WOW, what a ride it's been so far!! Reporting from somewhere in Italy!

Lizardmom's IRREGULAR transportation Wow, what a trip!!
Here in our 'duck', we're on the lamb, maybe we should visit a zoo too!
AA got out of control while driving, we've been banished from a few countries...
Now in Italy, so far we haven't gotten into any trouble - YET!
Pass the pizza, this is good stuff!!
Where are we off to next guys?

Are we too late for Octoberfest in Germany?

Frog-lover said...

can this count as an educational field trip? hmm, history, geography, cultural studies, I'm sure there are more...

do you think my professors would go for that?

Can I come?? Please??
lizardMOM, please?? I cleaned my room, and I've been good:)

AvengingAngel said...

While we're at it, can we invade a small country? Maybe drop some Jaeger bombs on them?

Lizardmom said...

Mary, I'm sure they have a fest for every month, I think you're safe :)

ok froglover, if your room is clean and you take the garbage out to the road before we leave so it's not nasty when we get back... I suppose...

Lizardmom said...

AA, only if we take MY mode of transportation!!

OKIE said...

I know we are not supposed to talk about politics but I have to be back by Tuesday to vote.
Do I still get to come?

Lizardmom said...

Mary, I'm sure you can catch a flight back from just about anywhere we may be, but we'll miss you when you go :(

cyndi said...

I'm having eye surgery tomorrow, so it'll have to be the cushy duds for me;-) Dr's orders, I'm sure, lol!
Just don't make fun of the totally goofy looking goggles I'll have to wear, K?
I hear they'll be giving me ativan, so I'll arrive on the boat pre-schnockered. Wheeeeeeeee!

Beejay said...

Can we go to Italy??? Can we? Can we? Please...whine, whine....

Lizardmom said...

of course Beejay, but I'm not sure how to get there, somebody pull out a map!

hale-bopp said...

Just a warning when we get to the borders...I am on one of "those lists".

OrbsCorbs said...

Ooo, I'm jealous of hale. I wanna be on one of those lists, too.

I vote for Lizardmom's original all terrain vehicle. It's irregular.

kkdither said...

I'll text you guys from the buffet line.... he he..

Plus, I've always wanted to ride the TGV (train à grande vitesse, French for "high-speed train")

hale-bopp said...

I rode the TGV from Paris to Strasbourg last April...smooth!

Beejay said...

honest, we can go to Italy...oh, I am so excited...I'm at the bar ... you know, the wine bar. But don't let Abby know.

drewzepmeister said...

Can we make a stop at the UK,too? I've always wanted to go there!

OKIE said...

Are we headed for Tuscany? And then can we go to Paris? Ooh lah lah....

OrbsCorbs said...

I think I got tested for TGV the last time I saw the doctor even though I told him that I don't mess around.

99 bottles of beer on the wall,
99 nine bottles of beer,
oops, wait, we haven't started yet, have we?

SER said...

Orbs, I think think Drew was singing:

99 brownies in the pan on the table
99 brownies in the pan
If I should gobble too many more
I’ll be able to talk to you from the floor.

Lizardmom said...

as long as we get out of here , I don't care how we go. Maybe a combination of all 3 would work:)
Wow, the singing has started already, this is going to be a wild ride!!
We can go ANYWHERE we want to go, so yes too all "can we go to..." 's!!

OKIE said...

Okay, when we get to Ireland, I'm pretty sure I have relatives there. Anyone interested in going to an Irish pub? I'm buying. (Or maybe we can get my relatives to buy a round or two).

kkdither said...

I feel an Irish and how cheap they are joke coming on... SER, you awake yet? ;)

AvengingAngel said...

I thought it was the Scots that were cheap....I mean Frugally Determinant.

Beejay said...

I have a nephew in Wimbleton...maybe we could crash at his place for a bit. He is an attorney, so if anyone gets carried away, I have that somewhat covered. Hale?????

OrbsCorbs said...

I don't have a passport, but I found this online. We look pretty much alike, except for the hair and the face.

Beejay said...

Dye the hair, and glue some hair on your face...it'll do.

Anonymous said...

Sorry I'm late guys! I heard we were going to Europe and possibly the UK so I had to find my English-English dictionary. Those things come in handy you know when you're in a foreign country and don't know the language.

Anonymous said...

Hey Orbs,
If the customs guy really wants to see your passport, tell him its tattooed on your butt.

Lizardmom said...

thanks logjam..... giving Orbs another reason to moon people again, the proper English will think we're a bunch of uncultured folk, sounds like fun!

OrbsCorbs said...

Yeah, I'm sure that will get me on some lists.

Anonymous said...

