Homer says it best


One more week to go. The "problem-free" existence is starting to pall...

Homer says pretty much everything best...

Cowboy! You're back!!

It's been far too long. I'll put a Simpsons post up every day if that's what I have to do to keep you here!

Froog said...

We still haven't heard from you on the 'anniversary celebration' thread, though - What's your unusual super-power?. Please share your wit with us there.

The British Cowboy said...

Are you posting on drugs?

Froog said...

Just 'high on life'!

The British Cowboy said...

You do realize not only had I posted in that thread 4 days prior, you had commented on it?

Froog said...

Oh, really - on the Superpowers thread?

Yes, it had slipped my mind. 4 days is an eternity sometimes!!

Froog said...

And that was 8 days previously. Two eternities!!

Nice to know how impactful my return was. Not that I expected fatted calves or owt like that.

My neighbor Ann asked when you're next visiting.

Froog said...

Do I remember Ann? I fear not; it is over two years since I last got to hang out with your crowd. It is nice to be remembered, though.

I fear it might be very soon indeed, since my bloody landlord is seeking a 35% increase in the rent as of next month (and that probably makes him one of the least insanely avaricious landlords in Beijing at the moment).

You are the only person I know who goes on vacation when he is broke...

I was amused recently to see some online article about couch-surfing as a modern trend. I felt like writing in to them and saying I could set them up with an interview with a past master.

Froog said...

Well, since I am permanently broke, I have to learn to live outside of the normal constraints and conventions of society.

And in fact, being on holiday - if you've got a free crash - tends to be a bit cheaper day-to-day than being in a working mode (more use of public transport, just as much eating out, rather too much consolatory drinking in the evenings...).
