What Do You Want To Talk About? (EnWorld edition)

[Jet Shield]

I'll probably leave Saturday and head home Monday depending on how I feel. It's not like I have any real reason to go to RI, I just felt like going somewhere and that's where the dart landed.

According to my grandmother, my family is related to Benedict Arnold. Yay for useless information!



Hmm....that probably means I'm on some watch list somewhere because of what my (supposed) distant-and-long-dead relative did.

Okay, did I really just see a commercial with Jose Canseco shilling a product that increases testosterone???

edit: the smileys on this site need.....work.

edit 2: Wanna see it again?

Yup. Pretty much. I'll bet there's a lighthouse somewhere I can climb up to see into the next state.

I have no idea. Likely, I won't know until I get there. As for planning, that'll probably be just a list of places I'd like to see. Then I'll pick a few as I go. The point to this whole road trip is that I can just do what I want when I want to (within reason, of course). Hell, for all I know I'll get to RI, see a few things, and decide to drive to Maine. Maybe I'll end up taking a trip up to Canukistan and paying goldo's hobo to sing loudly all night.

Andropause affects all man, MJ.

Is it my imagination or should celebrities make a special point of avoiding the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations?

As for hotel reservations, I'm not even sure where I might be when the time comes for sleep. It's not something I'm overly concerned with. I mentioned earlier that I'll be driving a Durango. All I really need is a Walmart parking lot, truckstop, or highway rest area. With the seats down, there's plenty of room for sleeping. I always keep a tent in the back, too, so maybe I'll find a camping area to set up for a night or two before I leave for the trip.

There's another place I haven't been. Also, isn't Lizzie Borden's house in Massachusetts somewhere? I'll have to check on that.

'cause nothing says "fun times" like visiting the house of an acquitted murderer with a children's rhyme (that gets the numbers wrong).

 

[Jet Shield]

What about seeing the place where a greedy banker got his comeuppance? After all, Andrew Borden was one of the most hated men in town, and it only took the jury 90 minutes to come back with a "not guilty" verdict.

Woo hoo! England qualifies for World Cup!

Three Lions!

How do you see England's chances this time in the world cup?
