Ireland Again & The Second Most Horrific Experience Of My Career

2/9/06

Hey there dudes and dudettes

This isn’t really one of our normal funny travel blogs, but more a story that I wanted to share mainly for a bit of therapy and debriefing for myself…

…In fact… some of the photos were actually SO scary, that if a Japanese horror film maker actually made a movie from some of those photos, then it would DEFINITELY be remade for American audiences with Sarah Michelle Gellar starring as my left testicle!!!

In anycase, this time things are MUCH more tamer since we have now currently been touring around Belgium and Luxembourg which are well known to be boring countries since they are both countries highly involved in the running of the European Union and hence full of pompous business culture and diplomats… Continue reading
