The Hobbit Hole XXXV - ...is Water Hot that smokes and steams.
Posted on 01/03/2008 6:35:58 PM PST 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!

Locke introduced himself to the other castaways by flipping open his suitcase to reveal his extensive knife collection (response by one of the other characters: "Who *is* this guy?"). He then used his knives to hunt down and kill a wild boar that had attacked the camp, and brought back the meat to help feed the castaways.
He's my favorite character on the show, actually.

I’m sure that talking about nuke plants WOULD make his head explode.

Lurking inside everyone who complains about overpopulation is a eugenicist who only wants to control the breeding of "those people". IMHO.Oh, my did YOU hit the nail on the head!

In other news... my otherwise very dull meeting was brightened by having to share the room with my MC again. He made a funny during the wrap up by prefacing his one remaining issue with "I have a hanging chad..."
The meeting was dull - no cussing, no exploding heads. Though there was a pissing contest over who could most effectively disappear the other. The guy with the backhoe won that one. "I can put you in a deep, deep hole in the ground..."
To: g'nad
Locke is actually a very good fit for you. He is fundamentally kind, a person of faith and hope. Life on the island, for him, is one long series of miracles. Plus he’s all badass.
To: Bear_in_RoseBear; g'nad
Heh, good scene. The castaways were standing around saying ‘oh what are we going to do for food?’ and Locke throws a Kabar into a seat from the plane and he says ‘We Hunt!’.
To: LSAggie
Locke throws a Kabar into a seat from the plane and he says We Hunt!.That's right! That was in the Season 1 episode "Walkabout", which explained what Locke was doing in Australia before boarding the flight. That's still my favorite episode of the entire series. :-)
To: Lil'freeper
Heh...my brother said of Locke, “Believe in yourself...or he will cut you.”
