BWAHAHAHAHAAAAA 
It works!
My goodness. This has been your daily dose of Euro Sillyness. And now, for something completely different:

Great, just great.
I try to be nice and what does it get me ? A swift kick to the 'nads - from a clog-wearer, even. Ouch. Well, you can keep your below-sea-level, hashish-smelling, clog-dancing links in the future, so there.
Oh, and thanks, Twisty. I was just getting ready to level him with a well-aimed cow - hell, I will anyway. Fetchez la Vache!

Clog-wearing dicks, the lot of them 
Oh, and Snormy? Your mother was a hamster.
- and your father smelt like - elderberries!!!
I shall wave my private parts in the face of your aunt!
Sheesh, I wonder why Diane was worried about driving us nuts - personally I believe it’s way too late.
How bout this? Party at tater’s house to celebrate Diane’s European Journey! We’ll build a bridge of peace between the Dane and Dutchie with my world famous Korean Style Shortribs! White Trash Dip for everybody!
If you make it to Madrid, visit El Valle de los Caidos and see that Franco is, indeed, still dead.
If you’re interested in Paris museums look into getting a Museum pass. You can buy them at any metro station and not only can they work out cheaper–but you get to bypass lots of lines. I was able to walk right into Versaille with no wait even though the regular line was halfway across the courtyard. Same went for the Louvre (and definately enter through the underground entrance and not the main pyramid entrance!)
We bought a 3 day pass and it was definately worth it–I don’t know how long you’ll be there, but I seem to remember that they had day passes as well.
If you have limited time in Paris though I’d recommend seeing the rest of it rather than going to the Louvre. The Louvre is fun–but it’s crowded and very time-consuming. One book I had (Rick Steves I think) had great walking tours of Paris, I’d strongly recommend doing something like that instead.
tater (Ha! I got it right, finally! :p), That sounds great! I would bring green Mormon Jello with the shredded carrots, except I no longer practice the religion. I’ll have my dad whip me up something fantastic to bring. The guy can make shit taste good!
I am not sure yet if we’ll make it to Dublin, although I really want to try. I guess it all depends on what my British friends have in store for us. They have mentioned Wales, so hopefully I can sneak on over. My dad may make the England trip with us too (he used to live there) so we may stay longer and have the time to get to Ireland.
My daughter and I are huge van Gogh junkies (we both just finished the book “Dear Theo”) so that will definitely have to go on our itinerary.
Now that you mention it. . . .
