Okay, either this is the best stuff I've ever smoked in my entire life or...

I really am in London, and I really did get sucked up by a tornado. Either way, as long as there isn't any random musical interludes I think I'll be okay.

	... I drive a Chevy Impala. So you traded fenders for funbags? I guess that's a tossup. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	... score. What year? And yeah, I kind of like the tits better. Balance is weird on legs though, even still I'm constantly amazed that people don't fall down more often. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	'72. Copper. I got it used from a dad's friend. Nah, they fall down plenty. My old buddy Kelso used to fall down a lot. Probably still does, I should write to him and ask. Oh. Oh wait. Yeah, can't really do that here, huh? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No, not really. I mean, unless he's here too. I tripped on the floor a lot the first couple days, but I'm used to it now I think, stairs and crap like that still gets me sometimes though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Dude, if Kelso could find his way here I'd give him a gold medal for surviving the trip. Or the first five minutes.

Stairs get everybody, man. Don't worry about it too much. If you have a problem with flat surfaces though? You might need to consider a wheelchair, just for your safety.
Or, you know. Not walking.

Man, Impalas look GOOD as people. Just saying. I always thought mine would look kinda like this greasy hairstylist I used to know who always called everybody 'Darling'.

Well I did have, I don't anymore. At least, not very often. It's the whole narrower base of balance thing. Well, and you know, two little tiny feet instead of having four wheels.

Heh, I like to think so too, and that seems to be the general consensus if the passing comments are anything to go by. And you never know, it might have, probably has a lot to do with attitude. I mean, okay, so Dean always said I was hot, and so I probably started thinking I was, and that held over when I got here.

At least, that's my theory.

	If only that had worked for me. I know I'm king Mack Daddy. But I still look like me. Dammit, must only work for cars. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lady_metallicar 2008-03-30 11:46 pm UTC (link)
	Probably. I think it has something to do with the already having a body vs. never having had one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's an Oz conspiracy. They're holding out on all us ugly people and giving the pretty bodies to people that weren't people but are! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh honey, this is England. The ugly here is beyond compare. Seriously. You don't even rate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	modernkerouac 2008-03-30 11:49 pm UTC (link)
	Oh yeah. I have straight teeth. And somehow manage NOT to look like a complete horse. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lady_metallicar 2008-03-30 11:50 pm UTC (link)
	See? There you go, two very good points. And you know how American girls are all over guys with accents? Totally works the other way around too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	modernkerouac 2008-03-30 11:53 pm UTC (link)
	That's fantastic. Now to find me a pretty English lady and a kush flat by the Thames, and I'm set. Someone who knows that the only good music is loud music. And one that won't insist on being a money-grubbing bitch. Yeeeeeah. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You should put up an ad on the boards here, seriously. I mean, if you want someone else who's also been yoinked here, I'm sure there are a few who don't have anywhere to be, or want to move from where they are. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	... So what are you up to tonight? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lady_metallicar 2008-03-30 11:57 pm UTC (link)
	Tonight? Nothing. Why do you ask? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	modernkerouac 2008-03-31 12:01 am UTC (link)
	Well, I'm sure there's something fun to do on a Sunday night in London after wacky hijinks with new acquaintances. Maybe I could take you out for a drink. Hell, if there's one thing I know I'm good at, it's finding a good hangout. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lady_metallicar 2008-03-31 12:02 am UTC (link)
	Sounds good. I have to say I'm not very good at dancing, but I play a mean game of darts. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	modernkerouac 2008-03-31 12:04 am UTC (link)
	Same here. You'd have to pay ME to even get me to consider dancing. Darts, however? I can do. Pool, too. On the condition that it's standard American pool, not... whatever weird Moon-Pool they have here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Snooker, and it's really not that different, table's a bit lower and the cues are a bit shorter, and I don't really know if there's any variation in the rules, didn't look like. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	modernkerouac 2008-03-31 12:10 am UTC (link)
	Well if that's all, I guess I could give it a try. Won't take bets on it or anything, but I'm pretty sure we could manage our way around a table of that. Alright, I've been asking around at this place I landed and the general consensus is that [address] is the most fine, upstanding place in the city for drinks and games.

	Oh awesome, I can actually get there really easy. How much time do you need to primp? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	modernkerouac 2008-03-31 12:15 am UTC (link)
	None, I'll be there in about ten minutes. If you need time, go on ahead. I promise not to be drunk when you get here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lady_metallicar 2008-03-31 12:26 am UTC (link)
	Naah, just need to get the grease off my hands, probably be there in about twenty minutes. I'm the one with all the hair. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	modernkerouac 2008-03-31 12:27 am UTC (link)
	Curly hair and aviators. (Reply to this) (Parent)
