Ten days 'til take-off! Well, actually, ten days until I take the cheapo bus to NYC ($35 round trip! beat that!) and then the next day, I'm off! Interesting bits of trivia I picked up. . .

*although most airlines are pretty strict about restricting carryons of weapons, could-be weapons, looks-like weapons of any kind, BMI (that's the airline, not the infernal calculation) makes an exception for three inch Kirpans swords.

*If you want to see what my blog looks like in Ali G's eyes, then check yo'self before you wreck yo'self.

*How about Abez's? Da White House? Yours?
