Girls and beer I can understand, but when did you develop the affinity for being seasick? [:D]

On the Zeebrugge ferry going back and forth to Germany while living there. My dad was a pongo in BAOR.

Nah..that's stupid.


I was so desperate yesterday I went up to Venice Beach with SG and her friend. Now I remember why I never go there. Quite an odd and interesting collection of people but I just wish the place didn't stink so bad. What makes the people interesting? I think it's the novelty... not to mention the feeling of superiority that one immediately feels. Now, I know what you are thinking. What an elitist *-****! No, I promise, if you went there you would immediately have the same sensation, not the offensive olfactory sensation, which you would most certainly have, but the sense of intrinsic and unalterable superiority. Here is why you would feel that way...because you would be right.


When we were done with the circus, we drove North to Santa Monica. Quite amazing. I think there may be an invisible force shield right where the Welcome to Santa Monica sign is on Main St. In a matter of 2 linear feet there is a seismic change. The street gutters are spotless. The sidewalks have been steamwashed. The street is lined with beautifully trimmed ficus trees. I think somebody actually washed all the leaves by hand or sprayed Armor All on them. The air smells like honeysuckle. In Venice there was a guy with a sign that read "Just passing thru/A buck will do/Need a beer". In Santa Monica, the homeless guys send you ads on your I-phone as you drive past. It comes with a cover letter and resume.

We drove up San Vicente, then over to Sunset through Bel Aire and BH (they shoot or Taze the homeless there). The girls spotted a Hustler store in Hollywood and had to stop. <rolls eyes> They go right past the clothes section and into the part behind a partial screen. <rolls eyes again> So we are standing there laughing at this life-size plastic female torso which is anatomically correct (except for the head, arms and legs of course). The photographs on the box leave nothing uncertain as to the contents. It's $400. I was thinking, how do the mecahincs of the purchase of something like that go?

Sales clerk: Would you like a bag for this, sir?

Customer: No, I'll just take it like this. I don't have far to walk. [:)]

A female clerk approaches. She looks at the girls and anoounces, "Good evening ladies. I am the vagina whisperer. Can I get you anything?" [X(] I guess I should have been flattered she deduced I wasn't going to buy anything but she acted as if I were invisible. In an effort to stay relevant I asked:

"Yes, we were interested in this model here <the torso>, but $400 is a little steep. Do you have any used or returned that are marked down?" This got a good laugh from the girls but the clerk gave me a "**** ***, pal" look. I took my cue and went over to the coffee and danish area to read my book on Guadalcanal. A coffee and pastry bar in a Hustler store. Go figure. I read a few pages of the author beating up on Ghormley and then we drove home.

Gota love language. A danish, in danish is a Wiener(brød) as in Viena(bread). Or maybe i should be just be insulted to be turned into a piece of pastry...[;)]

No, no. My fault. I should have capitalized "danish". It was quite literally a "coffee and Danish" area. An open-top tour bus had pulled up out front and the place was packed with Danish tourists. I guess it was the Euro-Dollar exchange rate or something because they were cleaning the joint out.

Oh, my bad Cap. Ill hafta come visit that place then, we do drink more coffee per capita than any other nation. Can i come crash for a week too, but sorry im not from Idaho tho. Im willing to distract Idaho girl for a bit too. We can discuss the rent to annoyance removal rate.

Kind regards,

Rasmus

[Cap Mandrake]

My usual strategy with visitors. I tell them they are making Pinhead the dog crazy. This makes them feel bad so when the inevitable "accidents" happen (usually the living room for some odd reason), they volunteer to clean it up. Usually I hide the booze too.

[Cap Mandrake]

This is NOT what Venice looks like. San Vicente in Santa Monica. Beautiful old Coral and Magnolias..about a mile from the beach. 15 degrees cooler than dowtown. It goes on like this for miles. Nice place to spend the recession. I think the Japanese car is either tourists or maids, or maybe part of a Korean Construction Bn.

Well, there are zoning ordinances to be followed, of course. I'd bet that Lexus is well-represented in the Santa Monica (used to live there near St. John's hospital by the way) area.

Still, I think it's clear that the economy-minded Japanese car is 'passing through'. If it stopped too long, some of Los Angeles' finest would pay it a visit...[8D]

So, you willingly consumed cream in your coffee or on your pastry in this place? You're a braver man than I am, Gunga Din. [:-]

Well, perhaps I have given the wrong impression. It's right on Sunset in a high rent area, bright lights, great sound system, hip music. It's kinda like a J. Crew store (except for the 20x40 ft naked blonde on the wall).

Yes, yes. 16th is perfect. You can take care of Pinhead while I'm in Sun Valley. I'll leave a key under the potted bouganville at the servant's entrance. Don't let Pinhead sit on the Louis XV crap, OK?

No offense to the Danes but I'm more interested in the Dutch field hockey team. [:D]

I like the women's beach volleyball. It's a tough sport though. I've only been watching for 10 minutes and already there is a wrist injury.

I'm hoping with some ice and ibuprofen I will be OK in a couple of days.

Did you sustain the injury during your pre-game 12 ounce curls or by picking up your paycheck? [:'(]
