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!
Well, it IS Hollywood, after all.
At some point I’d like to buy a decent G&S box set of some sort. I’ve seen a few of ‘em in full (Pirates of Penzance, HMS Pinafore, The Mikado), and they’re just *fun* to watch repeatedly. ‘Cause of the lyrics and all. ;-)
I hadn’t thought about checking Netflix for ‘em. Foolish of me, huh?
Are there decent versions of any of them except Pirates of Penzance? I need to get acquainted with more of ‘em...
According to Rush and FOX, Fred’s out.
Saw that. Damn.
Well, at least we’ve got ten months before the lesser-of-two-evils decision.
Some of us haven’t voted for the lesser of ~our~ evils yet...
Have fun with that, man. Least we got to vote for someone we could be proud of.
When do you vote? super tuesday?
No. We’re a week later. So it’ll prolly be all over by then.
Well fork.
*sign*
or ‘sigh’ even.
:P
In the early 1960's I attended NYU Uptown, in the Bronx. The campus was later sold to the New York City Community College system. In any case there were black squirrels all over the campus, about 5 miles from the Zoo.
I’m not going to even bother voting in next Tuesday’s primary now.
We just got in from doing errands, and SirKit had heard that on the radio. I hate it. I’ll vote for whoever the nominee is, because I don’t want Her Heinous or Obama anywhere near the Oval Office, but there are no Republicans for whom I really want to work at getting elected.
I’d never seen black squirrels before the Bronx Zoo. I didn’t know what it was at first, when it scurried across the path in front of us. That’s when I was with Clare’s Girl Scout troop, on a weekend trip to NYC. I had Flat Frodo with me, and was taking pictures with him all over the zoo. The girls thought I was nuts, but they were having fun helping me find good photo locations. I even had a couple of women ask me to take a picture with their camera of them with Flat Frodo!
Ooh, how far have you got now?
And the lion shall lay down with the... beagle?
It is pretty cute!
Heh...but Barkley kinda looks like he’s asking “Why me?”
He always looks like that :~)
