Things I did on my vacation.
« on: July 15, 2005, 10:05:47 PM »
Survived for three days on three hours sleep and a bag of beef jerky.

Learned my luggage had got sent to Laredo.

Got adopted by a large Mexican family.

Became lost for almost an hour on the streets of Seattle. Twice.

Insulted by a pair of homeless german punk rock goth hippies.

Had things thrown at me. Three times.

Was forced to drink: Iced coffee. Began questioning my sexuality. These were the same event.

Was forced to eat pickled herring and other sundry atrocities.

Was stranded at sea for one million hours.

Caught crabs.

All in all, having the time of my life. Updates to follow.

the best thing is, he's not exaggerating ANY of this!

(although, 'caught crabs' means 'went out and fished for crabs, using pots and bait.')

Lol

Sounds like a good vacation to me.

I never realised iced coffee had that side effect.

'fun with sheep' is not something we really do on the west side of the mountains.

I suppose this is as good a place as any to add a list of my own...

My consciousness transcended space and time, and I became one with the traffic.  Then I got lost.  For around two hours.  Was guided to my destination by a glowing pirate hat.

Like Corvis and Red, I caught crabs.  At the same time, in the same place.

Was given a few good tips on piracy.

Was told I would make a good salt. (Naturally)

Heckled some cowardly seagulls.

D&D!

Saw real live seals in their natural habitat.

Saw real live LARPers in their natural habitat.

Got punched in the head by Red.

Got punched in the head by Corvis.

Stole a bike from some homeless german punk rock goth hippies.

Ate a lot of pancakes.

Slept.

Signed some chick's Iron Pirate shirt!

Was not forced to drink thai iced tea.  Did so anyways.  Felt confident in my masculinity.

Was almost eaten by a troll (not Corvis).

Got lost in Iowa on the way back.  At least I think I did, there were cornfields.

So I take it the NotCon has been a widely applauded success.

This describes much of the Midwestern US.  Not a bad guess, though.

How about "having my nails painted an appropriate piratey color?"

Yeah, she was your typical rock-star type fan.  Jumping up and down and screaming my name, if I recall correctly.  The others will back me up on this momentarily, I'm sure.  You were there, but your back was turned, so it's no wonder you didn't see how it went.

That's right, my back was turned... I was being mugged by some other guy wielding a Sharpie.
