Hi ho, Kermit the Frog here
Posted by Michael Pope on November 3, 2009
Folks, I’m not going to lie to you: I feel like shit right now. I’ve been battling yet another goddamn cold, and I spent all of this morning and afternoon writing a 2000-word essay for a class I’ve barely attended at all this semester. I really don’t think I’m up for typing any more than I have to, so you know what that means. It’s picture time.
(bee-tee-dubs: I’ve dumped all the pictures I’ve taken so far onto my flickr account, which you can access by clicking one of the thumbnails on the right of your screen. You can thank my Uncle Rich for graciously providing me with a year of flickr pro by checking out his photostream)
Outside of my hotel room in Rome, the Italian flag was flown with pride.
Hehe...pedonale.
"Hey, I'll trade you two Juan Marinonis for a Paolo Burali."
HERCULEEEEEEEEZ!
Wow, so the Canadians managed to successfully invade someplace. Color me impressed.
YES! MORE PUNS! SOON THEY WILL BECOME THE GLOBAL NORM AND I WILL RISE TO CLAIM MY THRONE AS THE PUN-DERTAKER!
So it looks like someone decided to give their bike a DIY paint job. With spray-paint. And the coated the gears and chain and everything. Something tells me that bike isn't really high on any potential bike theif's list. Might wanna skip the U-lock next time and spend that money on a proper education, Antonio.
I picked up a bit of Italian during my travels. I'm pretty sure this was some kind of underground dance club, but when I knocked nobody would let me in. Probably because my mom and aunt were right there behind me, killing my game as usual. Now I'm never going to learn the Electric Slide.
THIS JUST IN: Giant Sea-gull attacks Rome. Matthew Broderick strangely nowhere to be found. More at 11.
BEHOLD THE MIGHTY PHAR-AWESOME II
Max, is this irony? Are you even reading this?
I promise you, I did not add that underline in Photoshop. It really was THAT boggy.
Max, I think this cow and your brother Garrett were separated at birth. You're still not reading this are you.
Scot-o-raptor or Tartan-osaurus? Whatever it is, I want one. And I want it yesterday.
"STEEEMPY YOU EEEEDIOT!"
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Well that’s all I feel like doing for today. It’s not looking likely that I’ll post again before I leave for Barcelona on Thursday, but maybe I’ll change my mind after I finish writing another 2500-word essay by tomorrow night.
…YEAH RIGHT.

Yeah! Listen to Nam! America already has enough problems!
Like redheads.

I hate to bitch, but my gawd, it’s been two weeks! Sitting back drinking single malts learning to speak in a brogue does not seem to be forwarding the literature. (Can this blog be considered literature?)
