Well there goes my backup plan for a place to live.

If you can pull off wearing that shirt youre more a man than I will ever be. Come to think of it, the shirt doesnt really matter in that respect does it?

That looks shockingly close to mine hair-wise. Like a slow electrocution.

Is it required that all passport photos are laughably ridiculous, or just mine? Consistently.

Gods balls, you can say cock off but not bullshit? Ill keep that little tidbit handy. Btw, *cock off* would be downright obscene this side of the pond. But it makes me sorta, you know.... *puppy squirms*!

There is a salon I used to go to that had a brazillan wax for guys. It was called *The Pool Hall*, which consisted of waxing the stick, balls and corner pocket. True story!

Replace baloney with "bullshit" and it will flow off of my tongue with ease. Balogna is a mixture of ground pork snd lard, and comes pre-sliced like deli meat, so not exactly the same as spam, but equally disgusting. It is also inexplicably shiny/wet/clammy, even after hours of sitting between two slices of bread. *shudders*

I think bollocks is on the list of things a Brit can say but an American cant without sounding ridiculous. Got anything else?

Im totally distracted by the fact I can see up her nostril to her brain. Which is worse, not making eye contact due to nostril or cleavage?

"Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes to the bone". I can't remember who said that...

Im thinking it will go better if I look once I get there, brandishing tape measure of course. How could my delightful attitude and charming face possibly inspire swindling? Additionally, I can look deeply into the eyes of any letting agent and whisper "I wont flee the country".

Hellz, they are going to have trouble getting me out of the country!

I havent signed for anything yet, but the place was around ?300 a week. Well that makes me a feel a little better, my heart can stop racing now.

Upon signing a new lease on a flat, is it normal for the letting agent to ask for, oh lets say ?7450.00, up front? True, Im not hip with Londoners, but it seems um, excessive.

Does Phil Collins really need to be dragged into this?

I suppose iron thighs have to collection something, too. Although you would think "just being" would be enough.

Sorry about the name, I was thinking of food.

Well you totally hijacked my breakfast with that one, El Piblano. How horrible. I, quite literally, asked for it however. Is there ever an all-out lets all swim the Channel event?

Was that before or after the swim?

So... This past Monday marked the beginning of RAGBRAI here in Iowa. This is the Register's (that would be the Des Moines Register) Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa. Interesting factoids here ~~~> http://ragbrai.com/routemaps/2012-interactive-maps/ With a route that averages 470 miles (760km), it is the longest, and arguably the hottest (it will be 108 degrees tomorrow) ride in the world. While there are usually a handful of professional cyclists, the majority of people who ride are just average schmoes looking to challenge themselves. (See attached picture of said schmoes) Which brings me to my question: Does the UK have anything similar to this? A challenging walk/race/ride that *normal* people do just to see if they can?

Whats even better, is that Im still here! Skulking...

Well put, sir.

Did you just say *fizz my bunghole*? I'm blushing as I ask, but what exactly DOES do that, aside from Poprocks?

Sounds like a good day for shnuggling!
