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'll second that Netflix recommendation! We've done Netflix since Oct. of 2000. Heck, I think we're Charter Members, if they have such a thing! One of the sites we employed when choosing movies that we could watch with the kids was Kids In Mind , and it gave the best reviews for parents to know exactly what to expect from a movie.

It's a rare movie, nowadays, that takes us to the theater to see it on the big screen. We're just as happy popping our own corn and watching on our flat screen tv, with our surround sound system, from the comfort of our easy chairs. ;o)

My teeth are so misalligned that I can’t bite on both sides of my mouth at the same time. If this is not a severe financial problem, get the orthodontics.

About 24, Garofalo will NOT be back next season. Also I want to see them drive from Westchester to the Federal Building in downtown Manhattan in 10 minutes.

As actors go, Garafalo isn’t bad. Her character did provide a key role while Mary Lynn Rajskub had to be out for her pregnancy. It’s more that she is one of those vile human beings that, in any context, makes my skin crawl.

But, it’s the writing that really sucked. That and the whole Tony=Gollum/Smeagol “plot line.”

I would say that Tony is totally Gollum at this point. After all Gollum had a sob story too!

I was going to say something like that over on that thread, but didn’t feel like getting the remarks I would have gotten in response. By the way, peninsular Florida is about to float out to sea.

Latest news is that the main east west highway around here, FL 40, which goes East to Daytona is flooded and closed just east of downtown Ocala. We have had just over 12 inches of rain since Sunday, and will have 60% to 80% chance of rain thru Saturday, with 40% to 60% chances all next week. Last week we were in a severe drought!!

Nanowrimo research in 140 characters or less (we'll see if Twitter/Ping/Facebook can help on this one)

Today's question: What OBJECTIVE bios of Obama and McCain would you suggest as research for a work of political fiction with similar characters - not them?

Discuss

I doubt if an objective bio of 0bama will ever be written, and no publisher would dare touch it. With his past life a total secret, all that will be available is hagiography.

Well, good point.

I just need something roughly between he's "Nicolae Carpathia" from Left Behind and "Let Us Fall Down and Call Him Blessed."

Do you guys use PetsMeds.com? It took me over a week to actually get Sam’s order processed. Saved some bucks, but he needs those drugs. Thoughts?

In other Sam news, Mrs. said she heard him fall down the stairs yesterday. He missed a step(s) and ended up sliding into the rug in the foyer. He seemed okay last night and did the stairs several more times. But still...

It never rains, but it pours. ;o)

Central Florida is as flat as a flitter, so there's nowhere for the rain to go!
