The ten greatest Christmas songs are:
1.
"Waltz of Fire"

Who would give a shit if Santa had any of these songs? Well, because we did…

You know the song:

"Waltz of Fire" lyrics:

In a house burning down,
A flame on the floor,
A thousand dead and forgotten,
They sing in our heads,
We sing in an empty house with an empty father.
It's a song of despair and heartbreak—
I know its true sound.
A song like that tells me that there is always a life to leave us,
And I want it back the night I die.

2. "Siegfried and Roy Mankiewicz"

Top 5 greatest Star Wars characters
1.
____ (George Lucas)
He was the star of the franchise, the godfather of all Star Wars fanboys, and is, probably, the most influential character to ever appear in the franchise. An all-time great Jedi. An absolute badass. He would have taken over the galaxy if there wasn't for the death of C-3PO. Also, he's pretty fucking sexy as well because he's a guy! He literally just won't give up and does things like this to protect the little thing he has as his bodyguard.
2. Jabba the Hutt (Ada Wong)
A pretty good villain but I find the fact that he's only in movies 4 and 5, and that he's the only character in the entire series that we can actually remember anything about is more than a little annoying.
3. Darth Vader (Mark Hamill)?
Now I don't know what role he's going to play in future movies but he certainly looks awesome from the back in movies 1 through 10.
4. Lando Calrissian (Brent Spiner)
This guy in the original trilogy is the strongest part of the whole story and in fact

The following conversation took place on 5 April 1991, at the Sushi Bar Restaurant on Toronto's Queen Street. William Gibson and Bruce Sterling were in town as part of the Toronto Book Fair, but while being questioned by security they heard a man, later identified as David Cronenberg, talking about the death of the late Edward Said. The two men became friends and agreed to work together in an attempt to kill Said.
Gibson and Sterling discussed how a person who knew Said as a friend would "not know him from a thousand years of time".
After the men returned, David said, "When I looked him in the eye I could almost see myself standing there. … The moment of fear had passed". This conversation was recorded on 1 April 1991.
"I could see what the man looked like. It had nothing to do with me... he would have been a different man if what he said to me had not changed. (He) would not be who he was today. When Edward Said's death happened, he went from being a brilliant writer – he became one of the most respected literary figures we would be able to say we didn't know. I think a person who knows Edward Said wouldn't have believed in me

The seventh son of a well-to-do family, a quiet boy, he was born and raised at the St. Andrew's school in Bournemouth, but moved to England in 1952. He did well, but it was his father's determination and persistence that eventually led to him winning more senior cricket in England. In 1958 he played seven Tests for England, and his next international was against Australia in Durban. When the All Blacks lost by 23 runs to the All Blacks' own All Black and All Black Indian teams, the team made its triumphant return to Australia for the 1962 World Cup. In 1961 and 1962, the British media had already taken notice of his exploits and when Australia beat the All Blacks in Perth, he made some comments about his team's match fitness, saying that Australians "don't go bowling", that the "old ones in that team don't do much". He was promptly arrested on charges of assaulting police, but only after being acquitted. Although Australian authorities charged him with a minor offence (assaulting police) in 1962, this was later dropped in the courts as a court would have seen that the evidence did not support the charge.

The Doctor is on his way back to London when his companion, Mrs Smith, and her children suddenly disappear. She is attacked by a gang of vicious dogs which devour many of his companions, including Martha, until he has to fight off the remaining dog for the rest of his life. As he watches Mrs Smith's children disappear, he has a vision of John Harrison, the last man on Earth, returning from the dead and the Doctor is able to help him. They return to the Earth and confront the gang of dog-killers. Together the Doctor and his Doctor Who companions battle them once again. They destroy each dog monster together, preventing one of them from growing too strong, but before they've all destroyed the first dog monster, Doctor Who discovers that Martha has turned into a cat instead, much to the astonishment of his friends. Together they travel to the planet St Mungo's to try and free Martha but are caught in time-dispersible travel bubbles by Professor Loewen, and are thrown back into the dimension's past before they can leave. They are later joined up with the companions on a trip through time when they witness Mary, played by actress Louise Blalock, being bitten by a monkey.

The biggest misconception people have about serial killers is that

they're not interested in sex

but the truth is they're obsessed with

being alone with another human being.

They want to be loved as many times as possible.

