The Holy Land

[Richter]

Xmas I'm spending with my folks.  Tradition and all. 

Other than that, I plan to lie, cheat, and otherwise weasel my godforsaken pustulant asshole out there by whatever means needed.

We will march on a road of bones.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Nigel, if you can manage it, fly.  Seriously.  It's a killer fucking drive, full of California and lose.

In December I won't have much choice. Grant's Pass is a real bitch, assuming it's even open; and that's just the beginning of the mountainous snowy hell.

Good.  For real, it's a bitch of a drive, no matter which way you go.  I will be flying to Portland, and will or will not rent a car, based on advice from you local types.  I would like to suggest that we have a meetup.  Also, since Richter won't be there to put leeches on me, there will be no "best behavior".

Oh we damn well will have to have a monumental bad-behavior-having meetup! I am pretty sure the Johnny Brainwash crew will want to attend, and that means Big Trouble.

Shit yeah.

On my end, expect withdrawl symptoms and bourbon.  At least once.  If I can't have cactus, I can at least go all to pieces the old-fashioned way.

Will be consulting with my doctor first, I don't think he'll actually have an issue with it.  If he's wrong and I croak, just light me on fire and toss me off a bridge.  It's the end I've always aspired to.

Or set me up in a lawnchair at the end of The Pipe.  muhaha

I would love to see the look on the face of the people who found you...

Also, we have the best medicine for a hangover, called Daddy Mojos. Greasy breakfast, $4!

This trip is gonna cost me at the gym, isn't it?

YEP. 

Also, you know I can't have you here and not cook for you, right? PREPARE!

The good news is that all the hiking I'll force you to do will burn that shit off but fast.

Okay, that will work.  Incidentally, I'll be quitting smoking again in July or August, so I will be unavailable for a while.

Cool. I kinda quit smoking again; by "kinda" I mean that if I'm out with someone who smokes, and we're drinking, I might have one, but I'm not smoking regularly anymore.

I'm quitting entirely again, as I am having trouble reconciling paying $8/pack for the right to poison myself.

7.  I plan to visit Portland this fall, and Scotland/Southampton in the middle of the fucking winter (why the hell not?).  I will post those dates to avoid you poor bastards showing up without a reputable tour guide.

Scotland, you say? Not fucking Scotland Ohio or some bullshit like that? You mean the original - where people from hell get sent if they're bad - Scotland? You're really going to be landing on my island?

I can promise you, you will have a roof over your feet, food on which to rest your head and all the sofa you can eat, for as long as it takes to work out the error of your ways and plot a means of escape!

Woot.  I have 3 objectives for that trip:

1.  Meet as many of the UK/Euro spags as possible,

2.  See a real fucking castle.

3.  Get all fucked up and roll rocks down on top of York.  Like the good old days.

[P3nT4gR4m]

Fuckin A. This shit will be epic. I guarantee it or you sanity back!

[Doktor Howl]

Fuckin A. This shit will be epic. I guarantee it or you sanity back!

But what if I don't want it back?  I got sane last week, and that just made coming back here so much worse.

[Telarus]

Epic thread is epic.

[East Coast Hustle]

Fuck yeah.  I have no plans for the suburbs, and I judge cities by the crazies on their busses.

PDX will disappoint you, then. You could almost eat off the bus seats, and TriMet cops are some of the most heavy-handed of the notoriously "shoot first, shoot more later" PDX cops.

ETA: of course, if you just accept that the cops ARE the crazies on the busses/MAX rail, you might not be disappointed after all. If you spend a week there, there's a decent chance you'll witness the police shoot someone.

That's sort of a shame, really.  You can tell a lot about a city by the way they abuse their busses, and bloodstains are terribly common.
