Gibberings CVIII: I've appeared in some cheap Eastern European porn mag

[Albion]

Well that is beautiful.

I've been playing a lot of Red Dead Redemption on my PS3, if that counts as getting my fill of the American countryside 8)

It's got zombies too. Imagine where you were staying, with zombies. How beautiful!

lol. Portland is in fact mad about bikes too...


Oh and Powell's is a massive book shop which is the parent company company of Amazon*. I've never seen so many books.

*that's what my sister said anyway but having looked at wikipedia, she might be full of BS. Anyway it's the largest bookshop in the world. There are books all over the place. Lots of books.

Did you do a thruffle shuffle while there (the beach)

I've never seen The Goonies! Is it worth watching?


And can anyone explain these crop circles? I saw them from the plane as it flew over Montana, there are loads of them.

Actually, these ones in Washington are mental.

I never paid much attention to the crop circle thing when it was a thing. Then I saw hundreds of the bastards on Monday.

 

[Arnold]

Should have watched it when you were a kid, I rate it for nostalgia purposes because it was magic at the time.
You can try watching it, shouldn't be too bad as an adult if you like your 80's stuff but it is a kids film in the end of the day...

I even read the book before I saw the film...

 

[Mental Kenny]

Portland is the microbrewery capital of the world, a couple of years back I considered sending a sample of one my home made brews for the competition that they have there. So cool I want to go there.

By the way who is who said they never watched The Goonies? For real? Watch it NAO!

 

[TheSpade]

Yes, got back on Monday, just working through the jet lag now.

The jetlag is all in your head. You only get jet lag flying east to west (or vice versa) for a certain amount of hours and passing through a certain amount of time zones. It doesn't happen when you fly from the Americas to the UK, not long enough or enough time zones apparently.

There's no need for jetlag anyway, benzos sort out jetlag.

I'm avoiding benzos, I've had too much trouble with them.

How is there no jet lag? I left Portland at about 1pm on Sunday. I flew for 13 hours to Edinburgh and when I arrived it was about 1pm on Monday. The world was 11 hours ahead of me, my body thought it was after midnight yet I had most of the day ahead of me. I hadn't slept on the flight so I was fucking knackered. Yet I didn't sleep till properly till about 5am on Tuesday. If that's not jet lag, I don't care, my body clock was still fucked up

Still is. It's fucking 4am. I should get to bed...

 

[Myshkin]

And I hope you did get to bed. Welcome back to Britain and the promise of six consecutive months of damp and darkness, give or take the odd week. Possibly. Glad you enjoyed yersen.

It's nearly the end of summer, I have the window open and it's not quite light yet. Smoking a spliff and listening to Joni Mitchell.


Doesn't sound like much of a 'moment' but it just is. If that sounds like sentimental bollocks then feel free to fuck off. :D

Good mornings all around.

It was going to be just as damp, dark and wet in Oregon, probably worse. I find that if I'm travelling from North America to Europe I don't usually feel that bad and get used to being back real soon, the problem is coming back from Asia, warmer climate, and as The Spade said worse jet leg effects on your sleeping patterns. Then obviously it depends what type of chemical diet you can have, if any. When I came back from the US last time I was there, I had mxe, kratom and pv waiting for me in the mail box, didn't feel a fucking thing.

 

[knock]

Didn't sleep for long. I like joni mitchell, parking lot protestor, but that's the only song of hers I know. I didn't realise she'd produced so much!

Thanks for the welcome, Sam, it's nice to be remembered after so long

 

[Myshkin]

Her first few albums are lovely - I'm slowly getting through them and wondering why it took me so long. Like you, I only knew a couple of tunes. Though I feel like I should listen to her on headphones and blast Throbbing Gristle out loud on the stereo to keep up appearances. Like a kid reading a porn mag hidden inside a comic. Kind of.

That's your welcome home done with - don't expect many pleasantries from now on though.

 

[Moe-D]

Is it your first time? In a long, long time?

Its not my first time
But my sex life havent been so active lately.. It's been a while.
Almost 5 months or something..

 

[Ceres]

A whole 5 months? Poor you. No sympathy here.

 

[badandwicked]

Fucking LOL. No longer can you claim it's just me who thought you were a bloke B&W, that's about a dozen posters now confirmed they thought you were a man :D

Lol but why? For the love of god can anyone tell me why? knocks right, I could be a tranny

love joni Mitchell

MM - the idea that I'm attractive is lovely but a misconception that I'm in no hurry to correct

Welcome back knock, I read somewhere that you can combat jetlag by eating at the 'old' mealtimes or the 'new' mealtimes, can't remember which but worth looking into if you fly long haul regularly.

 

[jancrow]

It's an irrigation thang, not a UFO thang:

The same sort of twentysomething would-be-lad demographic that thinks you're a man thought I was a woman for my first few months in EADD. Join the dots and see if you come to the same conclusions as I did.

MM - the idea that I'm attractive is lovely but a misconception that I'm in no hurry to correct

Misconception? Oh, beeeeee-have, please.

MM - I could always attempt to abuse my mod-powers and furnish you with links to the pics that were briefly posted, but I'm not that kind of guy. I prefer to abuse my mod powers needlessly persecuting people, as you know.

To be honest I thought it was just a running joke because Spade once thought you were male, seems I was wrong though lol.

 

[brimz]

Sorry B & W but i also thought you were a guy , only for a few months though when i first joined .,
