Summer Travelogue Vol 1.
So Andy and I (as well as a couple million others) were in Britain this summer. It was definately one to remember. I’ve abstained from posting an intimate account of the goings on due to lack of time and motivation - but nostalgia is a powerful foe and the need to share humor falls upon me like a leaden hammer. What I present to you is a roughly sequential, annotated presentation of the goings-on that went…on. Jests, wit, jokes, farce and fancy-free will be privledged over truth. GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT? Didn’t think so. Prepare yourself for the next best thing to actually going to the isles. Have a pint (or six), sit back, and laugh.
Here, Andy points at El Blason, a restaurant featured in Michelangelo Antonioni’s brilliant film Blow Up. Pointing at something in a picture denotes a symbollic ownership. Because Andy points at the restaurant, he owns it. THAT’S JUST HOW PHOTOGRAPHY WORKS, K?? More later.
Ring Ring Ring Ring. “Hullo? You’ve reached my bananna phone. I don’t get very good reception here. Let me find a better place and I’ll call you back.”
“Alright guys, seriously, it’s really fucking scary up here, I’m afraid of heights, just get me down already. I’m so lonely…”

Lars: “If I place this nondescript letter on the cannon, my two shirtless friends will probably have a chance to make out with the guys they’re holding…I hope this works!”

Me taking a picture of Andy taking a picture…is that meta or what?
Re: You Got Served and the South Park episode that parodies it.
“Ahh, that’s better. My bananna phone gets much better reception in here. About that drug deal…”
I’m pretty sure that there is a dead duck submerged in the water, upside down, in this picture. Otherwise it would be too lame of a picture to take in the first place.
“Daaasss mah hops!”
Guiness Storehouse, Dublin, Ireland
Lucy is making a visual pun on “hops” (she is hopping) and Clay is making a visual pun on boiling (he is boiling). Also, there is apparently a wort on his ear. That is another pun, in case you missed it.

Me: “Now SERIOUSLY Clay, where are we. I feel totally lost. I have absolutely NO way of telling where we are.”