This is a special trip so it needs some special recognition. You know, something like....."JT Irregulars World Tour". Maybe we can rent a bus in the UK. You know the drive on the left side of the road. But that should be no problem for Lizardmom. Wasn't that the way she was driving on the last trip?

Frog-lover said...

She's only driven like that on the last trip??? Boy, are you guys lucky that's all you had to go through :P Was she wearing her lead-foot boot for that trip?

Lizardmom said...

hey, if it weren't for the boot, we would have never made such good time!
I knew it had to be handy for something!
Between the boot and the brownies, I can't keep everything straight!!!
You guys seemed to have a good time the last trip, lets get to painting our world trip logo and get back on the road already!
Look frog chick, I brought you into this world, well, you know the rest! :)~

Frog-lover said...

frog chick????? your eyes ARE getting to you :P go find some better prescriptions woman!

who is letting HER drive anyways???
PLEASE, SOMEONE take over before we end up on the side of some foreign road with people looking at us very strangely!!

Lizardmom said...

we were so worried about accomodations that we didn't discuss food, did anybody think to bring stuff or do we check out all local cuisine? Could be scarey or adventerous,but definitely would help if I recognized some of it!

Anonymous said...

Ireland?! That explains it! I was asking one of the local why they talk so funny and if its true the Irish are always drunk. Then I ask him if I were I had to go to kiss the Blarney Stone. He told me he just happened to have one in his back pocket.

Lizardmom said...

yes, we're in Ireland, please play nice with others, don't pick on the leprchans or you'll never find the pot of gold!

Anonymous said...

Hey Lizardmom! Did you see those palm trees in front of that pub?

Lizardmom said...

they looked very real, if they are real, we're in trouble, where in the world are we??????
and who's driving anyways?? the frog chick objected to my driving (maybe it was the years of hanging on for dear life and trying not to scream??)
so I remember letting someone else drive but I can't remember who, I dozed off... again... and the seat sits too low to see, maybe I'll have to trek up there and find out!
I hope our bus/duck/whatever we're in... hasn't been hijacked!!

OKIE said...

When Irish eyes are smiling, hiccup. Excuse me. I don't think I can drink any more. Could someone please put me in the direction of our bus, hiccup?

Lizardmom said...

oh dear, Mary, we have no idea where we are, where are you?? We'll try to find you, just keep shouting "I AM IRREGULAR, I AM IRREGULAR!!!" and we'll find you, hang in there!!
(or just keep hiccupping really loud!)

OrbsCorbs said...

This has been a most irregular trip, hasn't it? I hope we're still in Ireland. W.B. Yeats and James Joyce came from Ireland. Many great writers are Irish. Many great drinkers, too, I'm told. ;)

drewzepmeister said...

Let's check out the Blarney Castle! Sounds like a cool place to go!

Anonymous said...

Lizardmom,

Yes they are real. Because of the islands location where it encounters the Gulf Stream, and it's maritime climate, the country has many palms along the southwest coast. So break out the hula skirts! We're in Ireland!

SER said...

I gotta "bail out", haven't been gettin any sleep....sorry.

Lizardmom said...

whew, I was worried there for a bit, thanks for clearing that up

keep an eye out for the castle drew showed us the brouchure about, wonder if it's haunted?

AvengingAngel said...

Alright, thats it, I'm taking the the wheel. We are going to invade "Liechtenstein", only because its name sounds pornographic and I want in on it. LZ, you're on the .50, Orbs, put down that magazine and pay attention, Drew, crank up "Achilles Last Stand" , we're goin' in!!! Long Live Irregulars!!

kkdither said...

I have a baaaaddd feeling about this....

Why Not? said...

You are always welcome to Sweden, I can show you around. There are some very exciting things here to see such as the very first IKEA, I mean you really cant get much more exciting than that.. Absolute (your favorite flavor here) shots for everyone!!

As for accommodations you are welcome to bunk with my family as long as you don't mind sleeping on the floor. Sorry I'm 7 months pregnant I'm not giving up my bed or body pillow!!

Hope to see you here!!

Wahkinna beer does that hold (oops I think I said that already (hic)). Say, who's gonna drive the bus across the channel? I think (hic) I better siddown before I fall down (hic)......Oh oh, I think I gotta puke....RALPH!!!!

Lizardmom said...

just remember AA, we have to return the duck in working order!

Whynot - I'm not too great on geography, another reason I'm trying to drive as little as possible this trip but we'll do our best to find you!

OKIE said...

Logjam

You are more than welcome to have some of my gatorade and an Aleve. These Irish drinkers will kill you. I know we are headed for France but I do think we need to say a quick hello to Why Not in Sweden (as long as we are nearby).

