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!

Um, so now I'm wondering if she ever noticed you had a beard in the first place.

See I wouldn't mind too much being stuck on JetBlue, as long as I could watch my little TV with the DirectTV Satellite choices! We sat in the lineup at JFK for over two hours on my last flight home from FL after taking Clare to school, but being able to watch the tv made that time just fly by! 10 hours IS a bit much, but if the airline didn't have any control over that delay, it's not fair to pin them with all the blame.

It was pretty significant for the Christmas show. What you saw in the Santa picture was not a fake beard. It was just whitened up ~a little bit~ around the mustache part. The rest was mine

I just trimmed it way back to like what it was at your wedding.

I really need to dust and I haven't got a very efficient dusting system -

Canned Air. :-)

Excellent.

Evenin' folkses...

Well... the first week down. Now I get to lounge carelessly about the bay area for the weekend.

But... just late this afternoon da boss finally comes across with the spreadsheet of numbers for this years raise/bonus salary action stuff. Which I've got to send to my two managers and get their input, discuss with them and fight about it a little before I finalize with da boss. And they're both on vacation. And more good news... we'll finalize it on Tuesday morning.

Bring on the Bourbon! Some things, you just don't wanna do sober.

I embarrassed to say that I use canned air for dusting quite a bit. Electronics of course... but it's magic on the lionel train set. But it's great in the office and all around.

"Pffft". dusted. done.

As some in the hole may remember, I've got the Dogs Playing Poker in the upstairs bathroom at the beach. It just fits there.

Fry's has them 3 for $5, IIRC.

Which one do you have?

When I was young, I went to an optometrist who had several of the paintings decorating his office. I loved 'em!

HoleyCrap. There's more than one? Uh... well... I guess it looks like the one upthread. Though, as I study it, maybe that's not exactly the same one.

Now I'm all perfuddled.

According to the Wikipedia entry, he did a series of 16 "dog" pictures for a cigar company's advertising campaign. Nine of the 16 featured dogs playing poker... some of them may depict different events in the same game.

Google will get you all of them!

Well... I looked at a few... and maybe it's some kind of Jedi mind trick, but now I'm not sure which one it is.

A picture I've only seen maybe six thousand times, and now I'm not sure which version it is. Heh. That's funny.

But we don't have a Fry's down here.

Which is probably a good thing, considering the dent it'd likely put in my pocketbook.

Just spent almost an hour and a half on the phone with my brother, all without any signal droppage and with almost perfect clarity. Me likee the new phone. Have another week in the approval period, but I'm thinkin' it ain't going back.

Maybe we should arrange for a trip up here to Fry's for you and Hair and Ecurbh. It would be big fun. It's heaven. It's like "Nerd Depot". :-)

They have like six aisles devoted only to motherboards.

I love the place. :-)

Your Jedi mind-tricks do not work here.
