You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Does anybody want to know that Thuy's somewhat erratic grasp of English once led me to buy her TimTams instead of Tampons?
You fell for that old "mixed up the English" story, did you? Good lord Man, don't you know when your fiance is stepping out on you with a vampire with a sweet tooth?

Please allow me to say YAY!!! again.
"Australia" in the mention above, does have two VCRs so dubbage is possible and it shouldn't be that long.
Hmm. I have two VCRs, but dubbage is not possible, as even though I can play NTSC, I can't copy it. I thought Australia was PAL? In which case wouldn't you have the same problem? Or do you have extra-spiffy system-converting VCRs which can make NTSC dubs?

Where can it go after Nilly? Do we have any Antarctic Buffistae?

Always Anti-fascist!
BWAH, Trudy. I don't think Thuy would do that, funny as it is. (Not to get all "You have such a perfect love," or anything.)Vampires can be pretty tempting, though. I have pictured that, her holding the bag of chocolates with a "What the hell am I supposed to do with THIS? Crazy Australians." expression.

Yeah, I want to send tapes along to some stranger in a faraway land, too! UnAmerican lurkers, this is your chance to delurk with a special prize!
Do we have any Antarctic Buffistae?
Lots of Buffistas seem to like penguins, but I don't know if it affects their address (yet).

Um, I'd like the tapes back eventually. Though it would be very cool to have them visit all 5 main continents first.

do you have extra-spiffy system-converting VCRs which can make NTSC dubs?
Well I have two VCRs, which can both play PAL and NTSC -- the one in the living room can do SECAM as well, if I ever want to watch French videos -- so I'm assuming I can do it.
I don't think Thuy would do that, funny as it is.
She did specifically instruct me the other day, next time I bought tuna, to make sure it was "Junkie Tuna" ...
I have pictured that, her holding the bag of chocolates with a "What the hell am I supposed to do with THIS? Crazy Australians."
Better than biting into a tampon...

Hi, Fiona! How's Benno?

Don't get your hopes up, John. If they're PAL systems, which they probably are (they can just play NTSC), you cannot copy NTSC tapes on them.
Hi, Fiona! How's Benno?
Hayden! We're good. B. is going through a very cute phase again. The only problem is that his sleep patterns are a bit random at the moment. Mostly he's waking up early (way too early, if you ask me - between 5 and 6am). Then yesterday he slept through until 8:30. Go figure. Anyway, I'm a wee bit tired these days.
