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!

Yes, it’s very pathetic considering they can’t manage to resist doing the bad thing in the first place.

Heh...yeah, that’s a lab for ya. My old lab would act seriously guilty even if it was very obviously another of the dogs or a cat that did the deed.

The dachshunds, on the other hand, had no consciences. Period.

My old lab (Jo) has gone where the good doggies go. She died the same year my mother did, about a month earlier. She was a good dog.

The dachshunds, on the other hand, were rotten. ;-) What cracks me up is that you can talk to almost any dachsie owner about their dogs, and they typically will try to top one another with bad-dog stories. So the lack of conscience is apparently not an unknown trait. ;-)

But ninjas have to be unseen and unheard. He won’t get much candy that way.

Back on Halloween, 1977, one of my co-workers had a trick or treater dressed all in black. She was admiring his costume, but was confused why he never said anything. His mother explained, saying "He's Darth Vader. He doesn't talk, he only breathes." ;o)

My dog is still around, I just had to leave her at my old house, no room for her here. Heck, there’s no room for me here.

Every time I think I have a semi-original idea, within a week or so, I find out that it’s an idea that’s been used about a hundred times in just the last decade.

I don't think there ARE any more original stories.

Yeah well. I had to go to a bored meeting. At least I got to heckle the presenter, so there’s that.

Yup. And today is Free Taco Tuesday from Taco Hell because Jacoby Ellsbury (cutiepie) stole a base. The Dirt Dogs started calling him TACOby BELLsbury.

Probably not.

But every so often I’m fool enough to think I’ve come up with one, and then am astounded when someone else already wrote it. ;-)

urgh. I really want to go home. I simply must finish up the last six squares for the baby afghan (gift) before 1 Nov. Plus I need to get ransom candy for Halloweeen, sweep my walk, and put out the cheesey plastic jack-o-lanterns for tomorrow. None of which I can do here at work. :(

I haven’t picked up any Halloween candy. I’m gonna hide from trick-or-treaters...

I want to finish reading a couple of books and clean before November 1.
