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!
Barracudas only eat guys with sideburns? Is there more to the story than that?
Well played, Master Dwarf, if I do say so myself...
Careful, self congratulation can be hazardous to your health.
Of course, in your case...
I'm already half blind...
well... I got plenty of hard werk, somewhat safe environment, as long as he doesn’t whine or otherwise piss me off... can’t vouch fer his safety if’n that happens...
can’t say he’d werk with a band, but we have a piano, fiddle, and acoustic guitar at theridge...
barracudas are attracted shiny stuff... when the divemaster indicated osage’s sideburns, he promptly shaved them off with a dive knife...
I think the DM was pullin’ his leg and he bought it...
Well, he ain’t gonna get to Virginia Tech as quickly as he’d hoped. He’s doing okay in school, but not stellar.
Hard work would do him some good. But we’re at that stage where it has to be his idea. If Mom and Dad suggest it, it’s a bad idea.
‘Course one of my recent suggestions was “you could just move out...”
she said congratulation, not flatulation...
That is one of the basic rules they tell you about sharks though...
Don’t wear shiny jewelry (I don’t know that sideburns would count).
Also, don’t pee in the water, don’t go in if you’ve got an open wound or if it’s that time of the month fer wimmin, etc.
My basic shark defense is “don’t go in above yer ankles.”
I used to think that too, 'til I saw this baby shark crusing the area right below where the waves hit the beach. OB kept trying to convince me it was a 'little fishie', but I know a shark when I see one. It was ~in training~ by trying to bite ankles.
I ain’t skeered of the ankle-biters...mostly.
In other newz, it appears that my new watch ~wasn’t~ waterproof...even though it said it was...
Ha! That’s what I tell the boys...like if they can’t find their shoes. I say “Well, I don’t believe they jumped up and ran off down the street by themselves!”
Speaking of running...Joshua’s gift from Steve and I this year was a pair of running shoes. He ran up and down the street from the CDTS to the house...did it several times.
He’s a runner...you can see it in his stride. It comes natural.
Matthew’s gift from us was a new adult sized bike. He rode along side.
I agree.
I am trying to visualize you bald, g'nad...it's hard to picture you with what? A quarter inch less hair?
~wink~
Well, 42 minutes later Helpdesk and I ‘maybe we should try again tommorrow’ I may try carrier pigeon. OB
Oops...ping to that above.
Yuh, right!
too late...
Yeah, you’re probably right....
