Don't forget St Hilda, Abbess of Whitby, or Caedmon the cowman, the earliest known documented english poet.<BR/>Anyone who knows Whitby will also tell of famed navigator Captain Cook.<BR/>His ship, the Endeavour, after an illustrious career, (and after his death in Hawaii), was eventually deliberately scuttled off Narragansett. As an act of war. Not sure what the point of it was... maybe to cause a nuisance in the shipping channel... I might have to look that up.

Besides wasn't it Jessica Simpson the one to say it was chicken?

And you know I have never figured out why English girls eat pasties. They wear them over here. You probably didn't know that. Google: pasties, stripper. Unrestricted images, of course. It will be fun.<BR/><BR/>So the Mail wasn't lying about Whitby? Tell you the truth, the pic didn't make it look like much, did it? But the picture didn't show the donkeys either. I'm glad you're back :)<BR/><BR/>(Made 100 what?)Relax Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051381168322495999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5987697048218684478.post-28222075029585691142008-09-19T18:42:00.000-06:002008-09-19T18:42:00.000-06:00Chica - I haven't a clue how many posts there are ...Chica - I haven't a clue how many posts there are total on all my blogs. I get a headache thinking about it. But 1098? God, I hope not. I have been at this since March. You have been at it since you were twelve. On the other hand, your posts are interesting. So that's probably harder, I imagine. :) And don't tell me you don't eat fish, either...<BR/>--------<BR/>Redbeard - I forgot about your upcoming trip. I envy you. And I love a good chippy too. Wonk wonk. But you probably don't go out chippying on Saturday nights, being married and all. It's a Western thing. :) I hasten to add I don't either, if you are reading this, baby. Never have, never will.<BR/><BR/>Isn't Lower Upton where they tried to kill Al Bundy that time because his ancestor made it so the sun never shined anymore? Think so. Tell me if they have sun there when you get back. I suppose you will not leave until you've attended this year's Red Sox pity party, though. Don't want you and Petra to miss that.<BR/>--------<BR/>Adullamite - I think I speak for all of us when I say I am in awe of you for eating fish and chips in Scotland. Just kidding. Not. At Long John's here they also give you what they call Malt Vinegar. It's brown. Salt is available also, upon special advance request. Most people go there mainly for the Hush Puppies, as Redbeard says.<BR/><BR/>I would KILL to go eat fish and chips in Scotland. I would. My daughter went there a couple years ago. Said they were really friendly. Unlike England. Or at least unlike London, where they don't try to hide their hatred of Americans anymore. They used to hide it, you know. But no fish and chips she said. Some kind of intestines or offal or something. But they were all polite, so she ate it.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your comment. You have shown true grit by coming back again. :)<BR/>--------<BR/><BR/>Don - How's it goin'? Thanks for the compliment. Chica didn't seem to think 200 meant shit. But Chica has never really liked me. So what?, I say. She's a closet chicken choker anyway, I think. Or whatever the female equivalent is. Sorry, Don. You didn't come here to listen to me ramble on about that ungrateful Chica. Just look at her fancy-assed avatar would you? She used to just have her face on it. But look now, 'cause it will be different tomorrow. Ummm, Don you are pretty new here, so I should probably tell you that Chica is right at the top of my buddy list. Just in case you get the wrong idea. K? And Caroline. She's ok too. Sometimes. And Petra, when she tries. And Suzy Q, for sure. But a. Oh, my! Stay the hell away from that woman!<BR/><BR/>Here's a little extra advice for free, since you read this whole thing: stay FAR away from Qelqoth. Unless you would enjoy watching a drunk Welshman eat Chip Butties with his mouth open. It makes this classy American just GAG watching the white drool come off his chin. Spare yourself. Just take that little tidbit with you. Thanks again for stopping by.<BR/><BR/>--------<BR/><BR/>Caroline - Thanks.Relax Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051381168322495999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5987697048218684478.post-15148190013021980722008-09-18T14:00:00.000-06:002008-09-18T14:00:00.000-06:00oh, i forgot the congrats for the 200th post.
