Not really an ending at all, Tex. Not really an ending at all. Yes, well, YOU were the lucky one. Your train crashed. I've written about this to death in the past. I'm glad you're still game, though. Therefore, I submit the following proposal for the second go around: Next time, you can sit in the minivan listening to John Williams as a couple dozen shady characters in R&B blasting pimp-mobiles drive by and get out of their cars on the eve of a virtual race riot and point at you suspiciously until you're rescued at 4 in the morning by a 350 pound Ving Rhames lookalike who tells you, "Damn, you kids is lucky. Shit, even 'I' don't drive around in THIS neighborhood!" I'm sure pasty white Anglophiles in Hawaiian shirts with the voice of Augustus Gloop would go over REAL fine there. ;D As for Joe Irvin's offer, I politefully decline. 200 miles away from Cleveland is still 200 miles too close. And I'm sure Brendan would agree with me.

Augustus Gloop? That's cold man. Real cold.

It's the ghetto talking...
(If it makes you feel better, I've been told I sound like Kermit the Frog after a vocal chord scraping)

Augustus Gloop? That's cold man. Real cold. Tex, even Augustus Gloop sounds cool singing "Don't Fear the Reaper". More cowbell indeed. I'm just catching up on the resurgence of this thread....and I'm with Tex: no Ohio and especially no Cleveland (or as I now affectionately refer to it, 'The Devil's Footprint'). The only way I would ever get near that place again is if God...er...David Arnold himself held a concert there and even then I think I would drive there via armored tank. For the record, I still blame that acursed playing of "Breaking of the Fellowship" by Jens before we departed for Cleveland for the whole mess. I still to this day can't hear that cue without going into cold sweats and locking myself in the closet until dawn. As the heavily armed gang members exited their window-tinted battle-hardened buick low-rider, Brendan caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye of Tex's eyes growing wide with terror. When Tex spoke, his words felt as ice flowing from a frozen stream: "Brendan....put...the map....down...........they are coming."

Did this really happen or is it an exaggeration? None of it's an exaggeration. But Tex and Brendan need not worry. For any future road trips we might undertake within the U.S. of A. you guys can count on me to come fully armed.