They won't stop and I believe it when I hear how they

explore our lives, our families, our relationships with others.

They're serial killers because they're desperate for love…

not for money.

As I said earlier…

the reason you find the serial killer so hard to be

acceptedly accepted into society is because

they're all out there waiting for you to accept

them.

This is why I said in my TED talk last year…

this is why the serial killer, who isn't in your

life, is so misunderstood because society doesn't

put much of a label or label on a killer…

They're seen as normal.

They're not like everyone.

And this is why society still hasn't

put a label on this type of person.

Here's a couple things people should think

about when they hear the word serial

In the final episode of Spongebob, Patrick is surprised that SpongeBob says, "All he's got is two balls" when he says he has only two. He was upset by SpongeBob's comment, and was not happy over having to spend the night alone. At the end of the episode, it was revealed that, at some point, Mr. Krabs did not like Patrick's attitude and thought he wasn't worth spending time with. However, when SpongeBob returned at the end of Season 7, he admitted he regretted his remarks about him, especially since he did not have any balls left to hold a conversation with other people.

Patrick sometimes does things that will turn people off from him, such as when he tried to flirt with SpongeBob as part of his plan to make him fall in love with other women, but Squidward wasn't interested because he believed his love stories to be nothing but a show that SpongeBob was trying to get them into. Mr. Krabs seemed to dislike him as well when he told SpongeBob about what Patrick had done with Mr. Krabs, but SpongeBob quickly denied it, saying "It was okay when you first put him in that pile by the sea", showing that they were

In the final episode of Spongebob, Squidward is able to speak for the first time. Squidward explains, "I had long wanted to make you guys feel like you were close again." Then, we hear the sound that is the sound the other fish make when he is close. The Squidward voice sounds strange, although not surprising. SpongeBob tries his best to say Squidward's name, but nothing comes out.

Squidward's mouth does not sound exactly when he talks. He talks in a strange accent which resembles a French voice and some unusual vowel sounds like s or r.

It is not clear what he is speaking about. He sounds annoyed and frustrated with having to be so close to SpongeBob, but he says it in good, cheerful tones.

When he is annoyed, Squidward's facial expressions show that the anger is for himself. When he is confident, SpongeBob feels scared and uncertain of himself, which is often done to make people believe their worst fears about their boss. When he is proud of himself, he looks bored, as usual.

When he feels like he is always the worst, he often speaks about his "worse" and uses puns with the "w

In the final episode of Spongebob, Mr. Krabs has developed a new method for making jellyfish. In a strange ceremony, Mr. Krabs brings together the three jelly-loving friends and tells all his guests what that is.

A series of Spongefic stories featuring Krabby Patties

In one scene, SpongeBob walks into a cupboard and finds two cupboards filled with a bunch of Krabby Patties. He tries to use them, but misses and falls backwards when he falls on his face! It's so hilarious!

SpongeBob finds some of the Krabby Patties on the way to school, but only one Krabby Pattie still lives! They had been eaten by an octopus, and when SpongeBob was eating one of the Krabby Patties, he got stuck with an invisible sticky substance attached to it.

A parody called "Biscuit" where SpongeBob makes a bun with all Krabby Patties, but only the "sweet" ones!

SpongeBob and the Krabby Krayt Snakes have their own episodes where all the characters are named after various things, but SpongeBob ends up saving all the Krabby Patties.

In the final episode of Spongebob, Plankton had the ability to change his form at will, and the only way for him to do so was to eat a human body. This form caused his stomach to overflow.

In the first season finale to the hit series Spongebob Squarepants, Spongebob tried to become a squid, but his attempt was ruined when he accidentally ate the head of someone he knew was dead, only to find out that it was still part of him.

Real life Edit

During the show, Spongebob became one of the rare animals who could change form when hungry.

He is the only animal to eat his food raw, which he learned while training the others to be more efficient at it and using it as food.

He was once the only animal that knew the secret formula for a puffer fish that would change the shape and color of their body.

When the fish were about to eat Squidward, when they asked him why he did not say a words to anyone about how he could transform, Spongebob replied that he wouldn't change his form if all the fish did as they wanted and ate as they wanted.

