She has not visited any of the places that you're going to, and is looking forward to your blogs.
(She also has your wiki page on the 'favorites' list.)
It'll work out pretty good for me too...

HMMMMM and the only quote is from a newspaper vendor who says " It comes as no surprise". With such damming evidence I really fear for our time there!!! :p

[Red Agave]

That sounds REALLY painful!

Don't mock my current favourite gadget :mad: ;)

I've taken to reading in bed with it to get me in the mood for camping out in the bush :o

Can you hang your battery powered fan from somewhere on the torch? Might be required for those warm nights

Actually at night it's often quite cold!! No need for fans at night!!

Whatever. Where do you think the term "Africa Hot" comes from. :rolleyes: You know nothing about the continent.

I wish our dear governor/presidential candidate had given that fine advice to his son . . . particularly in the midst of an election campaign! :rolleyes:

David Huckabee Arrested at Little Rock airport with a loaded Glock in his carry-on luggage (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,268762,00.html)

This comes just days after Huckabee had the brilliant idea that the Va Tech tragedy could have been avoided if the students had simply toted handguns to class too. I'm in the midst of finals right now. So I've got to say that the last thing I want to see are a bunch of wigged out, stressed out, kids sitting next to me all freaked out about flunking out and having to repay $100,000 of student loans (not to mention the $1,000's owed on those credit cards they applied for to get the free t-shirt that day at the student union) toting Glocks in their backpacks because its so accepted that it's casually kept there all the time right next to their cigarettes and laptop. :rolleyes:

ok i'll get off my soapbox now . . . :D

PRICELESS! Somebody rep this chick . . . I'm all out. Sounds like she's got enough "negative rep" already! ;) If not, I'll airmail you some D batteries for your "gadget".

Wait...They still let you have CIGARETTES on campus?

[topcatcole]

Wait...They still let you have CIGARETTES on campus? Sad, isn't it. Cigarettes kill lots more than guns, but you see which one they want to ban.

[goonermaui]

I'm still trying to maintain decoram about the ....

"Head torch while in the bush" thing....:o

[Lanesra]

Sad, isn't it. Cigarettes kill lots more than guns, but you see which one they want to ban.

I'd rather go head to head with a bloke waving 20 Bensons at me.

It's all fun and games 'til you ask an American.."Can I bum a ***?" :eek:

It's Virginia after all. This will be the last state in the Union to ban public smoking.
