God do I hate that phrase. For some people I think it is physically possible to do, but it really annoys the hell out of me. Anyway, the point of what will most likely be today's only post, there is a guy out there that is planning to dig a real "hobbit hole." More importantly, he plans to live in it. Yes, when I write "hobbit hole," I am referring to hobbits from The Lord of The Rings. What's more, he doesn't have the money to dig and live in the hole on his own, he wants donations from the public to help him live in the hole.
Now on one hand I admire him wanting to make as authentic and comfortable "hobbit hole" as possible to live in. If for no other reason than it gets him off the streets and into a hole in the ground where this guy deserves to be. On the other hand, I am very concerned with what is happening to our society.
Sure people aren't saving enough for their retirement. Sure the right-wing religious conservatives are beginning to run our government -- I like to think of them as the Christian Taliban. Gay people want to get married. Illegal immigrants want to change our language, drive, and vote. I want a 30 gal. container of trash can punch, a furry mascot uniform, a bottle of chocolate sauce, 2 roles of duct tape, a camcorder and Kate Beckinsale for a week -- make that a year or longer... These are all very important things that need to be adressed by society but there is a grown man that wants to live in a hole based on his interpretion of a kids book -- and he wants our help to do it.
Here is what I propose we do for this fellow. Let's get him to a doctor. If he is all there mentally and physically, I have no problem helping him get his dream of living in a hole. But, I want help in making my dream become a reality first. So, if you know Kate Beckinsale, I ask that you have her send me an email. As soon as Kate is knocking at my door with a case of Hershey's syrup, I will start the crusade to fund this guy's dream of living in a hole.