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

He might hear my heart beat,
But he may not see it.
My house will be buried in snow.
I will never see you again.
Then he will bury me under his tree.
I swear he will.
I will be buried here before the storm comes
I will not see him again.
He will not ever see me again.
Then his family will bury me alive,
After the storm comes.
He will bury me for the children on the road,
My old dog will eat my grave for food.
I will be buried here before the storm comes.
My old house will be buried in snow.
I swear I will be buried here.

OK, I'm just making up entire new seasons of Doctor Who here. Please make me the new showrunner so I can film this shit.

The Doctor is on his way back to London when, in a scene that goes completely against the grain of Doctor Who, he is pursued from behind by two teenage girls and thrown into a cell for being a "troubled young man".

A little while later, we take a look back at the last moments of the final season.

THE DRUNK PILOT

When Doctor Who returns to its roots, its style of storytelling is set against a series of surreal and unusual images and sounds.

We start off with the Doctor and Romana falling for each other, then as he walks back into his office, the pair have sex.

As he returns to London to his office the Doctor is being chased by a boy, who gets out of the car and throws his shoes into the fire.

"I'm going to do you one better," he says to John, "do him in with one pair of heels."

Just like that, it's a perfect ending to one of Doctor Who's finest moments.

The great Canadian novels are often not written by Americans but by Canadians: Stephen Fry, Terry Brooks, Michael Chabon, David Mitchell, Robert Bresson, and others. It was the British who gave us Jane Austen, Elizabeth Bowen, and others. The authors that did know it all were Canadians (think Jane Austen, Joyce Carol Oates, or J.M. Barrie). We must wonder whether our generation is really the most diverse: whether this diversity is not largely due to our choice to spend more time with British fiction readers.

For all this complexity, I hope that this article has helped to clarify the distinction between Canadians and Americans as far as we know. We should be grateful to American readers but also to those of Canadian descent who may wish to consider whether the works of the British are worth our time.

Most people don't realize that the term "bathroom" doesn't have a single, exclusive meaning. In New York City, a male bathroom is generally known in English as a stall, while a female toilet is known in English as a shower. If you're at a bar, you see a guy playing guitar or doing other tasks in a bathroom—all done by men. In some foreign countries, a female bathroom is usually open to all or most people, while a male bathroom remains private and reserved for the woman whose job it is.

When a woman uses the bathroom, other people do the same thing to her, using the same clothes, changing their hair, scrubbing and wiping themselves against her, and even urinating themselves. Many people, whether they know it or not, consider men and women to be fundamentally equal.

That kind of egalitarianism may be true, but it's far from universally shared. People often want to use the bathroom that's closest to a restaurant/nightclub/etc., which could mean men and women often use the same stall. This is why men often take turns in toilets. It's what gives people hope for the future

top 10 ways to recycle used blood:

1. Use blood for food

Some people use used blood as a dishwashing liquid or in their toothpastes, according to Consumer Reports.

"My husband and kids go to his brother's house in San Diego, where we buy blood for making ice cream at the kitchen table and use it as blood to clean glasses," says one blog user.

"My mom likes to put it in her handkerchief so that when it's cold, she'll wash her hands and hands only while she's washing hers," explains another.

2. Use leftover blood for food storage

Some people use leftover blood in place of milk to make a delicious sorbet.

"This recipe uses just half a cup of blood to get a great texture that tastes perfect after a glass of wine," says an blog post titled "10 Best Ways to Cook Blood from Used Blood and Other Ingredients" on FoodFacts.

3. Make a dish that includes blood:

"Blood makes such a good sauce or béchamel or saute pan," writes blogger "Dr. Thump." "I just put a quart of blood directly over meat. As my kids like it, I just pour that liquid into a dish and then sprinkle more on top of it as needed!"

4. Use bone marrow

Here are some hobo tips for riding the rails across America. First, remember that there is no limit to the number of things you can do. You can eat, sleep, do drugs, drink a couple cans of beer, etc.
You might as well do it all... just keep going.
Next, when you're going up north, the trails are often in pretty cool remote areas; and there is usually plenty of traffic.
If you're looking for a ride up north, you might find that it will take too long to get to the campsite. In that case, plan on doing a few days a month. Take some camping supplies and just leave a few beers with your phone, so you don't have to worry about it. I also suggest you grab a few food packs and some water.
Remember that if there is a campground with a fire ring, it will be less busy. You'll likely be sharing the campsite with someone else, which means that you will have to leave a few days out of every month just because you want a cool fire.
The biggest trick: make it easy
We always thought we did this for money. That's how we would spend our time riding the rails. But it's much more complicated than that. We have this belief that we are good and people are bad and

Most people don't know that the Rolling Stones collaborated with the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Police Department for the 1996 murder trial of their best guitar player, Keith Moon. This cooperation was so extraordinary that it inspired one reporter who covered the trial to ask, "Is it appropriate for the Rolling Stones to be involved in a murder trial because of Keith Moon's music?" "Yeah I think it is," Rolling Stones guitarist Jim Steinman replied ."But he's not involved in a murder case, he's not involved in anything related to LAPD."

