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! |

Well TV is terrible again tonight, unless you are a 'Titanic' fanatic. Discovery Channel has a good show on evolution before the dinosaurs (2 hours long, have seen it 2 times). I guess I'll watch it again!!

We did Titanic last night. We'd only seen it once before, when it came out, so we gave it 3 or 4 or how ever many hours. :~)
Maybe you'll stumble on a Columbo movie. Gotta like him. :~)
To: Lucius Cornelius Sulla
Heh...if I had Discovery Channel or the History Channel or anything along those lines, I'd be a total TV junkie...instead of an Internet junkie, I guess. Oops.
Documentaries totally suck me in - especially the historical speculation type ones like "here's how *this* group of scientists thinks the pyramids were built..."

Well they have started with the Cambrian Period, 500 million years ago (skipped the pre-Cambrian -- no fossils, you know). Show will end at the Permian - Triassic boundary, will include the great Permian extinction, worse than the famous K/T extinction. They are going to have a sequel too, the Triassic Era, first of the 3 ages of Dinosaurs. These early creatures are as alien as you can imagine!

I like how they can construct a whole skeleton out of a hip bone and a tooth :~)
To: HairOfTheDog
Well, these earliest creatures have an exterior skeleton, usually found in 1 piece -- does make it easier!

I love the History Channel... watching Engineering an Empire right now, about the aqueduct.
"All right, but apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?"

Plus providing us with a history full of errors they committed, which we seem determined to repeat, one after the other.
The trouble with this early creatures show is they keep citing behavioral traits for which there is zero evidence, based on hypothetical ecological niches similar to more modern creatures, of whose behaviors we have evidence. I get rather annoyed at this, but the animations are still great.

The most interesting about this Engineering an Empire show is that it's hosted by Peter Weller - the actor from Robocop and 24. Evidently he has a master's degree in Roman and Rennaissance art and is also a literature and fine arts professor at Syracuse University.

I think he has a PhD -- he is a major adviser on the HBO 'Rome' series, supposed to be starting year 2 in January!!

Peter Weller also stars in the greatest movie ever made.
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai. :-)

You've mentioned that movie before. The name is...intriguing.
Sounds like it has the potential to be horrendously bad. In a good way, mind you.

The movie is... interesting.
We'll have Ramius bring it with him the next time he visits.

That movie is one of his quirks... it's no weirder than yours. :~)

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai.Since you mentioned the movie, I'll take this opportunity to link to one of my favorite movie sound files...
Evil! Pure and simple!
