The Traveling Bluelight Gnome (See page 33 for the places David is going to)

[David the Gnome]

We grabbed some chocolates for me to share with L2R when I get to Australia, and then headed down the road to another semi-famous location, the original location of the chain of restruants known as the Quaker Steak and Lube which has a fuel stop and race car theme...

But they are most well known for their wings and sauces with varying degrees of hotness.

I was sad to see they didn't have a rating of "Gnome" on the scale, as I've been told by the ladies I'm fairly hot in my own right Still, we grabbed a few bottles of sauce to share with L2R - one called "Louisianna Lickers" that TLB likes, and one called "Buckeye BBQ" just to have something from Ohio that the Aussie's could try out.

Phew, after all that, I was ready for a vacation - between the museum, Cleveland, Sharon, Youngstown, and the Akron-Canton area I'd put on a lot of miles. I asked TLB if we'd seen enough, as it was unfair to the others that I stay so long - I really needed to hit the road and see what else was in my future for adventure. He said we covered what there was and then some, so with my visit done, we set out for Australia. I'll tell you more of that with L2R as soon as he's ready

Getreal is coming over at the end of may & we are visiting Zophen and Fast & Bulbous so that would make a jolly scene... although the postal service does suck here...

greetings and salutations from the backwards giant n shaped red rock next to the island shaped like the pubic regions of my late wife back in her hey day. the weather has been all over the place, lots of heat, lots of wind, lots of cold, lots of rain, in the short time i've so far spent in sydney. l2r is a fine host, for an alcoholic retard with delusions of popularity and paranoid fantasies. at least he has offered to host this, my first holiday video. i hope this keeps those of you who are following my holidays happy while i colate the pictures i've taken thus far.
enjoy.

p.s. that noise you hear in the background is just some rubbish i found on l2r's computer, along with all his other unmentionables. i thought it might keep you awake as i show you a little bit of this pretty but albeit very small city. cheerio. dtg

 

[guineaPig]

^so all those ppl driving by DIDNT call the police on the guy walking down the road holding a gnome and a video cam???
what a fucked up country.

 

[David the Gnome]

what on earth are you talking about mr guineapig? i was filming that all by myself. i think that fat hippy and his lovely bride were making love or something. that's why i tried to peak into their window.
with his pale skin, i expected it to be an easy peak, but alas, it was too dark.

 

[guineaPig]

^bwahahahaha. fair enough. fair enough.

i just watched it and it was a great idea, hope more videos follow..

 

[Squeaks]

Looks like David will be on his way shorty to New Zealand! In order to keep packaging costs down I am trying to group the locations closer to everyone.


Hope the Aussies are having a grand ole time with Dave though!

 

[TopRocka]

Based on David's experiences, Ohio looks like the worst place to visit in the continental US.

Before I hop over the pond, let me recount my time in sydney... hmm, now let me see. I spent a whole lot of time getting here. I have little recollection of that except for one brief moment of clarity where my slumber was interrupted by my person being inspected in all sorts of unmentionable areas by some customs officer.
They've compensated my dignity with a couple of measely flyers about their profession. I don't know how these aussies feel that they suffice but i guess i am the guest on this land and therefore i must abide by their backwards customs. Especially by customs.
Maybe they were doing a recruitment drive?

Anyhow, i found myself on L2R's temporary desk as his floor was "refurbished". Later I saw L2R's disappointment at the lack of change on his level.

Perhaps it ws the jetlag, or even the customs rape procedure, but something had be immediately transfixed by L2R's morning protein shake. All that milk in one place was very arousing for some reason. I think it reminded me of my late wife's chocolate flavoured bossoms.

I had been out of it for so long, I had to revisit my own adventures as written at bluelight.

As previously mentioned by L2R, I was a guest at his team meeting, although group brain fart would be a more fitting description.

Lunch with a couple of L2R's "mates". Unfortunately, i never actually saw them "mate".

L2R's current energy drink of choice. A few minutes with his colleague, it's not hard to see why he needs that extra boost.

 

[David the Gnome]

We went to celebrate the departure of somebody i barely got to know over some drinks.

L2R mistakenly believed he could out drink me.

And there was other shenanagans.

L2R and I put on our best Salvador Dali impression.

The ladies were all impressed.

The rest of the night was a blur.

Driving through "Glebe", we were heading off to a recording studio, as another of L2R's "mates" was recording a rap track.

The "studio".

A memorial of some sort we happened upon.

Where all the Vikings are, Glebe!

The view from L2R's place was fascinating.... for about ten minutes.

But it wasn't long before i lost interest.

And got bored.

And rather homesick.

I didn't have much to do, whether we were at L2R's work.

Or home.

I got really good at Wii Boxing. Here i am fighting a pseudonim toting Jesus!

I even tried my hand at Pool.

Got pretty good, but my skills don't match my boxing ones.

I contemplated a serious amateur boxing career over drinks with L2R and MAXBLOTTOTHEOCKER

Here, we await the train to go out west to visit L2R's family. This is the town hall station subway.

On the ultra modern early 1990's designed "Tangara" type trains.

The central hub of the sydney train network, brilliantly dubbed "Central Station".

I met King Kai chilling in the garden. Told him the secret to immortality in exchange for backflip tips.

Jose kinda scared me. By the size of him, I thought he would eat me whole. He turned out to be a real pussy cat.

You know, I was thinking about getting a new set of speakers.

L2R dubs this a "wog lunch". There's enough food here to feed an army of fat hungry hippos after a long session on the pipeweed.

Followed closely by a generous helping of "Pavlova". L2R at half the cake, which explains alot if you ask me.

L2R and I posing with our giant and full bellies on his hometown train station.

Oh and here's the train. Oh crap, it's one of the older silver ones.

Back in the city, here's a nice view of Darling Harbour, formerly known as Cockle Bay. That's "home" nightclub on the right.

Almost there.

Before doing our trip around the city itself, we replenished our fuel cells on KFC. L2R really splurges on his guests don't you think?

Darling Harbour

Just outside the Maritime Museum.

A monorail station.

Chinese "Friendship" Garden

The "Peak" apartments. L2R used to live there. Or so he likes to brag. That's the Sydney Entertainment Centre on the right.

Imax in Sydney supposedly has the largest screen in the world.

Another angle at Darling Harbour and Home Nightclub.

Making our way through the back of the historic "Rocks".

The bridge i came to see.

The opera house camouflages rather well behind that tree.

Upper George Street. CBD.

Martin Place

Further down George Street.

The very pretty QVB (The Queen Victoria Building)

It's a very old shopping mall.

Sydney Town Hall

World Square

Main George Street Entertainment Strip

The Masons are here and I forgot my ring back home!

Famous for it's high class car showrooms and dirty prostitutes, William Street...

...connects Sydney to .....

...King's Cross. Sydney's red light disctrict.

The city from a short distance.

Wooloomooloo or however that crazy aborignal word is spelt.