OrbsCorbs said...

I got stuck in the suit of armor because you shouldn't put 10 lbs. of sausage into a 5 lb. casing. Thank goodness for can openers.

What I know about Lichtenstein: Polka.

OKIE said...

You know, before we leave Ireland we should check out the Loch Ness Monster. This could be an adventure. If we have some more of those brownies we could probably see Nessie.

Polka? Roll out the barrel.....

kkdither said...

Orbs, I demand a refund! I think you just stole 3 minutes of my life with that polka video.

OrbsCorbs said...

Three minutes of the Lichtenstein Polka is like three days in heaven.

Anonymous said...

Ooooo.....Please don't say "Lichtenstein". Just the sound of it makes my head hurt. Who was it that had the bottle of Aleve?

Lizardmom said...

Logjam, do you remember nothing of our last trip?? hello, DR MOM here...
I can fix ANYTHING! now get over here and take your medicine like a good boy

Why Not? said...

I'll keep the light on for you guys!! Hope to see you soon..

Lizardmom said...

whynot, is that you, flicking the light off and on so we can find you?? Hey guys, I think we're in Sweden!!
Must pick up some Swedish Fish! My kids love those :)

Why Not? said...

Thats me!! was trying to signal something in Morse code but then I realized that I didnt actually know Morse code, so sorry if I offended anyone. come on it the coffee is warm and the shots are already poured!

Why Not? said...

funny thing about the Swedish Fish, they are just called fish here, and Swedish meatballs are yup just that meatballs..

Dalahorses for everyone!!

kkdither said...

I must admit... I didn't know what a dalahorse was. I researched them. I found that there are dala roosters too, and, as most art pieces go, they aren't inexpensive! Cool souvenir, thanks why not!
dala rooster

Why Not? said...

The dalahorses were believed to be used by the witches that came out around Easter. As another part of my tour of Sweden we can all dance in a circle around a big phallus to a song about small frogs, take a drink at the ice bar and then spend a night in a ice hotel, then warm up around a huge bonfire that is used to bring in Spring (we'll have to do this a little out of season). I didnt forgett the worlds first IKEA. Otherwise there are a lot of cows about so cow tipping can be arranged!!

Lizardmom said...

whynot, you're a wonderful hostess, and it's SO NICE TO FINALLY MEET YOU!

Lizardmom said...

BTW AA, Sweden is on the protected countries list, you'll have to wait and invade a different one! sorry :(

Anonymous said...

So how about a Torsk dinner and Akavit? (oh wait, that's our next stop) OK I'll settle for some Ludfisk.

MinnesotaChick said...

Hey guys and girls! Sorry I have missed all the fun!

Been busy making calendars.. *rolls eyes*

OrbsCorbs said...

"As another part of my tour of Sweden we can all dance in a circle around a big phallus to a song about small frogs..."

Yes, but I'd like to do something different for once. Having the cows around does make me feel at home, though.

AvengingAngel said...

OMG, what happened? This thing is trashed! There's empty beer bottles, all kinds of wrappers, it's a mess. As for me, I woke up with melted chocolate bar in my front pocket, a hunk of cheese under my left arm, and a cukoo clock around my neck.

Lizardmom said...

geez AA, I told you NOT to invade Sweden! You better not have messed up whynot's house! Is everybody ok?????

Why Not? said...

everything seems to be okay.. I finally found my daughter under a pile of wrappers but she was still in her bed so it's alright..

as for the ludfisk that is really something that needs to be opened outside, I think the house is going to smell of rotten fish for years to come.. =)

Say, what part of Italy are we in? Most of the women are blonds and they're speaking German or French.

AvengingAngel said...

Anyone feel like "visiting" another small country? How about Monaco? We're in the neighborhood.........

OrbsCorbs said...

Are you sure this is Italy? I ordered some SpaghettiOs in a restaurant and they just looked at me funny.

Lizardmom said...

Logjam, we couldn't possibly be the only visitors to strange lands, enjoy the scernery.We just stick out more than most in our cool 'ride'

AA, we can VISIT, but you can't drive, look at the trouble you got us in last time, geez!

Orbs, you're just lucky they didn't throw the can at you!! My neighbor is pure Italian, and they have hot tempers, watch it, we want to bring you back in one piece!

OrbsCorbs said...

And I want to see the Leaning Tower of Pizza.

Anonymous said...

HA HA LizardMom! That was a trick question. Northern Italy Alps near Switerland and Austria have alot of blond hair Italians.

Lizardmom said...

oh logjam, if ever there are blondes to be chased, I'm sure you'd be the one to find them !
