I'm back. Thought I would have more time to blog from London, but didn't. I even set up a whole new archive page dedicated to my London trip in anticipation of my reports from the ground. Nope, no time whatsoever.

Who would have thought that pubs and internet cafes closed about the same time?

Anyway, what did I miss?

2 Let's see. What did you miss? Karl Rove? Still not indicted. Illegal immigration? The Senate still hasn't bought a clue. Good news from Iraq? Film at eleven (just not on *TOM). Culture of Coruption? Quietly off the 2006 table. Lorie Byrd? Now Explosively Unique The Davinci Code? The Blogiversary Code, a better alternative. Other than that? Just welcome back! *The Old Media

3 I have been constantly threatened and harrassed while you were gone Rusty. Come to think of it, they were all picking on me even before you left! Open up a can of Whoop-ass on 'em Rusty!

4 No lipstick lesbian related news to report on? Because THAT would be interesting ;-) Duly noted Larry.

5 Welcome back Rusty. Men are such pigs. No need to thank Howie for slaving over a hot pc for the last couple weeks making sure that the bloghouse was kept in order. Nooooooooo. Men just waltz in the door and say "Hey, what'd I miss?" Howie, I think it's time to hit the doctor upside the head with a virtual rolling pin.

6 I only see one problem with you plan Graeme. He may not want to blog after that. It's my pleasure to help the good Dr. Rusty Shackleford what I can.

9 What did you miss? IÂ’m sure some of the readers here canÂ’t get too happy about this as it may be another sign of the coming apocalypse; But...... the Seattle Mariners have won 4 games in a row!

10 Here's what you missed: it turns out there is an Irish phrase that even little old ladies seem to utter in just about every sentence. Phonetically, I think it's spelled "fyook et".

Everywhere I go in London I see Dr. Who's time machine, the Tardis. Somebody should have warned me about going into the Tardis because I had no idea The Doctor was such a perv.

Pictures of nude women line the inside of all the phone booths here. Friendly too, since it seems each and every one of them is lonely and/or looking for a good time.

WARNING: Do not encourage your children to use the public phones in central London.

The neighborhood we are staying in shows the inevetable decline of Western civilization.

Half the signs are in Arabic. Most of the restaraunts and cafes promise 'halal'--which is the Muslim equivalent of kosher.

Pretty much every one I've met in the shops speak with an accent--and not a British one.

But the key sign that British civilization is in decline?

No Mountain Dew. Anywhere.

Is it any wonder the Empire collapsed?

Arrived at the hotel only be be swallowed by a sea of blue. Chelsea Blue.

Apparently there is some sort of sport they play here called football. Very similar to soccer, from what I gather.

Anyway this football team from Chelsea won some big match yesterday. The stadium must be near our hotel because this whole section of town is a sea of blue.

The tube was packed, all blue. The neighborhood was filled with swarms of kids--in blue. At least 10% of the cars going by had Chelsea flags.

This town certainly takes its sport seriously.

But why do all the Chelsea fans seem to be drinking Budweiser? Good lord, have these people no sense of decency!?!?
