Comments on: Tuscany’s in the bag http://killingbatteries.com/2007/07/tuscanys-in-the-bag/ Leif Pettersen's battery-powered rise to the zenith of travel writing rapture Tue, 15 May 2012 14:03:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Lucas http://killingbatteries.com/2007/07/tuscanys-in-the-bag/comment-page-1/#comment-17106 Lucas Thu, 05 Jul 2007 18:38:11 +0000 http://killingbatteries.com/2007/07/tuscanys-in-the-bag/#comment-17106 Well, to be honest, my brief inspection left me with the impression that it was significantly lacking in low-grade humor. But what did you expect from those LP prunes of editors? Other than that though it looks like a fine book, and if I go back to Romania I'll definitely put it to the test.... and if by chance it turns out to more resemble a last-minute coffee-fueled over-punctuated 11th grade essay than a well-researched guide book I'll know who to cuss when I'm using a stray dog as a pillow.

Gemma – you know I view all boobs as equals. It's all clearly explained in my upcoming manifesto "I Have a Dream (About Boobies)" Lucas – I tried the modest, humble approach to self-promotion (doing nothing) and that got me a whole lotta dilly. Now I'm giving shameless self-promotion a try, you know just to compare. Did you like the book? Kristin – Why aren't more women like you? Will you marry me? BEACH UPDATE - I was robbed of my free time by several conspiring entities on Mallorca, but today on Ibiza, after two appointments, unless something goes hugely wrong, I will be enjoying a good lie down on a nearby beach. When the hotel staff here got a look at my cream cheese white feet, they insisted, ardently. This comments area gets more esoteric by the week.

James Earl Jones: You're a man, about to be married. She will give you much pleasure! Eddie Murphy: I'm not sure I'm ready father. James Earl Jones: Son, I know we never talked about it but I always assumed you had sex with your bathers. I know i do.

As a heterosexual woman, I'm quite comfortable with your objectification despite that I hail from the ultimate bastion of liberality they call San Francisco. Enjoy the boobs!

The mental image now burned in my mind of you in wine-stained pants, sporting huge, dark wrap-arounds with back-hair blowing is almost more that even I, a devoted fan can take! Hasta la vista you DOM.
