The Hobbit Hole XXXI - Mawwage is what bwings us togethew today!

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Mawwage is what bwings us togethew today!

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!

LOL - those were great, though I don't think it's the same dennismoore that OT is referring to.

The list so far:

Do the strippers have to be animatronic?

I thought we were giving up last year's list - which would include Guido and the pawn shop and ninjas.

And I'm afraid I have no place at all for animatronic strippers...

I haven't room for animatronic strippers either but that's what makes them a challenge. You just have to mention them or the equivalent in your universe. "Weird cousin Fred who had that thing about animatronic strippers". Or alter it to be "licentious robots" or whatever.

But we do need a new, fresh list.

I need four personal assistants

I imagine it would be a hard job, but I also suspect it would be kinda fun!

I'm serious...I always thought being a personal assistant would be fun. Or a personal shopper. I was kinda the HH's personal shopper there for a while and it was a whole lotta fun!

That said, I wish I had a personal assistant to go out and read my gas meter...I gotta go under the trees and likely I'll run into a big brown garden orb spider...ugh.

Not sure I do either. Course they might hang out with Vidalia and Viburnum the local horticulturalists...if'n ya know whut I mean.

My favorite new character name: Aimatta Loss.

That said, you know when you get spam mail and it's written in French that it's gonna be one of those days.

Just beware of working for Mr. Pitt!
[Cut back to Elaine at Mr. Pitt's. There are pairs of socks everywhere. Pitt has on the latest pair.]

PITT: It's good, but...

ELAINE: But what??

PITT: Ultimately I don't think they'll stay up.

ELAINE (pulling up Pitt's socks): No, no! They'll stay up!

PITT: For a while, yes, but not in the long run.

ELAINE: But that's why I got you the tighter ones! (Holds them up.)

PITT: Oh, forget about those! (Takes the socks from Elaine and throws them on the floor.) Why do you keep mentioning those?

ELAINE: What do you want!?

PITT: I want a decent sock that's comfortable, that will stay on my foot!!

(Elaine curls up into a fetal position.)

Doesn't the gas company have people that will do just that for you?

Good morning everyone

Today will be a hard day for Ramius, and for Ruthy. She's flying out tonight. Please keep them in your prayers.

Sigh--the boiler guy just replaced the thermocouple on the boiler, then will try to figure out the air lock problem with the radiators. The water heater guys are on their way to replace the water heater--oh, the joys of home ownership.
