The Hobbit Hole XXXVI - O! Water cold we may pour at need...

Posted on 05/03/2008 8:48:06 AM PDT 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!

I have three meetings today. I usually have one a week. Ugh.

At least I get a free lunch out of it.

I think I heard that too. :-)

Last night down in the hotel lobby lounge I was casually freeping when... all of a sudden outta nowhere...

I don’t usually talk politics when I’m down here in [gak] this place. It rarely ends well. But this dude in a foot cast sidles up to the bar and within mere seconds starts whining about Sarah Palin. I tried ignoring it, but he was so... so... stupid. I couldn’t help myself.

All I did was stick up for her a little. I told him that he was just flat wrong on what he was saying, that Sarah was too stupid to be in office since she didn’t believe in science and would force us all to stop believing in science. I’m not kidding. He really said that.

What was ~really~ funny was the look on his face. The idea that somebody might disagree had clearly ~never~ occurred to him. Ever. It really threw him off. I wonder if he’s ever talked to anyone that wasn’t a moonbat lefty. He was just sputtering senseless partial phrases and KOS-type talking points.

When the guy on his other side started agreeing with me, he totally lost it. I patted him on the shoulder and said, nicely, “Dude, you gotta let go of the hate”.

He bugged out. Completely confused. He was utterly flummoxed by the mere idea that somebody he spoke to wasn’t a kool-aid drinking lefty. It’s quite possible he’d never met one before.

Honestly, the left is becoming absolutely unglued.

This isn’t won yet, but it’s sure goin’ in the right direction.

That’s the “change” we need. :-)

ROFL

Glenn Beck just called Barbra Streisand the “ugliest movie star since Lon Chaney in makeup...”

He’s on a roll today.

Unglued. Unhinged. Un_______.

It really is quite remarkable to watch.

The safest town in America is Condom, Oregon.

OK - that’s a typo. It’s really Condon. But run that through a hundred spell checkers today over at AP, and lets just see what happens. ;~)

Oh, pretty!! Could you please send me that pattern?
We're fixing to head to FL, then MS, for a couple of weeks. I'm taking some yarn and some knitting needles to see if I can find anyone to teach me to knit!

Looks good! I think it’d be better with lighter colored yarn, so I bet yours looks nice. Is it just regular worsted weight?

I still need to make up my mind what I’m gonna make for thenewnieces...something quick and easy, since I don’t have much time in the scheme of things!

Heh...we had a Capt. Condon in my squadron when I was in the military. It was often misspelled...mostly unintentionally. He was a pretty cool guy.

When I was in DC I worked with a woman whose maiden name was “Trojan.” Her husband was a descendant of General “Hooker.”

Oh dear...

On a more pleasant note (no pun intended), did I ever tell you about the lady I knew when I was in high school who had a maiden name that was pronounced “Do Re,” like the notes?

She married a name named Mee.