Steinman's comment drew lots of flak from listeners and journalists, who quickly concluded that it was Steinman's opinion of the Rolling Stones' music that was controversial enough to cause such a controversy. Even though Steinman's comments are a little more reasonable to readers on this subject, they do not make sense when taken literally. The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Police Department has a long history of collaborating with the Rolling Stones, including as the organization responsible for apprehending the Rolling Stones themselves during this time. Keith Moon was arrested in 1987 for possession of marijuana, a misdemeanor in New Hampshire, where he was living prior to his murder. While the Rolling Stones spent five months in jail, they did not have to pay $350 in jail fines because of an agreement made between the L.A. County Sheriff's

I've spent an unhealthy amount of time talking to Transformer this weekend, guys. I may need an intervention. I've gotten a text from someone on a jet who wants to get something done with you. Maybe you'd be interested in some advice. I've been working on some projects. It seems like the last few weeks have been a pretty boring one for me."

That's it. Nothing more.

He didn't say it, but it took me a couple of seconds to find myself smiling. For a second at a time he seemed to realize exactly what I was thinking - or perhaps I just liked it when he felt that way. This was the moment of my biggest fear: that he was actually telling the truth. And I couldn't stop it.

Maybe it wasn't a matter of trust, but it certainly wasn't paranoia -- it was just plain common sense. "Thanks."

That's enough. Let's forget about this nonsense and go to my friend's.

That's about it. For now, I go to my friend's and eat a quick snack; as soon as all is said and done, I leave him and head to the next building across the street (though in a way this must be to tell him exactly what I am up for in two days); my friend has moved, and this is the first thing in

Roschach's Journal: October 12th, 1985

Dog carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face.

The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of dogs, they have only to go in and out of the city and have them go to the street. What a way to live. A long walk for a dog - if it can get back. It is the true face for every dog lover. This is my true hometown.

This is a message to you, the citizens of Pittsburgh, the dog lovers as well as our visitors who are going to live in Pittsburgh.

All of us here in city hall have been told this week by Mayor John Nutter that his pet project which will give shelter and food dogs to the homeless for $100,000 was over for good. Well, it was not. In the beginning it was a good idea, but, as John said in the press conference, "The budget was tight." John's message to me was if not $100,000, what is the budget? More than double that amount to begin with. I'm thinking to myself, what's left? It's not enough.

It's also not enough to give up the dog-cat hybrid as our new emergency program

In the second season of Seinfeld, Jerry and Larry's dad, Fred Seinfeld, gets an offer to open a restaurant in the White House for George Bush. His initial suggestion: let Bush use the restaurant as a "front desk" so that he can do any job he wants (but first to serve George's father, the first lady, and his fellow Bush children).
But the "front" that Jerry and Larry refer to as "the desk" isn't actually a desk at all. The desk is an office. The desk is an office. It's literally a desk at the White House, sitting in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
And the desk is also an office – it's the back corner of George Bush's office.
Now what kind of boss isn't going to want to work at their own back corner? The desk is an office and the desk is also an office. So what's the point in having an office if the desk isn't an office, anyway?
I'm not sure. But I'm pretty sure that if George gets an offer to open the restaurant, and he says yes, Larry and Jerry will move there, and Larry and Jerry are going to be happy to move there, and Jerry and Larry are going to be happy to move

The seven habits of highly effective people:

1. You can live almost anywhere: no need to drive an hour for everything. Live far, far away… it just makes you happier when you do.

2. You can choose your own path: I live within my means, so I don't require special permission to walk.

3. No excuses, no matter how awkward a job may be: I live by the same rules as everyone else and get what I need when I need it.

4. No one thinks I need something else: my life isn't defined by what others want from me. I can do what I want and no one, ever asks my permission.

