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!

Yeah - fifth grade.

In other news, is it plagarism if I lift the "Don't Taze Me, Bro" kid's whining to use for one of my characters?

*snork*

I’ve only ever seen one of the little tigery looking ones. Good pictures! I hope the project is a success! :-)

Speakin' of that, has Barkely moved in with Cisco yet? ;-)

I had one of the gray tiger striped cats when I still lived at my parent's house. I called him "Griffin."

There’s been no further blowups between Barkley and Gidget... we’re managing feeding time carefully, and so far... We have peace.

Ah yes, that would be more in line with your penchant for harboring refugees.

In case there was any doubt Comcast is still the antichrist.

However, I have discovered that the best way to get live assistance is to push "4 to cancel your service."

Don’t mock me. I’ve been on the phone with Comcast (five calls now) since 3:00). The morons came out today to bury the cable and cut off the internet, the cable AND the phone.

I was on line with “service” (located in Zimbabwe or New Delhi, I never can tell). They said the best they can do is have someone out in the morning. I asked them why since it was their screw up, couldn’t someone work overtime?

Then I asked to speak to the dispatcher, but that’s not allowed. Then I asked to speak to the person who makes those policy decisions. Also not allowed.

I DID finally manage to find out how to reach the local office and just called and gave them an earful.

I stopped short of saying “you know, my son works in a store that sells firearms.”

Reality is nobody can be home this afternoon for them to fix it anyway. But it still pisses me off.

I’d have signed a contract with Verizon today if they could install tomorrow, but it’s a three week waiting period. Still we may do that anyway.

1-666-COMCAST, the toll free number of the antichrist.
