One of these days, I haven't been to the PNW since the late 70's, I'm overdue for a visit. :D

and finally...

Hearing of Bruno's penchant for Canadian men, Don disguises himself as a lumberjack to create a diversion while mimi steals shortbread.

X continues to preach to the converted (:D ) while Mrsalsa turns to drink and Don prays for release

Great pictures, Bruno! Other than the group shot, I don't even remember having my picture taken. Must've had more Drambuie than I thought.:rolleyes: Great captions, too! Haha! :D

My honey has never traveled out of the US (except the usual Canada & Mexico border crossing trips)...our first international trip will be to England/Ireland/Scotland, she wants to go where English is the spoken until she gets the hang of things. :D

Then you'll want to be sure to ask Bruno for tips on how to refer to the English - well ahead of time; she is the diva of etiquette, f'sure! ;)

Jeez, I need to work on those abs... :o

So Bruno, while we are in Scotland (someday) what should we go see/do? Besides drink of course. Or is that pretty much the local sport? :p

I can't wait to hang out with you again. You are a riot. :cool: :D

I'm not sure if my liver would handle a trip to Scotland. I have a hard time turning down a friendly drink...

C'mon, Boy! it's not about your liver handling it, but having enough braincells to look at the crew and say "Sure. I can sacrifice you in the name of Scottish ales and liqueurs!" Brave, kamikaze frontal lobe cells die for me evrrrrr mmmm nnnnnnngggggg....

I have this theory about brain cells.

There are good brain cells that want to study, work and generally act right. Then there are the "bad" brain cells that want to drink, party and spend your kids' college money on bike parts.

Bad brain cells are created when good brain cells go bad.

When the booze hits the brain, the bad cells push, browbeat and generally punk the good ones into having "just a little drink."

In the bike shop, the bad cells are the ones saying "They are phil wood hubs, that's ONLY two or three college text books..."

Well, I've already been to college so I don't need to study anymore.

CC, me thinks that many of those Kiwis and Aussies can trace their ancestors back to Scotland. Och, aye!

The same could probably be said about them southern mountain folk. You know who you are. ;) :p

Good morning, CC. See this link for your entertainment for today:

When I was in college my roommate at a boyfriend who was Scottish, I can actually understand a Scot pretty well. My problem is after growing up all over the world I tend to mimic any accent I come in contact with...an old survival strategy used to fit in in a new environment. :D

I've drank with representatives of several of Her Majesty's former colonies. It'd be a hard call. Bruno did put a serious hurting on that bottle of drambuie. She also drug me into that particular folly by insisting, nay demanding, that I partake also. Twenty-two ounce bottle of stout in my hand notwithstanding.

But, an interesting correlation. Of the 4 kilted members of the party, who left with their sobriety intact?

Should I also mention that my family ran moonshine only two generations ago?

Knew I shoulda flow-en over for that party.(Even if my one remaiming dependent child had to go shoeless for the next 5 years!)
Yeah, the Brits can drink, but Australasians drink more and faster.

Some people asked me what my home town was like - here's a web link that gives you an idea.

I'm in. Bruno, how much room do you have for our bikes?
10-31-2007, 06:51 AM
Bruno28

Lots of room! My garage is nearly empty as my car sits in the driveway all the time:D :D :D

The garage should sleep about 10 plus bikes! But I wouldn;t come in winter:rolleyes:

Don't worry Bruno, we'll wait until it gets nicer out.

Come! Come! - I won't make you sleep in the garage, honest.

Any??

By the way, Boy, I think we will not let you go to Iraq in 2009. We'd rather have you here. Let your superiors know about this decision, okay?

We need to go to a Falkirk game while we're there. Then we can buy Falkirk jerseys to wear when we ride. Last I checked, they were in 11th place out of the 12 Scottish League teams...so naps will be allowed.

Exactly! That's why we all need to go and get the jerseys. I'm sure we'll LIFT them out of their doldrums by our TE fabulousness.

Ok, when's a good time to go?

I'll let them know. Now we just need to find a country that will accept a deserter. I think that limits me to Iceland. I've seriously always wanted to visit Iceland.

Hey BIK, can you claim refugee status in Iceland?

Why not build yourself a boat & sail to new country & claim refugee status?

Would that work??? I've always wondered..

I don't know. Claiming refugee status is one thing, getting it is another. Particularly if one happens to be a US military officer who is wanted for desertion. There is no statute of limitations on desertion.

I think Canada has accepted US deserters in the past. :)
