Get yourself settled in the comfy chair,
pull a comforter over your legs,
grab a nice mug of vodka,
and here we go.
I have a bottle of vodka...is that okay? Plus I don't have a mug...or a glass...
But first a word of warning.
Why the Center of the Universe in the title?
Toronto is the largest city in Canada.
People living elsewhere tend to see Torontonians as smug or self-absorbed.
So Toronto is mockingly (jealously?) referred to as "the center of the Universe".
See I always that that was London that was the Centre of the Universe...
... maybe an inch more room?
Gotta get those inches where you can
"Hi! I'm stupid and forgot to get my car rental insurance and now I'm in Toronto! Help!"
"No problem, Mr. Stupid.
I thought you weren't going to use your real name
But this time, I have to send that fax.
A....fax?
He looks completely confused and announces the machine's not working.
Well, of course not. In this day and age, who sends faxes?
Isn't that what cavemen used?
Sheesh! And they say I'm losing my mind.
Well you are
I didn't want a big SUV.
I'd rather find something a little less gas slurpy.
That reminds me of when my dad was buying his new car, for months he kept telling everyone he would ONLY consider a hybrid because he wants to spend less on fuel. Nothing else but a hybrid. So image my surprise when he tells me he bought his new car...a Range Rover......that does 11 MPG ...glad he got his efficient non fuel guzzling hybrid!
I suppose if I get in an accident I'll just indicate that there's a big dent and it will be okay?
Weird.
That really is weird...but you are still in Canada and you are such trusting people!
My car rental was for $212.67.
$500 is almost $72/day extra!!!
Now I don't know who to be more mad at.
Me, for forgetting to get insurance ahead of time.
Or the rental company for gouging the heck out of me!
Both. Absolutely both.
"In one kilometer, take ramp on right onto Highway 407."
What is a kilometre?! I only do miles!
I jab at Betty
Hey now!
And she was right. It was good!
Ahem...
I hear the original was good.
As with all sequels the original is better
Now when I read this originally on my phone I didn't even see the dragon and the dog team!
Was that a laserfish? A relative of the lasershark?
When I took that picture, I knew what those were.
I have no idea what those look like...
I petted her on her housing.
Is that what the kids are calling it these days?
She seemed pleased at the attention
*wink*
Oddly enough, Toronto doesn't have a rope drop.
It doesn't????
I, of course, was a perfect gentleman (as always)
Oh you were serious?
But I prefer to think it was because I was gallant.
Can you take it off?"
Silence.
Do you get that a lot?
I must admit that I was a little flabbergasted
at the ease at which I'd had the insurance removed.
Too easy
Well, first of all... "deep do-do"? Really? Are we children here? Please.
A little adult decorum if you will.
But I get yelled at when I use my adult decorum!
I find that my lack of brain cells improves the likelihood
of you finding enjoyment at my expense.
I headed out to the car and plugged in Betty.
She seemed to like that.
Maybe she was just being polite...
It looks like a medieval castle that was somehow
transported over from Europe.
It really does!
Which brings me to its front lawn.
I suppose the front lawn isn't really what you want to see is it.
Don't make a "foliage" joke....
And now you're wondering if Poo Pourri is something I made up.
It's not.
Sir Henry's study has two secret passageways on either side of the fireplace.
(I could only get one in the picture.)
When the doors are closed, you'd never know they were there.
The passageway that you see leads up to the second floor,
the other leads down to the wine cellar.
Its just like Cluedo! Or I guess its just called Clue to you over the pond dwellers!
There I got all caught up! Aren't you glad I came back and commented? Bet you missed me!
