I LOVE IT!
Some of my favourite things in there: flattened slag heap, vintage war planes, an abattoir (maybe the deserted factory a next time?), and two of the most attractive women known to (this) man. It is like a dream, it is like a film (all good dreams are).
Where's the Director, the Producer, the Camera Crew...
Val is editing a movie on her computer as I write.
THIS HAS BEEN QUITE THE WEEK, GYPSY!
I must say that Trash-Air really has it on Air Canada...at least the attendants were rude enough to swear at me when I ordered my fifteenth gin and tonic...not like AC where they just pretended to ignore me...all in all it was a great 4-day flight.
You forgot to mention my sequined hip-hugging jeans with the butt ripped out...in a bag heap at the foot of the steps...
...and I say, I meant to wear my flourescent pink thong - sorry...and I'm missing a suitcase.
The abattoir felt like home...er - I mean Stratford...well, with the ether, AC/DC and all, I think it did...wherefore art thou Dale?
...and, Gypsy, have you seen my passport?
btw i saw them sixes...
...and the 69
According to NASCAR rules - a black flag means you're disqualified...
koos i took loads of pictures specially for you..but somehow the camera got broken colliding off some womans forehead..can't wait to see the movie..plenty deserted factories here maybe next time you and val will visit, plenty room in the reliant....DALE ..your jeans were fantastic and so chic especially the designer butt-rip..i quite liked the illuminate green thong as it matched your complextion after your gin ridden flight..er..the suitcase is in bangkok along with your passport been sold to a thia bride as we speak..sorry it was an offer i couldn't refuse..oh dale next time we must do ming fellows...
Wasn't the velcro so we could walk better on the ceiling ...I'm very good at reading bingo cards upside down...
...does the bride have a blonde wig?
ooooooooooooooooooooooooohh
MING!
yes yes yes
dale we dont need velcro to walk on ceillings!..yes, she mysteriously found one in the luggage...yeah mings..you will have to perform the ritual but living so close to fish you wont find it to traumatic..ooh just think...KARAOKE night thurs..oh but you are off to see the WHO..how could you???!!!!
I am writing the smutty novel version as we speak.
Can I nick the line "clutching our glittering dabbers"? I think the Mann Booker prize may be within reach next year with that turn of phrase.
-AM
you guys had a party and didnt invite ME?!?
::wanders off pouting::
~Lace~
Come back, Lace...you ARE invited!
Just another quiet week in the suburbs then... I haven't been up to much either.
Seriously though Gypsy (if I may use such a word here), I LOVE this post. Aside from the fact that it made me laugh so much, I can actually HEAR it. I promise.
ok racey-lacey and marvelous margie can come fly with us the next time...margie did you hear the velcro ripping??...
I did indeed, Gypsy. Once I started reading the comments though, somehow the sound of the velcro ripping and the image of Dale's fluoro G-string became perversely entangled, and I now find myself crossing my legs and grimacing a lot. This heightened awareness stuff has its drawbacks.
Thanks for the invite to the next flight!
*L* This post is amazing! You shoud really write some kind of fantasy TV show, Gypsy...then we could see your creativity in full action!
Dale!! You never told us you were going to Trashington.....secret trip, eh....next time try Slingshot Airlines - it's almost free (you just slip the slingshotter a bottle of gin), it's a nice, breezy trip (bring a jacket), and you get a full view of everything you fly over with no pesky obstructions like wings or windows. *L*
What a great holiday!... very Jack Kerouac-esk! That's about as close to a trip I'll get until next year! Might have to get the Nyquil out tonight. I'm a lightweight.
YOU drank ether! Hellava way to go.
Gypsy - who's going to play you in the film? I know some people...
oi oi think the piccies link is workin :)
Hey Gypsy-
A lil Koos bird just peeped that your daughter got married.....
you've got to give us the story!!!
I'm headed over to see the pics.
Congrats to you and your daughter.
I've been missing you and wondering where you've been.
I wonder no more, but still miss your posts
take it easy-
cherylann
Yes, yes I second with Cheryl Ann - if you havn't floated off too far into the Ether, come back and tell us all about the wonderful day! .. in the eyes of a mum of course! Congradulations to you and yur girl!
