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 think your count is correct!

I hope they aren’t all from one momma. :~)

It was hard to tell what heads went with what bodys, and I think one head is down in the pile somewhere, so that made counting even harder. It was almost like looking at one of those pictures of spotted horses on a background of snow and rocks, or birch trees and trying to figure out how many horses there are.

Not me, I don’t wanna watch. My dentist has huge screens and he can show you what he’s gonna do. Can’t stand ‘em.

I asked the Mrs. this afternoon if she thought I could get a semicolonscopy...

I’d read that it was a lot of elderly folks, too.

Those kind of stories likely were written by folks who didn't see the rally, since The Villages ('America's Friendliest Hometown') is a retirement community. There were loads of folks of all ages there, from as far away as Gainesville in the north to Tampa in the southwest and Orlando in the southeast. Some came all the way up from Miami (5 hours). The Palins spent the early part of the day at Disneyworld.

The Palin Derangement Syndrome is getting out of control. I’ve never seen such irrational, white hot hatred before. Not even against G.W. Just, woah.

And all by sweet, compassionate libs, full of hope and convinced that conservatives are such haters.

More like Woman Cat warns about being a Muslim Bride.

Speaking of which, a colleague of mine is an O-6 in the reserves, did a tour in Iraq last year. Told us the story just yesterday of him sitting in the mess hall with an Iraqi "general" chatting. The General kept eyeing our women soldiers, speculating which one would make a good new wife #7. He had a recent opening on the wife roster. My colleague dared ask what that meant. Apparently wife #7 gave him some back talk in town one day, so when they got home he took her out in the back yard and shot her in the head. Thus an opening for a new wife #7. Colleague had the unsavory task of trying to educate that pig in how to behave in a civilized world.

Stories like that leave an emotional stain on a soul. We are all truly blessed to live in this country.

I’m hoping that someone, somewhere in the MSM picks up the story that Axelrod is connected to the YouTube videos trashing Governor Palin.

It was great...at one point a woman came up and said “You can still take the smaller van...that many people will fit on it.” and CenterofUniverseMan says “Sure they’ll fit if they’re ALL SKINNY! We’re Southern Baptist, we eat a lot and you can bet not everyone is gonna be SKINNY! She needs to take the bigger van!”

ROFLOL!! I was truly tickled.

Good morning!

Be thinking about me this afternoon and evening...I’m working an eight hour shift. They’re usually really hard on me but I’ve been canceled the past 3 out of four times I’ve been scheduled and I need the hours.

Wow...that is Fantastic!

It is pretty amazing. About 10% of that is my profit margin. But that's not bad for a few hours work playing with Photoshop.

The only marketing I've done is the links I've posted on FR (some of which have been pulled) and posting this on my blog and Twitter. The bulk of the orders have come through CafePress.

It doesn't pay the mortgage. But it does pay for my Internet addiction.

Take care and pace yourself!

Our Wicket goes in to be spayed today and then we’ll go up, I think, and pick up the camper, if it’s done at the shop.

So be thinking of us too, and Wicket, that nothing goes wrong with her, and that nothing goes wrong with us towing our storm home down here. It’s about an hour away.
