Oh, ain't I just da smawdest?

You ah just da smawdest!

I can't tell you all how much of a relief it is to know that there are researchers that understand what I mean by saying that we'd get killed mercilessly in the streets if we said we were Yankees fans, or by swimming in the Charles, we'd have to be hospitalized...

I know what you mean! I spend half my time here explaining what I mean!

Yes, that's right. Unless you're driving a car, which would make it left. *pompus *

*pompus *

*in snooty, pompus Beverly Hills voice*
Oh, George. You've got such a sense of *voice becomes nasaly*huuuuuuuumor.

*more pompus ing*

Let us all gow to the Old North Church and attend a real Boston Mass!
*pompus *

I really don't think I'll be able to act this way with a straight face...

Who cares? We'll be in Boston where no one knows us!

I have been known to stand out and be remembered by store owners, bar tenders, restaurant maitre-d's and such...

But you're right: Who cares?

Think of it as an adventure. Be artistic . Experiment . Sing !

Just got caught up on the backlog here. *WARNING* when I sing, small children cry and dogs howl and run away! Just thought it fair to warn you. As far as being pompus, I think I'd just look like an a** if I tried to pull it off, but I'm game for most anything (at least once, anyway)

It really sucks, sometimes, that when I get a chance to get on here, everyone else is gone. maybe if I worked a normal schedule I could find people to talk to instead of talking to the wind, Then by the time I get back on I'm like 25 or 30 postings again. There I'm done crying, no need for a towel.

RtJ

I meant 25 or 30 postings behind, again. Guess I better proof read better! (But you do see what I mean, 3 postings & I'm just talking to myself )

Heck I can lay my southern accent on real thick. That usualy messes up the New Yorkers I bet it would work in Boston.

Perfect. Set phasors to 'annoy'

Now about the accomedations. Should it be a day trip or should we get hotel rooms?

We could have twenty people stay at my place!

Seriously though, it should be longer than just a day trip. There's much to do, far too much for the time of one measely little day...

Another thought is transportation from the place of sleep to the places of play.

Oh, if I'm getting into extreme "annoy-mode" I'll need more than a day to really get into it ...
