Spam? Velveeta? Some people don't care WHAT they put in their mouths!
I'LL bring dark chocolate KitKats!

Oh, yeah - looking at that car - my tame mechanic, with his trusty toolbox!

I have to laugh when I look at Columbo's car, can you imagine all of us crowding in there for this trip? Who is going to sit on the roof?

*arrives in a cloud of dust and smoke*

Yes, I'm late again! First, my computing system Samantha decided to fall ill. Then, five hours later when she was feeling better, the lovely people at Bravenet.com decided to erase all my files — hence the red Xs which presently take the place of images in my posts.

At least the file-losing scenario was across the board at Bravenet.com, as far as I can tell; and a number of us paying customers have made complaints, for all the good they'll do. And to top off this middle-of-the-night post of mine, Samantha decided to crash.

*sighs*

But, nevertheless, here I stand before you! So, where should we go? Where do you want to go? I'm open to suggestions. I'm thrilled there's food: I love Spam sandwiches; and I know you all like them too.



By the way, I've brought a friend along to run errands for us. I hope you don't mind.

:tounge2:

Hmm, your gofer looks to be wearing the scandalous
outfit Brittney Spears wore a few years ago. Hey, if she is willing to schlep coffee for all of us, what they heck.

I was thinking I'd bring barbecue chips, but there is a serious lack of chocolate in the food provisions. I'll bring the chocolate chip cookies and fudge brownies, they'll go nicely with the kitkats!

This book will help us plan our trip. It has over 15,001 possible destinations. I'll let you borrow it, Joe.

Well, we cannot trust you to pay attention to the driving and attend to your "errand runner" at the same time. I will bring along our own navigator.

I have a great travel book: "TV Vacations". It is a guide to all of the settings, for TV shows: Mayberry (Mt. Airy NC), Milwaukee (Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley), Minneapolis (Mary Tyler Moore), etc.

All are welcome, Cat Guy. As a newbie, why don't you run over to The New Cats forum and introduce yourself? Welcome to a fellow Floridian

Now guys - never having been to the good ol' US before - I want a blow-by-blow account of the journey across dirt-track and black-top highway.

The diners, the views, the people you meet and above all HOW MANY KITTIES ARE GOING!

I adore that old Peugeot - came very close to buying one like that when I was at art school. Had a tad more paint on it though (HeHe).

If you decide to cross the water (is it an amphibious Pug)? then count me in!!!

HIT THE ROAD!!

Oooh, this sounds interesting. That thing looks even worse than my '89 Dodge Spirit with the flaking paint and no bumper... but I mean that in the nicest way possible!

*sits in the corner debating whether or not to tag along*

Hey, Mr. Cat. Please include me. I feel responsible for the washout of our rattlesnake hunt. And to think that I haven't seen Tom Cruise since that lovely dinner1 (sigh) I have some McDonald's coupons just in case someone doesn't like Spam sandwiches. Of course, that's unlikely. I'm so glad Ghyslaine is going on the trip. I posted to her last night so that she wouldn't miss out. You know how she loves adventures and snakes, etc. She's with us, even though my post was accidentally deleted! Hey, there's a 1957 Buick in our garage that would hold loads of people. It just needs a bit of restoring.......

My '83 Olds will hold a few people and our '98 Nissan PU can take about 8-10, in the back or, 47 illegal aliens. Ike gets the X-cab, though.

Ok so where are we going first? I have a good idea- let's go try and find those cat books!
I hear they are loose and a-foot somewhere in the great United States.

Joe, I know this car is an antique but you did equip it with On-Star didn't you? Oh that's okay with Data on board thanks to Deb25 we shouldn't get to lost as we boldly go where no man has gone before! BTW I am not going to be in charge of litterboxes on this trip! LOL

Okay, I think we're all set! Now, I propose we take Hissy's suggestion and search for those cat books. In case we encounter any watery obstacles, I've managed to secure the use of an Amphicar:



Now, who wants to drive the Amphicar? I'll drive that old Vespa with the recoiless rifle. So who wants to drive the Peugeot? Remember, EVERYBODY is welcome to come along! Via the magic of cyber space, whomever wishes to join us will find our convoy just outside their door.

I've persuaded my computing system, Samantha, to help Britney with the chores. She's got coffee for us!
