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!

It kept getting hung up at one spot, so first I cleaned it with isopropanol. That didn’t work so I did the toothpaste polish and voila! Playback!

What did you do, rub the toothpaste in the scratch on the disk?

I rubbed the whole disc down in toothpaste, rinsed with warm water, and dried it with a lint-free towel.

Heh, I saw THIS SHIRT in the Signals catalog, and thought about you NaNoWriMo folks.

I bought the Nanowrimo t-shirt this year. I also contributed, but my donor halo hasn't shown up. I've been nagging them for about three weeks.

In other newz, building appears to be too small for all the frap. Got a good bit of stuff set up and got a load to the land fill. Hope to paint Monday when I'm off.

Then to rehearsal, then to Nana's, then to dinner. We went to Kabuto (Japanese Steak House) and spent more time and money than I intended. I had 20 oz. Sapporo, so I'm guessing I won't be writing much tonight.

Or couldn’t Chloe hack into the future and download the plot to his PDA?

In other words, it’s time for an addition to the shed?

Way cool idea - (always wonders who thought of it first?) I’ve got a bad spot like that in my DVD of the Two Towers.

Well, after last season, it’s not necessarily a bad thing, imho.

I agree with you there... although I was interested to see if they could recover, I didn't have high hopes they would.

Yahbut...I don’t think there was any where to go but up. Couldn’t get much worse than last season. It was bound to be better.

24 was getting a little too PC for me, so I stopped watching.

Olympia has an eclectic mix of protesters... the black clad militant anarchist types...

Nice pictures, nice people.

Anybody out in public with their face masked should be killed instantly.
