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!

"A cutlass never runs out of ammo."
But bullets never grow dull.Seek for the Sword that was broken:
In Imladris it dwells;
There shall be counsels taken
Stronger than Morgul-spells.
There shall be shown a token
That Winchester's time is full,
For a sword never runs out of ammo,
But bullets can never grow dull.
Sorry 'bout 'dat....
....but not 'dat sorry...

Well - it went well. The Resident Doc was a youngster and a geek. He reeked geek. So we talked chemistry... pH's, precipitation, solutions and such. And I was pleased with the conversation. The best part was when I whipped out the ziplock baggie containing Eli and asked, "What would you like me to do with my pet rock?"
Eli is on his way to be dissected. Pooor Eli.

At least you found Eli. Not so lucky with mine.
I wenta thenewdentist this morning. My dentist retired and this is the guy that bought the practice. Seemed nice enough, even if he is only 16.
But I'm not so sure about the “new” office. I can get over the change in decor (a friend's artwork commissioned for the office was gone). But the hygienist was far less funny that she thought she was.
And he has this new gizmo that lets him put a camera in my mouth and project the image live on a monitor on the wall so I can see what he's talking about. That was rather disconcerting.

I went to a dentist that had one of those once.... did he also have the machine that goes “ping”?
To: HairOfTheDog
I didn’t hear a ping. What’s that for?

Does that mean you’ve never seen “Meaning Of Life?” You’ve never seen the “Death” scene?
To: Corin Stormhands
To: HairOfTheDog
That’d be what that means.

Well, yes, there’s that too :~)
And I do love the bit about war... the officers in particular with the hole in the tent. :~)
To: HairOfTheDog
Well, about that salmon you were sending...
