You hated LA? I can understand that, our traffic sucks, but you learn to work it. But having shot several shows in Philly, I'd have to say the same. Your liquor laws are just plain stupid. I find Philly crowded and crumbling. Your highway patrol are Nazis and your women (that I saw on the street) are for the most part hefty. Don't take me wrong, to each his own. Next time you're in LA I'll show you the beaches at Malibu, a studio or three where the prettiest women in the world get drawn to, and areas like where I live where I have 18 acres and several thousand acres of wild lands butt up on my property which is 35 miles, as the crow flies, from the Los Angeles City Hall.

While we're in malibu, you can show me the rent and the prices on all the local menus, and whatever i saw before that, i'll be disinterested again.

Also, I never saw more plastic women and meterosexual men in one place than i saw in my one day in LA.

There is no doubt philly is a crumbling mess and fat chicks abound, but it's really cheap to live here, they have a thing here called the bill of rights (gun rights abound in this state), and there are some damn fine women to choose from if you know what you're doing.

Plus, in the internet age, it is so easy to pick women up and import them, that that's not really a consideration to me.

The whole reason i was in Kali to begin with was to pick up my tall ebony princess in San Francisco (which i hated 10x worse than LA) and bring her back home with me.

She actually likes it here. I guess not paying $1200 a month for an efficiency in a crappy neighborhood makes up for a lot of evils.

There are certainly places i'd rather live than here, but no place in Kalifornia is among them.

Still, if i ever get out there again, i'll make sure i stop by and hang with you for a day.

Yep, flew to San Fran, drove the PCH to LA, then off to Vegas, then to Hoover, then the Grand Canyon, then cross the US to Graceland, aback up the East coast to the Pocono Mountains in upstate Pa, then finally back to Philly.

It was an epic trip, to say the least.

Oh look...all the one star thread raters are showing their faces. Nice to know my haters are still present and accounted for.

Just had a new electrical service installed, and i'll be putting in 2 woodburning stoves this weekend (by "me", i mean my cousin will be installing them. )

Besides that, just the pole for the girls in the bedroom.

Good to see you too RouxRoux

good to hear from you Bro. This place has become quite routine since you split. Glad to hear you're in one piece.

Thanks my friend, good to hear from you too.

I am afraid routine will be returning shortly though. At midnight I turn back into a pumpkin for at least another six months.

Sniper, you can bring your girls and their coloring books to hang at my pool too. You'd like the desert here a lot more than the cities in CA. Joe lives around the corner and maybe we could get Dottore and OddJob to show for a BBQ and really let the trash talk fly.

You need to go to the more red neck areas of Kali, out in the country.

Where are the pictures from the epic journey?

I was actually just out in LA in October. Was gonna look you up, but i hated it there so much i just wanted to get out of the state as fast as humanly possible. I don't know how you live there, but god bless you!
We were in Burbank last weekend and got together with Hugh. First time we had met and we had a wonderful time on his "backlot tour" of the Disney and Universal studio's.

Good to meet others while out on the road, especially gents like Hugh.
