The Holy Land

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I'm thinking Christmas time, actually.  I just had a horrible notion.

Oh, this is gonna be GOOD.

[Doktor Howl]

I'm thinking Christmas time, actually.  I just had a horrible notion.

Oh, this is gonna be GOOD.

Oh, yeah.  Kids will be in Ontario, so there's no limit to what shennanigans can go on.

I can lay in a massive supply of booze, but Freeky will have to do the cooking.  You don't want to see what happens when I am allowed in a kitchen.

Hmmmmm

My kids go to their dads for a few days around Christmas. Leaving me with nothing in particular to do.

[Suu]

And it's only a 10 hour ride out of Los Angeles.


...Oh I'm planning terrible things.

I just did this:

   

[Doktor Howl]

I see dark times ahead.   

[Doktor Howl]

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

[Freeky]

Two words:


ULTIMATE POWAAAAAH!!!!

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

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.

I've made the drive (to Phoenix) many times in the warmer months; I don't find it so bad. Never had air conditioning, either, driving in either a WV bug or a bus; big fun!

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

[Cramulus]

it's nice and cool outside, though not as cold as you lowlanders are used to (think 70 at noon and 38 at night...That's about a kilometer and a half, for you metric spags).

Portland actually has some excellent local distilleries making small-batch bourbons and single-malts. If you hold off until I'm back from Maine, we can get faced and take turns trying to pick a bar fight with a hipster. As for renting a car, I wouldn't. PDX drivers are the worst in the world (this coming from a west indian, mind you) and if anything causes you to have a medical issue, it will be the stress brought on by being stuck behind all those idiots. There is, however, an excellent public transportation system that covers the entire city (you want nothing to do with the suburbs, they're even more worthless than most american suburbs) and I have a spare large-frame mongoose cruiser bike in case you're feeling particularly ambitious.

[Doktor Howl]

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