Nah, I always want more, but that's why you plan the next trip, right?C.

Some really lovely ones from Kew and a bunch from the Banksy exhibit. Will that do?C.

An awesome power that I should only use with care.<br /><br />Colbert was right about the bears, I guess, but who knew they were pink and tax-free (at least for tourists from abroad). The poster says nothing about the muggings, so I suspect this is all a clever ursine campaign to lure more tasty Europeans to their feeding grounds since they are full of rich butter fat from REAL chocolate Magnums, unlike the faux chocolate provided by the likes of Hershey.C.

A bit of an understatement (Don Coldsmith, RIP), given the impact on the culture of, say, Billy Mays, but nonetheless, you see what happens when you leave the country.<br /><br />As my morning office email inovlved, among other matters, Lewis Black (and his mentoring program for young artists), that pink bear of a man, AC/DC cannot be far from our thoughts. And last night's rather random selectiom of the Brazilian lawyer/crime drama MANDRAKE for viewing in its dubbed into Espanol glory (HBO Ole, no less) involved in part a transgender prostitute, with silicone breasts and "pelotas" as her or his comic-relief customer put it, who used as a street name Viveca Lindfors. And I'm listening to a TAKEAWAY (PRI) report of a New Jersey man who was mugged by a tax-free pink, or Black, bear...the bear knocked him down and stole his submarine sandwich. Thus the nest of coincindence accretes.<br /><br />Welcome home, Kate. Avoid the food-taxing bears, and most of the other kinds, too...Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.com
