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!
so doz mi typeing.
Just shots. Since they mingle with those ferals, they need to stay current on shots.
Ah...OK.
Yeah, they’re really not gonna like that. ;-)
I find the rotoscoping a lot scarier than any of PJs special effects...
Finished. Looked at the credits.
Aragorn...John Hurt
Legolas...Anthony Daniels
None of the other names seemed immediately familiar.
I’m thinkin’ uh plannin’ a nayberhood social event. Just betwixt my yard and thuh nayber’s.
Miz Ivy, meet Mr. Roundup...
Muahahahaaaahaha
Didn’t John Huston do the voice for Gandalf in that one? And Orson Bean did Bilbo, if I’m not mistaken.
Heh! Scott's, the lawn folks, makes a poison ivy killer; can't WAIT to try it!
I think you’re thinking of the Rankin/Bass “Hobbit” and “RotK”.
They were pretty good at the vets :~)
They don’t like being shoved in the same crate at home, but at the vets, they don’t want to come out and just want back in it :~)
It’s Caturday now..
Corin - that sounds like a must-see event. Round up works well. Any cherry trees in your neighborhood? Saw the DC pictures on the newz last nite.
For FRiends to our south, keep a weather eye peeled. Forecast calls for the possibility of T word stuff.
Trauma can be a good disciplinary method. ;-)
I’m getting ready to run out for errands...and to put gas in thenewlittlecar for the first time, though it’s actually still about half full. It’ll be interesting to see how accurate the little gas mileage computer it has really is.
Ungh...that was a convoluted sentence. Oh well.
Then I reallllly need to clean up. And sort. I’m in a spring cleaning state of mind. I think I’m gonna toss about half my wardrobe, if not more. Or give it to Goodwill.
My rule is to run with that when you have the impulse... those impulses usually don't last very long! :~)
Glad to hear the kitties are none the worse for the experience. They do seem to like the carrier once they are at the Vets. ‘No don’t wanna come out’. We’ve had to slide our cats out more than once.
I think I need to do it before I start analyzing the situation too much. ;-)
Hey! Please send my your new e-mail addy, and I’ll send you some links to see the Space stuff going over you! Tonight, just before 8pm, you should be able to see both the Jules Verne and the ISS!
D’OH You’re right!
Dang it’s been quiet here today...
Well, in the interest of striking while the iron is hot, I took a load of clothes to Goodwill before I could change my mind. All well and good so far.
Then I thought I’d try to find one or two work tops since I’m getting a little short on those. But I didn’t wanna go to Value Village since I’m annoyed at their pricing lately. I mean...paying ten or fifteen bucks for a ten year old shirt when a new one is only twenty seems a bit much to me.
But I didn’t find a single new top that was both something I was willing to wear and for a price I was willing to pay. :-\ It was a pretty miserable experience in general. I hate clothes shopping. Ungh.
Now I wish I had chocolate ice cream.
You live next to a store. ;~)
