Actually Alisha, Liverpool rocked the fuckin' house. The people there were some of the coolest down-to-earth people I met on the trip. A random guy off the street we asked for directions actually offered to put us up for the night as long as we promised to (*in my best Liverpudlian accent)"fuck-off in the mornin'!" We also met the original Manager of the Beatles, Allan Williams. And for those of you who get a chance, if you go there, make sure you check out the statue with the Queen's cock.

Hmmm... I wonder.... do folks who currently live in LIVERPOOL UK realize the kind of romantic notions we have about it because of The Beatles? To me, its a must visit one day destination!

I must admit, Scousers are some of the friendliest people you could find - although there is the opposite end of the spectrum, also. *shudder*. I'm actually really glad you enjoyed it.
And not in the slightest surprised by a request for directions becoming a roof over your head - not at all.
It's so odd seeing you discuss the Queen's Cock...so odd! That's where my friends and I used to "hang out" before we realised the power of the pub.
Time spent with cats is never wasted.
Pam, if you ever do visit Liverpool, don't you dare consider not visiting me.

I usually run about with the Wirral (Port Sunlight) mob, but I get a good laugh with the "Scallies"
A-ha, my girlfriend is from the Wirral.

Wow! That is really nice. Congratulations.
I agree that is beautiful, congrats Ralph
Very cool, Matt. Is that going up for charity auction or will it be in the giveaway at the end? It would probably fetch a nice donation at auction.
Love that drawing in yours, Ralph.
I think it would fetch a very nice price at auction but right now, it's on the giveaway list.

As soon as I got 'em, I popped this one into The Green Mile. (which is my current read.)

Thanks, Alisha! (Green Mile is one of my favorites.)

Well, my 8-year-old daughter took a mental health day today (skipped school) and her morning is devoted to me.
