Off the top of my head -

I had a fantastic time. More detail will follow over the days ahead.

Nose-buttering is a lovely tradition, and I heartily suggest you try it, if you have the means.

Safeway maple cookies are really dang yummy.

I want to go back to MD, very, very soon. I missed seeing quite a few people, and I'd surely like to see the folks I got together with most recently again.

I've seen wagers on eternal happiness for $20 and a meal.

Notes in my sack lunch make me happy.

Bunny Suicides.

I saw an Italian burro, a bunch of sheepies and cowies and horsies and corn, headstones, churches and very little traffic, advertisement signage for folks running for office (what is a county executive?), a bunch of really swell people, a beautiful family, a cd that looks like a saw blade, a ton of strawberries, how a house with no tv positions chairs .

I had absolutely no urge to touch the internet this weekend. It just didn't enter my head. (the closest I came to computer desire is the statement "I don't know, we should google it later" came up a few times.) The only time it came up at all was while I was sitting in the airport with nothing to do except window-shop, read my e-book (The Time Traders, by Andre Norton - a book seemingly endless.. somehow I'm going through it at an impossibly slow pace)

I had amazing coach-class airline seat-luck. One free upgrade to 1st class. the other three times had either nobody in the seat next to me (saving them from my wall-like vastness), or an 11-year old kid who was small enough not to mind and able to talk about James Bond villains. (My movie knowledge and his interest in Rogue Agent)



here's why I picked up liberty stories



Got corrected lyrics for Jojo the Cannibal kid - mp3

thanks firpo, for the tune, and jpse for the clarification!

Listen to me you explorers, Buck and Admiral Byrd,
Here's a story, one you never heard
there's a fellow in the jungle
one you never knew
you won't get him, but he might get you

Who's the talk at every table from Chicago to Madrid?
Who's the African Clark Gable?
Jojo, the Cannibal kid!

All the tribes eat roots and berries.
He's the one that never did.
He prefers his missionaries.
Jojo, the cannibal kid

He could always pass on his manner and his savoir faire
Mix with every class - eat the finest people everywhere!

Circuses send offers daily
{Bertram Mills made him a bid}
but he's holding out for Barnum Bailey,
Jojo the cannibal kid

Mmmmyeow...
Don't you know? He eats them alive...
{gets the bibbity bobbidy myeow}
eating out, from nine to five.

boom jigga boom jigga boom jigga boom boom
That is the Jojo way
boom jigga boom jigga boom jigga boom boom
that means he's on the {trail}

{Everybody run and get in the closet, pull all the windows down
everybody find a safe place to pause it } Or could be "...find a safety deposit."
Jojo is now in town

Who's the talk at every table from Chicago to Madrid?
Who's the African Clark Gable?
Jojo, the Cannibal kid!

All the tribes eat roots and berries.
He's the one that never did.
He prefers his missionaries.
Jojo, the cannibal kid

He could always pass on his manner and his savoir faire,
Mix with every class - eat the finest people everywhere!

Circuses send offers daily.
{Bertram Mills* made him a bid},
but he's holding out for Barnum Bailey.
Jojo the cannibal kid!


Bertram Mills' Circus was the most famous traveling circus in England.

Hey Adam!

It was certainly a pleasure to meet you and the whole gang. Allison's certainly had a lot of good things to say about you, and I can certainly see where she's right. I look forward to hanging out next time! (and I'm shooting for another trip asap)

Cheers!

JoJo is the name of my childhood teddy bear. Well, the bear I luffed the mostest, over all other earthly bears. He's gonna have tuneup, and a makeover from his mama soon.

CD...saw blade??

Glad it was a good time. :0) Newt's not used to Papa being gone for long periods -- did he demand extra attention today?

Aww.. I'd love to see a picture of such an honored bear as JoJo!

I met a guy in maryland that was a coldfusion / python developer, and the demo cd was custom made to look like the blade from a circular saw. pretty nifty!

Newtiekins was a little vocal for my first hour back, but he had a babysitter visit him. :)

Nose-buttering is a lovely tradition, and I heartily suggest you try it, if you have the means.

The means being access to butter and having a nose?

From: [identity profile] scottobear.livejournal.com
both of those really are useful if you plan on buttering someone's nose!

Yeah it would suck to have a nose eligible for buttering and noooo butter in sight *grin* Thank goodness for the pancake plan!

my goodness, that's true! A butter famine would make it very difficult. :)

Wasn't "The Pancake Plan" the opening act for Depeche Mode back in the early 90s?

Well I'm sure Michael Jackson's family thinks twice about nose buttering. heee

You know the of that is kinda creepy.

somehow, once you add Jackson to the term "Nose-Butter", it gets all unseemly!

well, he can afford an assortment!



he doesn't even have to be present to have his nose buttered!

I know I'd feel safer if only his prosthetic nose was present!

Beside it would be funny when he couldn't pick up his nose cause it was all covered in butter.
EEEEh-Heeeee
