A ferret who's so drunk he doesn't know where he is?

Now that I think about it, maybe that is a good qualification in a tour guide. :D

He's in Finland, duh! What do you need to know?

There is the snow, and over here, is more snow. Now, if you look close over there by the tree, huh? No that tree, what? NEVERMIND, ANY TREE! You can just make out some snow in the shadows. The vodka is over here.

You are wrong there, the vodka is over here, across the gulf of Finland. Booze is more than twice as cheap here.

Let's see. A college town, and the college is Brigham Young University. That's not the fun spot of anywhere. :dead:

I went to a place called Reed College in Oregon. It is probably the polar opposite of BYU in every conceivable way.

On the bright side, if I'd gone to BYU I would have graduated in 2 years just to get the hell away.

I lived in SoCal when I was five. I remember the view from my family's backyard of downtown could be obscured by the smog so badly you couldn't SEE downtown on some days. And at night the lights of downtown were always orange..:cry:

I dropped out after one year and joined the navy. After I got out I decided to travel and see the country. Funny how Utah just happened to be where I was when I ran out of money.

Guy I know has a Ferrari out there. No holes for a front plate, so he puts his front plate on the dash panel. He got a ticket for it. It was his first ticket ever - he's 67.

I asked people for their opinion on it - and they asked why he didn't drill holes...

They don't understand anyone that is different from them, and I hate that. Who in their GOD DAMN MIND would DRILL holes in a car that's bumper ALONE would cost you over $20,000!

I lived in Southern California for over 40 years. After my parents died I ended up moving to Missouri since I have relatives there. Talk about culture shock. :haha:

Good luck with your new home, :DL

Anyone else notice that Ducimus's Location data changed? :D How long did that take you? Eight-tenths of a second?

Congrats, mate! I wish you and the lady the absolute best of luck and prosperity for your new home!
