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!

[Corin Stormhands]

Hey, what’s the third book in the series again? I want to pick it up for the trip to New Orleans.

Thanks!

Not sure if I've actually been able to share this before... Gidget barking at the TV

[RosieCotton]

Heh...my favorite part is when she goes after the little bouncing car.

[Corin Stormhands]

that dog ain’t right...

[TalonDJ]

Er, I mean I use the electric when I am not using a Ka-Bar and gasoline.

[RosieCotton]

She’s broken. Very entertaining, but broken. ;-)

Like I can talk...

[HairOfTheDog]

She’s actually the most functional dog we’ve got. :~)

[Corin Stormhands]

I’m not sure that makes it any better.

[RosieCotton]

Scary, isn’t it? ;-)

[SuziQ]

LOL!! Were Homer and Barkley her backup howlers?

[SuziQ]

I can’t imagine anyone but McKellan playing Gandalf.

[HairOfTheDog]

Yeah - Homer just doesn’t understand it... I think he’s protesting :~)

[SuziQ]

Homer just doesn’t understand it... I think he’s protesting :~)

Gidget's barking was intruding on his nice quiet world. I can see how he'd be miffed! ;o)

[Corin Stormhands]

you know back in the day...

[Corin Stormhands]

we’d all be scrambling...
