Summer Holidays

I file that under "EPIC MEMORIES".

There was also all of that flying pop at the Burger King or whatever it was. Those poor workers...

Hahaha that's right! It was at a Burger King, and we did our level best to coat that floor with soda

DUDES. I still have that picture on my phone!

Well, the pizzas, too, but that one in particular makes my family wonder just what the hell we were so interested in...

I still don't get the whole effect of that situation, because I was waiting in line for the incompetent people to get my order while the rest of you were at our table when the first drink was spilt.

I do, however, remember the epicness of the moment when the second drink was spilt, and Alec had a spaz-attack to the point where he almost bolted out the door. Freaking hilarious.

He DID bolt out the door, didn't he? I am laughing again, seeing it all in my mind!

I hope it is ok to share this picture! Let me know if not and I will remove it!

The infamous PIZZA!

The gang minus one ForeverCrimson

The BEST Shirt at the Convention!

Steve, I hadn't seen those. Awesomeness. How come you haven't put these up on facebook? Especially our group one.

Obviously you wanted a shot of the shirt, because other than the shirt I look like a stiff blowhard with a red noose around my neck... LOL

I don't know about THAT one needing to be on FB, but the first one from the zoo NEEDS to be there.

FWIW, the floating Steve head over the pizza is full of win.

Never thought about putting the photos up on facebook. I will see about adding some of them there!

You don't look THAT bad Austin... lol

EDIT: Now added some pics to Facebook!

Yay more photos!!!

That pizza one was my profile pic on FB for a while. Got more than a few comments on the size. I swear it was bigger than me!

Also... I look so brown! What's happened? *sob* This is why I need sun.

That shirt was awesome, and I remember the epic Burger King drink fail. TWICE! Oops.

Awesome! Thank you!

Dammit... suddenly I am hungry for 28 inch pizza...

How much did that pizza cost?

Off the top of my head, I don't remember. It didn't break the bank, I know that much.

About $24ish if I remember correctly... Really not expensive. Especially as it fed seven of us. They don't make pizzas anywhere near that big on this side of the pond! And if they did it wouldn't have been for that price, considering a 'large' dominos pizza costs the equivalent of $30 here ><

The poker was great fun! I seemed to do better when there wasn't money involved

On an unrelated topic... just seen the news for today and damn there's protests in Spain. Grrrr. What is it with my summer plans attracting trouble? My first thought was going to Tunisia (back before Christmas) but then all that kicked off. I was going to do Morocco as well as Spain (catch the ferry from Spain and train it to Marrakesh) but there's been protests and bombs so we decided against that part of it. Mind you, Spain's much more stable than Tunisia so I think it was just protests like we've had in London - nothing as serious as in the Middle East. I'm still going. Protests or not, I'm going to throw tomatos!

And a little video just to show the craziness of what me and my friends have signed up for:

Yeah, that is a great deal. It is the equivalent of the area of 24^2/14^2 = 2.94 large pizzas for $24.

I was under the impression there would be no math...


Yeah, it was good food, great times, and I found out that my assumptions that I suck at poker were indeed accurate... LMAO

Okay so I've just got back from Spain and had such a brilliant time! I wanted to share a few pics from the Tomatina with you guys. We got to Bunol the night before, danced the night away with the locals, crashed in the ruins of a castle for all of two hours sleep, then was up with the larks to watch them putting a greased pole up that had a ham on top. Took an hour and half for the ham to be retrieved by people clambouring up over each other, then the tomatoes arrived... Place was packed. 20,000 people had been expected and 40,000 turned up!

Anyway, here's a couple of pics from the event:

Before -


During -




After -

Heh... those photos remind me of the exploding graboids from Tremors.

Looks like you guys had a blast!

Two things...

1) looks like you had an awesome time. So jealous!

2) My memory isnt the best, but I'm pretty sure you didn't have braces when you met us in San Diego last summer?

I was thinking she did, but my memory is shit... LOL

Yup we had an awesome time

And actually no, I didn't have braces in San D. I've only had them on since May of this year. I got wise (wisdom teeth) and they messed up the rest of my teeth so I had to have all four wise ones removed and these oh-so-very-attractive metal things stuck on my teeth to sort them out again. They weren't bad... but they were getting worse so it was wait until they were terrible and take ages to correct, or do it now and hopefully won't have to wear them for long. I'm sick of them already!

jawesome guys. I personally have had the busiest summer of my life. More on that later if I find a way to wrap my head around it all.
