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!
For once, I have no idea who he was! I looked him up on IMDB. There was no picture and didn't recognize any of the parts he'd played.
He played Zephram Cochrane in the original Star Trek. I believe the episode was called Metamorphosis. He was also on a few episodes of Route 66.
Oh, OK, I recognize him now. I've seen him in several TV shows over the years. I never knew that they'd mentioned Zephram Cochrane in the original Star Trek series. I didn't watch it much when it was in it's initial run. I was in the 9th grade when it first aired, and I remember my English teacher complaining about how stupid the show was. LOL!
Yay, someone I recognize that other people don't!
G'nad - hope that all went well with the medics. Sorry to hear about the mishap. How's Gunner?
Just so long as you don't name any of your kids "Zephram"...
ROTFL!! Yeah, I never was much of a 'Trekkie'. I'm more a fan of the movies than I ever was the TV show.
Heh, you beat me to it! ;-)
You have mail.
No you don't. I lied.
Your better half has mail.
(and that's the truth)
I used to have an aquaintence who, if you called out the Star Trek series and episode number, could tell you the whole plot of that episode, and list minor characters who only appeared in that episode.
He was kinda scary, actually.
Didn't have much of a life, did he?
Check out the trailer!
Not really. They make jokes about folks who do nothing but watch Star Trek...in his case that really *was* all he did with his spare time, best I could tell.
I sat and had dinner with him once - something totally casual, not a date - because I felt kind of sorry for him, but he decided that *was* a date and got all upset when I "dumped" him.
Scary indeed...
That would be too, too cruel. Not with a last name that's as weird as ours.
