For the love of God… Who thought it was a good plan to give me the wrong street? I was lost eight blocks east of here, and I crashed some other bash. Well… at least I got some free beer out of it… though, it may have been a bad choice to drive here, since I was a smidge drunk. Hope it’s fine that I parked on the lawn next to the pool. It was the only spot I could find. You might have tire tracks in your yard… Where’s the grub? I’m starved! ---

Hi, everyone! I hope it’s ok that I didn’t bring anything to eat this time. I wasn’t sure what our hosts would enjoy. ---

OK, OK, I’ll see if I can find a grocery store or something and buy something. Any suggestions of delicacies exotic enough that our hosts would enjoy them, but not so exotic I can’t find them at the local store? ---

/scrutinizes **Antinor01** closely I have to leave for a bit because I’ve been chastized for failling to bring any food with me. What can you eat? What do you prefer to eat? Are there any common foods you can’t eat? How about your fellow hosts? ---

[QUOTE=Diomedes] I understand entirely, damned paparazzi. [/quote] I’m afraid it’s not that simple.

Ooh, that’s hard to say. Of course I have the fondest thoughts for my home State, but every one of the others that I have traveled through each have so much to offer. ---

[QUOTE=Zoggie] I love Gracie Allen! She’s adorable. That dress she was wearing on that show, that one time…I totally tried to make one just like it. If you want, I can make you one. I’ve got yards and yards of fabric left over. [/QUOTE] That’s quite all right. I heard about this diet though, where you only eat once every 4 days! What do you think?
