The Hobbit Hole XXXIV - But better than rain or rippling streams...

Posted on 08/07/2007 7:52:15 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

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!

That guy on screen is now the govanah of the State of Cahlihforniah.

Is this a great country or what?

Smirnoff: “So... there I was, just getting off the plane at LAX, and I rented a car— no really— They didn’t even ask for party membership, nothing, it was amazing... and so I’m driving out of the airport in big American car and there it is on a great big billboard sign: AMERICA LOVES SMIRNOFF!”

So I’m thinking WHAT A COUNTRY! So friendly!!!

Is funny.

He is a funny guy. Speaking of the Gubernator, I always love the movie Demolition Man where Sylvester Stallone is awakened from cyber-prison, and finds out that Ahnold is President, since they changed the Constitution. Funny movie!

My sister posted hamster pics on our family board yesterday and they had the worst demon eyes... she said the one actually has red eyes for real.

Wow, what a cool dog! This is Margarette’s dog? I thought she had a lab mix!

No, shepherd mix. Very little “mix”. ;-) She’s 3/4 German Shepherd, and 1/4 Border Collie, but it doesn’t show all that much, except that she isn’t *quite* shaped right for a German Shepherd.

She really is a cool dog. Very smart, lots of personality.

Huh - I’d have guessed purebred from that picture. I love GSDs.

I wanted to take her home with me. *snif*

You mostly only notice she’s not purebred when she’s standing - she doesn’t have that sloped stance they seem to typically have anymore. And she’s built smaller boned - can’t tell as much when she’s lying down.

Gotta love those ears!

It’s a face you’d take very seriously if you saw it coming at you :~) They have such an intense expression.

Well, here's the latest chapter in my feral kitten taming project... last night I learned that there are actually THREE kittens. Ack. I've still never seen them all together, but they were all three there last night.

This is the little calico - Sister 1. Last night I had set the tuna up on the table where the food usually is, in the doorway of the crate. But she didn't figure that out. She saw me and smelled the tuna and she just sat and stared at me expectantly for a long time. ;~)

Finally she found it.

Then THIS little one shows up... Hello... who are you?

This one looks like the little grey tiger "Brother", but it's a calico too and she has dark feet, his are white. I think there is now a "Sister 2". Oh dear.

I saw Yakov at the Richmond Comedy club way back in 1985 when he was starting out.

Man, I’m old.