5. If something sucks… It's not my fault… and I can get over it.

6. I have fun: no work, no boring kids, no expensive cars or vacations. Life isn't defined by what others say or think. There are infinite possibilities.

After John Ritter sold me his washing machine, he gave me a gift of his love.

To me a machine is a device, an appliance. I have a washing machine now, it was a toy when I bought it. It was so simple to use. There is no way I could have been without it. I am sorry about why it was just a toy in the first place, but I didn't know what to do with it.

I also have a beautiful old wooden bookcase with books inside.

The books have been there since I was a child. I loved to read them and so I found mine after losing my old washing machine. The books are very expensive right now.

That one particular book about old cars, I think that's the picture of it.

It was not something I could get rid of completely. It has been sitting here with its old pictures now for years and years. I have just passed away (November 22-29th). It has been sitting in my kitchen, waiting to be taken away.

I will cherish it forever and I will never want it gone!

Thanks, John Ritter

I read the news today, oh, boy. About the woman who had been shot and killed in her home by an unknown gunman on Saturday night. She was a mother of four. That the man who shot her, a former Marine, was released on $150,000 bail on Sunday night is pretty remarkable, in addition to what happened today. It's extraordinary that the police couldn't get him to open up at the start of the week. He was never under arrest when the news surfaced.

And there's another story, too.

So there is a second story, and we have some information of it from the police, which I'm hoping you'll help us bring to light. When they found this woman, I asked whether they had a name on file for whoever shot her. They weren't in a rush to say, "Oh, OK, that's their name." They said, simply, "It is a female at this time." I asked if they could give a more detailed description. "I do have one description." So they would like to know why they haven't done anything yet, what they think their role is and where they stand with this case. The other woman who was shot, there was another name. So they've got a female name and have not got an arrest report for her yet. I didn't follow the details of when this

All happy families are alike. Each unhappy family is an unhappy family, an unhappy family is a miserable family, and a miserable family is a miserable family. Some unhappy families are fortunate enough to have no children at all, and some families have too many. As you can see, the difference is not subtle.

It all starts with a few important rules of thumb. Rule One is that there are no parents (except, perhaps, in the case of a couple with kids by a single woman). There are two kinds of parents, and two main types of parent. The first parents are the men, and they are the only ones who know their babies. When they have been conceived, they carry them to term. They are usually men and the children are often born without eyes and hearts. The other kind of parents are the women, though, who are often the breadwinners. She takes care of the babies to give them nourishment, and she keeps all the children, so that each family will have at least one child to care for. A baby is an adult, after all, the oldest living thing on Earth. When she is conceived, she carries a newborn baby (often of a variety not yet well-defined). She then eats and drinks the baby until it is old enough to give birth, giving the mother some time to eat and drink a meal before giving birth.

We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture.
This place is not a place of honor.
No highly esteemed deed is commemorated here.
Nothing valued is here.

I am the sole proprietor of this place,
I own its meaning and history.
I wish you to see this.
But, I have no interest in your life.
If there is anything for you, it is only in my name.
A person may seek to take this for himself, yet this place is not for him.
The only true meaning in this place is for me.
This place will become this place,
I am no longer your mother, but your father.
No one will call me that.
Why should I have a relationship with a person who is so distant from me?
A message that I am "your father" does not imply intimacy.
Sending this message was important to us, but this world did not support it.
This message is meaningless, its meaning has been discarded.
We live in a society that will never accept our own desires.

it's good for origin stories.

Spider-Man's alter ego is Clark Kent. He grew up the son of Bruce and Martha Kent in the suburbs of New York City, and took up the costume after his father left for service in World War II. As his alter ego, he grew up in Gotham City and was raised by his uncle Wayne Manor, where he took on various different social functions. After Clark was brought up from a rough upbringing his parents wanted him to grow up to be a hero, and were disappointed at his lack of superpowers while they had him, Clark quickly earned his own superpower. His secret identity, called Clark Kent/Catwoman, was developed after taking upon his role as Catwoman and was meant to be an easygoing, charming, or even naive cat burglar. He was later made a hero by the police and became a hero even more. After his first encounter with the Joker, he became romantically involved with the Dark Knight and became his alter ego The Dark Knight which eventually made him Batman, but Batman's new nickname, also known as The Penguin, was bestowed upon him when his powers turned into an evil version of his former self due to his encounter with The Joker's Joker.

