The only time you were actually there was while I was leaving, and you had someone talking to you in your little office there, so I went without saying hello.<BR/><BR/>Besides, your shirt wasn't funny, so what was I gonna say?<BR/><BR/>And who the hell is Boomer?The Moon Toppleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12717446064777879248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33218373.post-1157599154013310122006-09-06T22:19:00.000-05:002006-09-06T22:19:00.000-05:00Where have I been?

I am very happy that you are making it work.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of work, thanks for avoiding me the other day. That made me feel good. <BR/><BR/>Hope you are well, Boomer.<BR/><BR/>DavidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33218373.post-1157479066036211692006-09-05T12:57:00.000-05:002006-09-05T12:57:00.000-05:00Dirk,Wow!

Paddington (according to my guidebook) won't grant you an audience without a gift of orange marmalade, so I'll have to rustle some up.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the food tips, too. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to find a McDonalds, and that I might starve!<BR/><BR/>I do know, however, that they do not put spin on the cue (or queque) ball in England. That's considered "cheeky."<BR/><BR/>I think my phone has metric capabilities, so I should be good on the time changeover. Hadn't thought about that, though.<BR/><BR/>So, again, thanks!The Moon Toppleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12717446064777879248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33218373.post-1157478443099954212006-09-05T12:47:00.000-05:002006-09-05T12:47:00.000-05:00Maht,Just a couple of thoughts on your upcoming vo...Maht,<BR/><BR/>Just a couple of thoughts on your upcoming voyage.<BR/><BR/>First, I see on your map that you'll be very close to Paddington. I'm pretty sure that's where Paddington Bear lives. You have GOT to go see that dude. He's AMAZING! Get me an autograph if you can! Don't get tricked into entering the nearby strip club, The Paddington Bare. From what I hear, it's a dive - and the girls are, well, kinda "furry" if ya know what I mean.<BR/><BR/>Don't forget to try the English Muffins while you're there - they should be REALLY fresh. Also, the Toffee. ...and in London, for dinner, just order the Broil.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and if you go to a bar and people are playing pool - excuse me, "BILLIARDS" (limey bastards) - find out if they use "English" when they try to put spin on the cue ball, or if they call it something else. I'm betting on "Danish."<BR/><BR/>DON'T FORGET:<BR/>You'll be in Europe, which I understand uses the "Metric System" for most units of measure. Even their clocks are base-10. So if you THINK you'll be staying a half-hour from Buckingham Palace, you better find out if that's in "Metric Hours" - which is 1.2 "American (or REAL) Hours." A half-hour over there is like 36 minutes here. Some digital watches let you change over to London time, so that would be a good way to keep yourself on schedule. Remember, 10:00 P.M. is noon, 10:00 A.M. is MIDNIGHT!<BR/><BR/>Just a few tips to try to make your trip more enjoyable.<BR/><BR/>DirkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
