The Hobbit Hole XXXVII - ...Down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed!

Posted on 09/25/2008 6:43:34 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 mentioned on the live thread that Obama is simply incoherent. He's trying so hard to be sure that all the talking points are covered, that he just keeps spouting things off.

I'm loving that McCain is schooling him right now on Iraq.

He sure sounds arrogant on this subject. Makin’ me wanna slap him. “I know better than the military what’s best for the military. If they know what’s good for them, they’ll let me help.”

I like McCain pointing out the difference between a strategy and a tactic...

Can we add “Tahly bahn” and “Pahkistahn” as drinking cues?

I propose a drink for every time Zero mentions President Bush or "the failed policies of the last eight years", or McCain refers to his loooooong history in Washington.

Ookay. And if we talk nicely to North Korea and China and Iran and such, we can end with a group hug and all live happily ever after.

Followed by LOTS of backpedaling.

BTW, I note the NaNo site is back, and all spiffed up for the new season.

Cool - I haven’t checked it out yet. I’ve got three plot possibilities and next to no motivation. (I’ve been busy spinning wool...)

I have a wonderful typewriter (with a nifty robot typeface) to use this year...but no plot whatsoever.

I’m feeling rather stressed about it, actually. Usually I at least have a few ideas floating around. This year, not so much.

Heh...looks like some folks are already latching onto the “I have a bracelet, too” thing.

Zero may have a bracelet too, but McCain doesn't have a seal... yet. ;-)

I think I know what I’m doing. Considered a realist-ish piece but I want to do another science fantasy.... got most of a plot and a set of main characters anyway.

McCain kicked butt in the debate and had this new ad BEFORE the final comments...

Wow, that's fast!

Pundits are saying "it's a draw", which means McCain won big time.
