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!
Art teachers can be like that...

I believe that's why he's not likely to be an art teacher much longer...

When I die I'll go to musical heaven, 'cause I've spent my time...
On the way out Mrs. actually said "that wasn't so bad."
I reminder her that she's got a sinus infection and cain't hear out of her left ear.
Well, that should have occurred to him when he was painting his bum. ;~)
I'm going to bed now... it's early, but this storm of ours is set to hit very early in the morning, so I might as well get some sleep.
I'd appreciate prayers for not so-bad winds.
I dunno... It ~was~ kinda original. :-P
I gotta admit, that print of the flowers just looks like a print of some flowers. I'm just diseased enough to enjoy the humor of everybody seeing a big print of flowers on the wall, when I'm the only one that knows it's just a few butt-prints.
I don' care who y'are... that's funny raht there... :-)
Weather prayers on the way!
Here's an oddity...when I little and before I got ridiculed for saying it, I always called a water fountain (one of the possibles on the test) a "bubbler". Apparently no one says that outside of small sections of New England and Wisconsin/Michigan (where my parents are from). Wonder how having that option on the quiz woulda skewed my results.

Urgh. Me, too.
He looks like he's trying to cute his way out of some series trouble...
It's startin' to blow here, Shutting the computers down now, in case we have power outage, will check in later. :~)
Good morning....
I am in a state where I don't realize how friggin' early it is. By lunchtime I am going to be asleep but oh well.
Talon's got 6 am meetings until the end of January and I don't do well with rolling over and going back to bed. So I'm going to work early too. At least I have a nice long lunch break to get things done.
Which is odd because I derive from Midwest stock. Kansas dirt farmers. The quiz didn't ask about international influences. I say "no worries!" a lot which is Australian. I use a bit of Spanglish from time to time. Given that linguistics is a legitimate field, I bet that quiz could be really interesting if it were expanded a bit.
Yesterday was irritating because I was called in to consult on a test. They ignored every single one of my suggested changes to their test plans. It was "who are you?" and "who invited you?" the whole day. Then the big wigs felt it necessary to explain what the different crews were doing. I was so insulted that finally I bit and got into the pissing contest. "Yes, this is what my organization does for a living ... yes we developed that procedure ... you realize the for-record testing will be done with the procedure I recommended ... oh you missed a spot - see, here? ... blah blah blah." I was so insulted at the end of the day. Don't ask for my input and then ignore it, don't invite me out there as a SME consultant and then baby talk to me about stuff I already know. ARGH!
Y'all check in when you can.
