Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

Winston Stupid

On my way out to the Apex parade, and I’m remembering something very funny. A few years ago, I was out at the Office Lounge (this – dare I say – "redneck" bar) in Bloomington, Indiana for karaoke. It was the night of July 3rd. At midnight, things got really patriotic with songs like "And I’m Proud to Be An American." We weren’t the only group of cocky grad students there that night. There was one other. And one of the guys, who was completely trashed, screamed out, "Booooo, Britain! Tony Blair SUCKS!" with the best line being, "Winston Churchill?! More like Winston STUPID!!"

Katy has a somewhat gross picture of her arm that you can see if you click on this link.

Mom is bringing her camera. Dad has acquired a Nikon Coolpix (I used to have one myself). They are going to lovely places that I can’t afford to visit for quite a while. Therefore, I’m going to require REALLY excellent photos. I’m looking for images of this quality. Don’t let me down!

Mom and Dad Troublemaker are headed out on Sunday for Budapest, Prague, Vienna, and Slovenia Slovakia. Isn’t that cool? I’m pretty damn jealous. My traveling has taken a major hit in the last few years. Can’t wait to turn that back around. Hope they have a great time. And don’t tell them to take pictures. I think it’s covered!
