Sealed away, sealed away, sealed away..."

Hope Has a Place.

[Sam Cree]

I can't think of anything else to say, except that I am impressed.

Having one of these and being trained to use it is so much better than a "panic room." And, you don't need to wait two hours to use it.

Enya is an Irish singer. You've probably heard several of her songs without knowing the singer's name; I'll bet you'd recognize them if you heard them, though.

LOTR is "Lord of the Rings." Enya sang a song in the first movie of the trilogy (Fellowship of the Ring).

Enya = cool singer of hauntingly beuatiful - if sometimes unintelligable or presumptuous songs. Was with the Irish folk group Clanad (sp) Sometimes sings in latin. Orinocco Flow - Sail Away is probably her ID song.

LOTR=Lord Of The Rings - trilogy by J R R Tolkein. The Hobbit and The Silmarillian are two more of his works.

...perhaps carried out.
<p.
My panic room is right next to my bed. 44. mag within reach and a 9mm in another location.

Ern,

I also get confused by all that protocol. I sometimes wonder if it's OK to sh*t, shower and shave all at the same time. Always looking to optimize my time.

[Burr5]

Yeah. She's actually the richest woman in Ireland. And no, I don't hold it against her, nor do I have any idea why the maid didn't get herself safe too. Prepare for class-envy on tap.

[grellis]

And just to prove to everyone that I am completely anal about the book, it is spelled Silmarillion.

Now you can throw a chair at me. I don't mind.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Her "Only time" was the background music to one of the most moving tributes to 9/11 on the web.

After I saw it I removed that song from my computer play list because it choked me up every time I heard it and there is no crying allowed in the office.

[ordinaryguy]

She certainly has a lot of chairs in that room.

[Burr5]

That's understandable. There are probably a dozen Enya songs that have a similar effect on yours truly. "Aniron" and "May it Be" from FOTR are just two of them. And they don't benefit from the crushing emotion 9-11 arouses in people.

[Incorrigible]

Should have sailed away on the Orinoco Flow.

[ordinaryguy]

Now you can throw a chair at me. I don't mind.

Enya might if you sneak past the castle defenses and into her chair room - pictured in #26.

[Burr5]

That's actually pretty funny if you get it.

[SamAdams76]

I've read about several high-profile house-breaking cases in the U.K. over the last few years. I guess when the criminals are confident that nobody inside will have any guns, they feel more secure about breaking into somebody's house.

[Incorrigible]

If I was more cynical, I would have said:

Isn't that just like the Guarda... wait 'til the coast was clear and then show up to take notes.

[TheRedSoxWinThePennant]

All I can think of is Monty Python

[bobdsmith]

Perhaps a moat will stop the same thing happening again.
