soldiers for loading the movie machine.

That's a good one! Should help pass the time quite nicely.

How long's the flight?

I just noticed your pic is named "threadstone".

Heh.

Do you suppose people might start using IM speak on headstones? I'd do:

Just a couple of hours. Barely time to finish a movie sometimes. But it does make a huge difference. Makes the time fly by.

Have you ever had the passenger next to you lean over and start watching over your shoulder?
