Between language barriers, culture wars, and strange people at the airport, your trip is bound to be rife with laughter.
Kicked Out of Google
I am a lot of things. Some people would just say that I'm "a lot". I'm a middle aged pseudo hipster, a stand-up comedian and actor, gay, and definitely a bit of a technology junkie. So when Google introduced it's "Local Guides" program, I got on board right away. Essentially their version of Yelp, the program allowed you to write reviews and upload photos of local businesses and hot spots. What was also awesome is that they let you accumulate points for everything you contributed, and you could cash in those points for real rewards.

When anal meets traveller, what do you get?
When we make plans to travel ( fuck you, 2020!), I am as usual super excited about booking tickets, scouring through pretty, pretty Airbnbs and finally zeroing in on one. My partner and I take responsibility for each task, one person books the travel tickets and the other, the stay. Of course, we do consult each other on the time, if both of us like the stay, yada yada yada.

2nd Prize is Four Nights
We went to the annual volunteer fire department fundraiser as we always do, and as we always do, we bought twenty dollars worth of $1.00 raffle tickets.

Round Trip
DAY 1 4:25 PM – I am eating the second half of a poorly assembled Turkey Bacon Wrap I purchased at Walmart earlier that day in the back of Cody’s car on the way to the airport, contemplating chronologically capturing the events of my trip… I let the idea go…

How to Conquer a Nation
First things first, this is a true history, and as such, it should be among those highest esteemed, and I even conjecture that at a future point in time, it will be bestowed with a legendary viewing; what’s more, I assure the reader, that there is nothing phony-baloney about what is written here and if one wishes to become a Knight or King or even an Emperor, someday, he will heed the instructions carefully concealed within this account, before embarking on any such quest fraught with peril.

My Love (And Hate) Letter to London Underground
Growing up in the far-flung depths of North London – so far-flung that residents argued if they were actually in London at all – I am well accustomed to using London Underground, where trains rush back and forth through the venous tunnels of the city.

In Nomine Patris et Filii Spiritus Sanctus Ignis
Listen, we’ve ALL done things that we are not proud of. Things that were completely out of our control. The Fates, Gods, and Destiny hae already predetermined you to fuck up certain situations and there’s nothing you can do about it.
