The Hobbit Hole XXXII - Sweet is the sound of falling rain
The Freeper Hobbit Hole Blog ^ | December 1, 2006

Posted on 12/01/2006 12:55:15 PM PST by ecurbh

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!

O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.

O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!

heh, yup we did though we did have 'aw - chit' moment. Seems the fella behind us thought it odd we were slowing down for a red light and darn near rear-ended us before he swung around us and blew through said red light.

Gypsygirl got her dinner and walk and we just logged on.

Thanks again for a great New Years Day dinner.

I think he was roundly trounced.

As he should have been. Kim is just a stupid character. You just want to slap her every time she turns around because she's always doing something stupid. Chloe is vital to the series cause she just knows how to do cool stuff.

Jack and Chloe get the job done in spite of the stupid people. They just have different ways of doing it.

MST3K (Space Mutiny)

I saw a movie on TCM today that should be an MST3K.

Red Planet Mars, with Peter Graves, from 1952. Eeeevil ex-Nazi scientist sends fake Martian Jesus messages to American scientists eventually causing mass Christian revival and downfall of the USSR. Nice martyrdom at the end. Oy.

I'm realizing that it's probably too late to lose any weight worth speaking of before the brother's wedding and seeing the home folks again.

Oh well.

Heh. They did quite a few Peter Graves movies on MST3K.

I'm on Time Chasers now. The hero drives a geeky 10-speed.

What cell service do you have, by the way? Although no signal is great here, you seemed to be getting better reception than any of us.

And I've seen motorcycle commercials on TV already. I'm sure the seed catalogs will be in the mailbox on Wednesday, when mail delivery resumes.
