The Hobbit Hole XXIX - Until the stars are all alight...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 04/20/2006 2:10:46 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Until the stars are all alight

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!

Mmm, that's gonna make some nice steaks.

That spamming was inelegant, repetitive, and had no style. The only good thing I can say about it was it was shameless.

Bah! It only half qualifies as spam since it was relevant to the conversational topic. It was only spammish since I spread it over several posts and that was necessary to keep the statement accurate and on topic.

It was spam... a sequence of posts like that with the clearly intent of snagging the precious are spam.

Doesn't that make most of the thread spam on some level?
Mine was only partly spam since the precious was not the only objective. There was a conversational objective to the posts also. It just happened to be related to making a point about Precious snagging.

Suuuure. Whatever excuse you want to make is fine.

Heh, at least that distracted me from test anxiety! Now it's about time to mosey over and get set up...

So... Luke gives Nana a life expectancy of 10 more years or less? Maybe he knows something we don't?

I ~suspect~ that's based on what Nana has said to him.

Grr.. My printer won't print magenta. I tested it by printing a red delicious apple, and it printed a granny smith!

Seriousky, though, I've taken this thing to Best Buy (where I *had* warranty for such things) and my printer heads had failed. They completely replaced the heads. I am hoping this time it is merely that the heads need cleaning.... again. I have cleaned them about 4 times this morning already.

We got yer black, we got yer yellow, we got yer cyan, no magenta.

I just rented a room here for the weekend...

Mrs. said "School prom is tonight, do you want to go with me?"

"No, I do not."

Well, technically she mentioned it last night and I avoided the question.