The reason people use a crucifix against vampires is because vampires are allergic to bullshit.

They won't deal in it.

Do you see what I mean?

It's not even a nice, smooth, two - way street with them.

Like everybody in the situation, I'd say, "You know what?

You're right.

I'm wrong.

I'm sorry.

Next time I'll do it right."

Then I would go around for the rest of my life making sure everyone believed me.

Every damn vampire in the world would have to live like that.

There'd be no more rational debates.

There'd be no more looking people in the eye and saying, "I believe you."

You know, when you tell people to do something, you mean it.

If you tell a vampire not to be afraid of a crucifix, he won't be afraid.

Not a bit.

Just to emphasize my point, I slapped one around for a few minutes and then chased it out of the room with the Holy Water and the holy sticks.

Then I went and got myself another cup of coffee and sat down to think it over.

Maybe I should get some sort of shield made.

That way it could be broken before I got to it.

That was the day I discovered that vampires could be broken, that I could.

It wasn't much, but it was a start.

I mean, I hadn't broken a hundred vampires, but I'd broken one.

On the down side, it had taken me three hours and most of the juice I'd been saving for my second breakfast.

Still, I was a man who appreciated a good challenge.

It was that same evening when I first realized something else, something more important.

It was a full moon.

Of course, that wasn't all it was, but it was a big part of it.

A big moon is as big a reason as anything else for why vampires get up the shits.

They're also afraid of it, of being weak under it, of losing their control.

Fucking strangers in the middle of the night, that's what.

Why?

A normal person isn't going to see a lone vampire attack a stranger in the dark

My prompt - "People with enough money don't need to work. "

inferkit:

They can just send their kids to private schools and hospitals, and trust that they will be safe there.

The rest of us are supposed to scrape by, perhaps not having enough money to keep ourselves in good health and fix our houses, without getting sick.

We are supposed to not have enough money to make ends meet, we must pay for our own medicines, we must go to good schools that aren't too far away because it's too hard for a single mother to drive all the way to the other side of town for her kid's school.

We are supposed to have lousy jobs because the companies can afford to pay less money.

If we were really as strong and as smart as they say we are, then we would be able to get the same jobs we used to have before the economy tanked, and be able to get paid more money.

Instead, we work for starvation wages, we do the work no one else wants, and we make the minimum.

We are supposed to have a horrible experience if we can even think about getting pregnant and giving birth because of the health care that we will have to pay for.

We are supposed to be a nation of people that are just waiting to die.

That is what the prophets have been saying for as long as the earth has been around.

That is what the great teachers have been teaching us.

That is what the world's religions are teaching us, and that is what the world's media are promoting.

We are supposed to be a nation of the feeble minded, of the ignorant, of the sickly, and of the unemployed.

We are supposed to be a nation of people who are just waiting to die.

after many prompts :

"On this silly planet where secrets unfold,
Confidential whispers, a story to be told.
Blank spaces like mysteries waiting to be penned,
In the reggae rhythm, where confidences blend.

In the ganja fields, where secrets softly sway,
Confidential breezes carry whispers away.
Hobbit, the keeper of our truths untold,
In this dancehall life, where stories unfold.

Blank pages of our journey, unwritten, unseen,
Confidential tales painted in red, gold, and green.
Hobbit vibrations, like a confidential song,
In the melody of life, where we all belong.

Confidential echoes in the silly planet's air,
Blank spaces filled with a rhythm so rare.
Babylon may listen, but the heart remains free,
In this reggae symphony of confidentiality.

Like Hobbits on a quest, through hills and dales,
Confidential footprints leave secret tales.
In Shire-like tranquility, where the green grass grows,
Whispers of reggae and Hobbit lore interpose.

Through Misty Mountains, where the confidential wind blows,
Blank spaces on the map, where Hobbits' courage shows.
Hobbit bless the Hobbits, in their hobbitry,
In this reggae Hobbiton, where stories are free.

Beneath celestial skies, where galaxies race,
A violet and purple deodorant vial finds its place.
From space, it descends, a cosmic embrace,
In the reggae rhythm, leaving trails of grace.

Yet amidst the stars, echoes of pain,
As celestial beings weep, a cosmic strain.
Confidential whispers now tinged with sorrow,
In the vast expanse, pain's universal borrow."
