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!

...His date of death on the tombstone is the date of the crash.

Remember in the odd cover story Jack told on the stand, 8 survived the crash, six left the island. Jin is apparently not one of the 8 in the cover story.

I dunno about the cash thing...I think it depends on how your bank does things. So far as I know, the Capitol One auto loan (which was a higher rate than my bank, for me) works as cash. Might be worth asking about a discount!

I’m going back and forth between a coupla models still. The Hyundai offers more for the dollar, for sure...but I still worry about longevity and resale, even though it’s unlikely to be a problem.

Plus it’d be interesting to get something with a bit more character...

Visa card in hand... Thanks for the info 300winmag, and the ping Squantos!

You're welcome. Shall I add you to the Saturday Night Gun Pron ping list?

Any objections to reviewing related gadgets when I'm low on gun stuff? I'm now carrying the new SureFire Backup in my pocket. It's pricey for a flashlight, but it easier to obtain than the phial of Galadriel.

And in a totally-unrelated Tolkien moment, while looking up the ID for one caller, I noticed our security records show her mother's maiden name to be Proudfoot. I guess we still have hobbits among us.

Well, if you subscribe to the Time travel/ conservation of timeline theory linked on the official thread - The Kwon's baby would have been a net gain for the timeline, therefore Sun should have died just as Ben's mother died to accommodate the net gain that Ben represented. Jin's death may have satisfied the requirement. The same theory may explain off-island Aaron's apparent handicap. If the on and off-island timelines are moving at different rates (up to 8 years difference? or is it 4? regardless...), then off-island Aaron has the same mental age as on-island Aaron - just a different physical age. And because Aaron was conceived off island, he's not a net gain to the timeline.

And if you subscribe to the Island-as-Purgatory theory - We must have an exciting episode coming up for Jin to have redeemed himself and earned his passage to the next life. I was really touched by the conversation between Jin and Sun about him being a different man now vice the man he was before the island. Maybe that's it and he'll die now. This theory could also explain Aaron. His off-island handicap preserves him in a state of innocence.

Either way, I'm hooked.

For reference here's the link to the time loop theory.

Mmmmm. Gun pr0n. Please do.

I put my Surefire e2e in my back pocket during my drive to work one night a while back. You don't want to find that your seat is really not on fire, but you have inadvertantly depressed the on button while doing 75. I can't believe how hot that puppy can get. I bought the led adapter quite soon after that.

Today I don’t have to go to work. I do have to do my midterm before we can go to the range though (Talon’s taking off around noon)

Hopefully we get some sun...

So you must have been intended to have a camera in the future.

Good morning :~)

There’s a bunny inside my bunny fence.

*Sigh*

I’ll have to fix that before the asparagus comes up.

I’m not too sure that Miss Cat would like a wolverine around the place.
