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!

When I skipped the screenname, I didn't get the other questions...

.........

Shotgun
You preferred a weapon with 67% power over speed and 52% range over melee.
You use a Shotgun. While not the fastest gun in the west, a shotgun's raw power and ease of use make it an extremely potent weapon. Some shotguns can also be loaded with many different types of ammunition, providing a versatility many guns don't have. Choosing your shots, you fell your opponents immediately and without pause.

You scored higher than 99% on range

Yeah, the screenname is for joining their service, which isn't necessary to get the results... I didn't think to mention it, because usually they include some disclaimer saying you don't have to provide a screenname. This time they didn't, for whatever reason, and I didn't notice.

I got *exactly* the same result as you...not gonna bother posting it again.

Kinda seems wrong, since I kept sayin' I'd prefer stealth and low tech to much else.

Desert Eagle
You preferred a weapon with 34% power over speed and 60% range over melee.
You use a Desert Eagle.

One of the most powerful handguns in production, the Desert Eagle is a heavy punch in a small package. Its reliability and speed are remarkable for a gun with such high caliber. Your enemies won't stand a chance as you fell them bullet by bullet.

Hmm... I figured the questions about power and ranged attack are what got me that result...

I guess that means I prefer hacking my enemies to death. Up close and personal-like. ;-)

... And, really, is anyone surprised???

Greatsword
You preferred a weapon with 58% power over speed and 41% range over melee.
You use a Greatsword.

Do the words Zweihander or Flamberge mean anything to you? You prefer a Greatsword, a massive, heavy blade frequently strong enough to cut down the rides of mounted warriors. Though slow, the impressive length and heft of a greatsword makes it capable even of breaking through armor. Your enemies will run from the deadly arcs of your blade as you bear down on them.

Machinegun
You preferred a weapon with 41% power over speed and 90% range over melee.
You use a Machinegun. Phenomenal range and rate of fire more than make up for the lack of mobility that a full machinegun warrant. Though a machinegun lacks the punch of heavier artillery, it is still an exceedingly potent infantry weapon and can fire continuously for a long time. Your enemies will run for cover as you pepper the landscape with bullets.

Good Morning OT - hmmm wonderful choice for 'garden pest minimization'. We're taking off for the dogpark. Gypsygirl seems to know that I'm off today and that means 'roadtrip' to the dogpark.

I'm sure Winmag or G'nad can fix you up with a good sling to assist in the mobility factor.

Start thinking about doing something you LIKE doing! Although SirKit certainly doesn't consider himself 'retired', he is certainly MUCH more relaxed about life these days. He'll find work; he's got the job experience and education for consulting, so that's always an option. He'd REALLY like to do some home remodeling and construction. It's something he's always been interested in doing, and he has the knowledge for that, too. Also, his Daddy was a General Contractor, and mine was a Carptenter so it's 'in our blood' so to speak. Anyway, we're looking forward to giving it a try!
